to be honest i'm not really sure if i'm the right person to ask when it comes to series lmao. i'm really really bad at keeping up because i'm the type of person who gets bored with one concept very easily. so far with the pirate series, i think the fact that every user is unique, it makes it seem less repetitive in some sense, so perhaps that's why i haven't gotten bored of it just yet (fingers crossed so i dont jinx myself).

i think one thing that's best to do with a series is to plan things out beforehand. it doesn't have to be extensive, just the basic premise of each character is good, which can help you understand where you'd like the series to go, and how each character might react to different things. some things to first develop is the world of course, since that tends to be the same throughout every character. it can be as simple as what i've got with the black pearl: a fantasy medieval time period where humans tend to exploit mythical creatures. you can develop it further by actually worldbuilding it in your storyboarding, or you can make it as simple as that.

then understand how many characters you'd like involved (or estimate it), give them their roles, and what their users might look like in terms of plot/relationship dynamic.

that's what i usually do with my developing series but again, i'm truly not the best person to ask because ive never completed a series in my life 👀
