In a series of works, an interquel is a narrative that portrays events that are chronologically set in the time frame between two previously published works that sparked its creation, being the sequel to former work and the prequel to the latter work, which was previously the sequel to the former. The former is usually published before the latter, but the reverse is true in some cases. The term was coined after prequel, pre- meaning before and inter- meaning between. Interquels are often used to supplement an existing universe without creating problems in continuity, as is the case in which a novel is set in a universe whose canon is primarily defined by a television series or movie. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
