Followingchapter

Followingchapter is a term used to describe the portion of a serialized work that directly continues the narrative after a preceding chapter. The word is a compound formed from following and chapter, and is not an established term in formal publishing.

In practice, followingchapter is most often encountered in online fiction, blog serials, and digital libraries where chapters are released in sequence. Authors or platforms may tag or label the next installment as the followingchapter to indicate continuity and assist navigation.

Because it is not standardized, you may see variations such as "following chapter" or "next chapter." The concept is closely related to episodic publishing, cliffhangers, and metadata linking that helps readers move from one installment to the next.

For readers and editors, recognizing a followingchapter helps track narrative progression and ensures that linkage between chapters remains clear in search and indexing systems. Related terms include serialized fiction, chapters, web serials, and metadata tagging.
