[1712] A Raven Plays With Foxes - Ch. 1
Hi Folks, I rethought my previous submission, starting in a totally different place. I had posted that knowing that I didn't like those chapters - they were bland and factual and not really from the MC's perspective. I've been reading a lot of other fiction from a writing perspective, getting an idea for what I like and how writers handle dialogue, narrative, exposition, and thinking about how they craft stories.
So, this is an attempt to start in a place that lets the reader ease into the world a bit, develop the character, and lead into the inciting incident instead of packing that all into a small space or referring to it as a past event.
Happy to hear your thoughts on how it is working.
Genre: Fantasy-Cyberpunk (ala Shadowrun, Bright)
Setting: Imagine if a typical D&D-type world developed into a high-tech cyberpunk dystopia
POV: 3rd Limited
