I'm going to write it more or less like a sit-com. The individual books will stand on their own, but references will be made to events from past books. What I'm trying to do now is decide whether I want the overall arc of the series to be character-driven or plot-driven. Right now I'm leaning towards character-driven. Kind of like the Fletch series by Gregory McDonald.

Does anyone have any suggestions on writing a series of novels? How much of my character's past should I reveal in the first book? Should I sandbag some of my characters skills/abilites for later books? What pitfalls might I encounter?
