writewild:The Narrative ArcQuestion, fanfic reading/writing friends. I realised when I looked at this in relation to my fanfic that chapter 1 IS my inciting incident. Now normally that might be a problem–establishing the routine is a good idea.However, it occurs to me that familiarity with the fandom establishes that routine for us. This isn’t an AU fic, so I don’t need to set up the new rules of the universe. I’m picking a canon point and diverging from the path, so everything the reader knows up to that moment will still be true.In that case, taking a chapter or two to follow this particular arc feels redundant to me. I’d be doing nothing but regurgitating what the reader already knows.Am I right? Or do I need to write a new chapter 1? -- source link
