>>32263797>>32265172>>32266159Great to see that you guys are getting your fics done. I'm working on publishing my next chapters as well. Aiming to have some new stuff posted in the near future. Protector's final arc is almost finished and the story with Sneasel/Buizel is in its third draft. I'm likely going to develop the latter into a series for ongoing R&J antics and interesting plot reasons.
>>32264228>Hopefully people are at least still somewhat entertained by technical theory crafting and awkward conversations.This is a stylistic choice. Dialogue is an excellent way to break away from the narrative voice. Especially true you write a lot of descriptive details about the world. How your characters interact with others becomes an opportunity not to pass up even if it is awkward.
>a 20k chapter was a slog to read I get where you're coming from. Been there and have made it a general rule to not do it any more. There is usually a part where you could split up a chapter of that size. If you need help just ask someone to look it over and have them tell you where they think you should make an appropriate chapter break.
