Continuity

Continuity refers to the harmonious flow of stories within a specific chronological sequence in a story series. This can occur when stories within a series are written in a serialized manner, with one episode's events directly or indirectly leading into another episode's events. This can also occur when self-contained stories are written within a specific chronological sequence, pointing to specific stories as markers within that continuity where new characters are added, or existing characters are changed or die off, or events take place that alter what happens from that point onward with the characters.
