Cliffhangers are the staple, the bread and butter, of serialized fiction. And that is really what the message boards are; serialized fanfiction.
If each chapter ended in a nice neat little scene, there would be no urgency to get to the next part. No great anticipation. Now, instead of folks checking the boards and seeing the latest SMK part and saying "Oh, I'll have to take a look at that when I get the chance", they'll be spraining their fingers trying to click open the file fast enough.
Shane seems to have mastered the art.
Many queations, few answers. Lots of reasons to "Tune in next time".
Looking forward to more.
Tank (whose time is much more limited of late, but will make time to catch the next installment when it comes)
