I have a story half-written, but that's okay, 'cause I was planning on posting it in chapter format anyway. But I *do* have a question regarding the pace of my story, as it is pretty slow.
See, I like a lot of character development. Making characters seem believable is important to me if any of the events thereafter are to seem just as believable, and I also think it enhances the emotional aspect of the overall piece.
On the other hand, I'm sure the majority of the readers of the library prefer some development, so long as it gets into the main element of the story (bdsm!) fairly immediately. Well, my story doesn't do that - and my question is, do you think that will affect its appreciation?
Should I warn potential readers that this story is sloooow?
There is a sex scene in the first chapter, but it's all consensual and non-kinky. Chapter five is where everything comes to a head.
Your input would be appreciated, community!
