Sumario:This article examines the state of the art in narrative genre and format concepts, demonstrating the laxity of the former and justifying the analytical practicality of the latter. It proposes a 12-parameter tool for taxonomising serialised audiovisual fiction formats. The application of this tool to case studies that will also examine plot structures will help to identify the determinants (possibilities and limitations) that certain production variables, initially considered merely technical or formal, impose on content development. These include the narratives and the poetic possible worlds in which they unfold.
