: Re: How to use short stories to explore a new setting and potential characters for a novel? I'm an aspiring fantasy and sci-fi writer and I my goal is to write a novel that is to be the first

Actually, my novels are by and large a collection of "short stories" where each chapter is a typically self contained story or adventure by a consistent set of heroes, which is building up towards the conclusion which takes place in the last few chapters. This is mostly because much of my writing takes inspiration from semi-serialized TV where the conflict of the day might be related to the main antagonist of a series or might just be an excuse to explore the setting or just a stab at humor. That said, my genre I best use this in is a superhero/scifi setting, which I feel needs to establish a good rogues gallery, rather than a single hero vs. villain which tends to happen in the movies and books.

Also, with the rise of e-publishing, I love the idea of serialized stories and making the readers come back time and again for payoffs and the books will more be a collection (think watching a new TV show vs. Binge watching on Netflix).
