Serialization???

I've been writing a piece for awhile set in the mid sixties and early seventies. The piece began as a short story that just kept expanding. So now it's not really a short story but a series of short stories. How to present this piece has baffled me for some time. Then my sister sent me a link to a web site where the author has serialized her work presenting short segments weekly. Reading her pieces I thought about 'flash fiction' - each serialized piece was approximately 500 words. I love the challenge of writing a complete scene/story contained in 500 word segments. I'm currently revising and restructuring my story adapting it to a serialization structure. I think it will work great.
