Consequences: Where Should I Go From Here? · 4:14am Nov 25th, 2020
So, at this point in the story, I can go one of three different directions, depending on who I want to focus on. And I'm not sure which to do first.
So I'll throw it open to you guys... and no, you can't say "Do all three in one big chapter." That's not how this works.
So, from where we're at right now, should I:
A) Follow up with Stormking and Tempest after Sunset leaps out the window.
B) See what the girls were up to with Frank while Sunset was mind melding with Stormking and Tempest.
or C) Follow Sunset after she leaped out the window.
What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.

I say option B.
I would say C
I say a mix of B and C.
I vote for Option B, followed by A and C in no particular order.
I say B, then A, then C.
C sounds good to me.
I vote C.
Maybe B and C?
Definitely voting for B, then A and C.
I vote for B as first choice. My second choice would be A and my last one C.
A
B is good
That’s a tricky question because each path will have important information in it. However I would wager A and C are more important.
A because you have the aftermath of agents of storm getting what exactly what they wanted. And the storm king reacting to a protietal betrayal of Tempst after being outsmarted by a Teenager and tempst questioning everything
However C is also important because it is following sunset and how she escape with or without the girls.
Right now I vote A because that’s the critical one.
And also sunset doing stuff you just have to have other react to it. And since it was already going that way do A
Here is a question for you. Do you know truly why flashbacks have a big following and is in most shows, comic, books, movies and fanfiction? ( there is a legitimate reason for them ;)
Can you guess?)
Personally, I want to keep going with Tempest (A) as that is what drew me to the trilogy in the first place, but objectively, the last few chapters have leaned heavily towards (A) and we've now learned something substantial about Glitter. So I say let that rest for a bit and follow Sunset (C) as that would balance things out. I dislike (B) because that mindmeld was shown to only last a few seconds, which would make for a rather short chapter.
Ultimately, it's your story; It's your choice. Go for whichever comes naturally, whether that's one of the listed above, a mixture, or even something else entirely.
Personally, I'd go with A, though I assume you're going to cover the other two in other chapters.
I think B first, and then A or C in different chapters.
If I had to I would say it depends on which one is going to best heighten tension at this point, although I personally have no idea which one that could be without more information.
I would like to see something dramatic and then cut away to something less so (and on and on) so that we have a gradual falling action as opposed to a rapid shift in tone.
Still it's your story so if that doesn't work for what you have planed, that's fine. My experience however, is that a cliffhanger in a story that cuts away to a less dramatic scene will usually throw my experience for a loop.
