The Dark Wielder - Chapter x project

In a nod to the erstwhile Victorian tradition of disseminating stories in periodic instalments, Chapter X is a social project that aims to revive a more deeply engaged and enriching consumption of literature through this project– and in turn offer a break from the current Netflix format of instantaneous bingeing.

Inspired by the Dickensian style of publishing, Chapter X is modelled to release multiple chapters on a weekly basis, incorporating a sense of real–time continuity as the audience is given space to process developments in the narrative at their own pace. Furthermore, we strive to maintain a heightened sense of suspense and excitement, as every chapter ends on a cliff-hanger. The chapters themselves are written bearing in mind space and time constraints, so that our audience can commit themselves to and keep up with the story -- the serialized nature of the content is deliberately chosen to make it more digestible for modern consumers.

Ultimately, we aim to foster serialized storytelling through this self-published novel, to propagate a more sustained form of storytelling by maximising the online space.
