Though the chapters I have posted in my journal will be changed, I was wondering: does the method of how it begins - a gradual introduction of each character, how they came to be the crew, get the ship, etc - work? Should I go with a gradual intro or do something that has the story jump into the action (maybe they were a patrol ship for another quadrant or they were the crew of a fighter promoted to Border Patrol?)
I'm wondering which might be more preferable. I know how I would handle it if I went the "jumping into the action" route. Matt would be saved by the BD crew, then the start-story would be him joining the crew when they transfer over to the Void. Loyalty and relationships would already be established to a degree, which means with each book we see those relationships change - making them grow stronger or grow apart. With the gradual intro, we'll be able to see the loyalty and relationships grow and change from the start.
Chances are good that I'll stick with the gradual intro since I already have it written, but I'm still curious to hear what you all think, and I am willing to start over.
