During the Victorian era, novels were usually serialized a few chapters at a
time over a period of months or years.  Charles Dickens first novel The
Pickwick Papers, appeared in this manner.  It was tremendously popular with
the general populace, and it was said that the period between 1836-1837 was
an extended series of anxious intervals as the public awaited the next
installment of Pickwick

Should it not be a cause for rejoicing that we can replicate this excitement
at the dawn of the 21st Century?
