So, I've been tweaking chapter 1 of DRAGOONS recently and an ideal opted into my head: Should I move Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 and write something else for Chapter 1?
Here's the idea I had:
At the beginning of the current Chapter 1, Selena is celebrating her "Day we found you washed up on the beach during a hurricane" party with her friends when Zephyr and Monsoon (The two treasure hunters who first found her and are her surrogate parents of sorts) explaining that the two have to leave her for another treasure hunting trip. Flash forward a few weeks and Selena is wondering where they have gone given that it seems that they disappeared on their trip without a trace, CUE MAIN PLOT!
This got me thinking: Would it instead be better to have the first chapter be about Selena's relationship to Zephyr and Monsoon so that their disappearance in Chapter 2 would have more impact? (Maybe even have the birthday scene be the final scene of chapter 1 and have chapter 2 open with Selena wondering where they went?)
What do you guys think? I know I'd have to come up with a plot for that new Chapter 1 that isn't just a montage of random events focusing on Selena's relationship with the people who found her, so that would be something to work on in the mean time....
Here's a poll on what I should do. Everyone loves random polls, don't they?
Which story option should I go with?
- Keep Chapter 1 as Chapter 1
- Do the other idea for Chapter 1 and have Chapter 1 be Chapter 2 now
