A series differs from a [[serial]] in that a serial itself is one long, complex story whose separate parts (chapters, episodes, etc.) cannot stand alone; each segment advances the plot of the serial a certain degree, then the next segment takes off from the last segment's end, sometimes with no lost time between. A series could be composed of serials, but not ''vice versa.'' Think of the tales of a series as being like [[short story|short stories]] in an anthology, while the parts of a serial are like chapters in a [[novel]].
 
==Episode-Matched AU Series==
A significant subset of the series category is what could be called the '''episode-matched AU series,''' in which the original order of ''Daria'' TV episodes is closely or exactly followed in the chapters of an [[alternate-universe]] series, sometimes down to punning take-offs on the titles of the original episodes. The [[John Lane]] series is an excellent example.
