The thing is that the teen whom the story follows is the main character, in the next chapter, you will see more and more characters added, anyways, about the spacing, I really do not want to add too many line breaks, I honestly want it to be a more challenging read than other fics. With this in mind, I think that doubling the number of line breaks would be enough to be the best of both worlds. |

While I admit I have not read your fic yet I will say this. Making it a 'challenging read' won't help you much, as people will just give up reading it if they find that it's not properly spaced and it's not clear. You have to bare in mind that not everyone is an amazing reader. So it's always best to keep you stories nicely spaced and clear, that it's easily readable and more people (Hopefully) will read it, or at least won't give up. |

I agree with AndyMay, it's not a wise idea to make it technically hard to read. Line breaks and shorter paragraphs are essential because otherwise it's easy to lost track at the end of each line (unless you use your index finger, like a kid, but who does that on a computer screen or a tablet?). Plus, I don't know about starting a story without any of the main characters from the fandom, I mean why would anyone start to read it without them? |

I never said that I want it to be difficult to read, there are hundreds upon hundreds of fics that have a 1 to 1 ratio of lines to breaks, there are others that are a few sentences per paragraph, That is what I meant, to make it more challenging to read than those, and those fics comprise most of the ones made, That- is what I mean. Why would I not include them? because then it would be like any other fic, just because the series main character's are not introduced within the first chapter, or even the first paragraph, it does not mean that the story is not worth reading or rubbish, so don't judge a book by it's cover. |

Look, I am sorry for being defensive over my work, I am taking your suggestions into account, about the line breaks, I see where you are coming from, It may be too hard for the demographic, and I am taking precautions to make it easier for people to read. But one of your suggestions struck me as more of a statement than a suggestion, and that statement got me into that defensive phase, of course I will have critics I will have haters, and I will have fans, Though to me that is basically saying "Why would anyone read your Fic, it does not have any of the main characters one chapter in" and I don't mean to be protective, actually I am open to suggestions, so I hope we are on the same page now, I just don't want people thinking bad of me.

Hey guys Seeing as you seem to know what you're talking about could you check out the Brothers in Arms collaborative fanfic? http://forums.berksgrapevine.com/topic/10238568/1/ If you have any tips/comments/criticisms please share The first chapter is split into five scenes. and it mostly consists of introductions for original characters, so there's a little plot per scene but in Chapter two there's more of an overall plot involving an original villain Please tell me what you think... Here or on the fanfic's thread thanks :p Edit: being ignored is just tops.... :L |

Sometimes I get annoyed how people really only want to write "What if Hiccup ran away" or "Watching the series" or even "Truth or Dare stories". I mean does no one have originality anymore??/ |
