Web Serial Fiction discussion

I am trying to set up a Facebook-page for my web-fiction -- and am a bit stumped as for the category to choose for it.

It's obvious that the main category is "Entertainment" --- but I have to also choose a sub-category *within* "Entertainment" ---- and really, none of the categories really fits.

Seriously ---- for a web-based company, Facebook has a *lot* of catching up to do regarding awareness of web-based forms of entertainment. For crying out loud, they don't even have a category for web-comics -- and those are far more mainstream than what I am doing!!! As for what *I* am doing (similar to web-comics --- except I am producing a work of prose rather than a comic) they *definitely* don't have a fitting category.

That said --- I have resolved to pick the least ill-fitting category ---- and have narrowed it down to "Book Series" and "Magazine" ---- neither of which really fits.

Any comments?

I think "Book Series" would be the best fit. I highly doubt Facebook will ever add a category for web based entertainment unless droves of people bother them about it. There are a lot of people who don't consider what we do "real" writing. It's the same with web comics.

You could do book series or possibly go into company/brand and choose the website subcategory. If your webserial is hosted elsewhere then the facebook page is promoting a branded website. I'm guessing you'd be more people landing on the correct target going with books or book series though.

Thanks. :-)

I also think "Book Series" will be the least confusing, and would even prefer it over a brand unless you have your own. Explain that you don't yet have a full series of books, and are not yet selling anything. Facebook may never get it, but I imagine that those, whom Emma above noted, "don't consider webserials 'real writing,'" don't understand what writing demands.
