Re: Question for the hive mind.....

[(Anonymous)]

It would depend what that 10,000 words consists of. It seems like a long while to wait until they actually even meet for the first time. My first assumption on reading this is that it's probably a lot of exposition that could be woven into the story when or after they meet. But as I say, that's just an assumption, and it's hard to give a definitive opinion without knowing what you've done in those 10,000 words.

It's not exposition, it's...here is this person's life for a bit and how it suddenly and violently changes. Said change being the only way character a would meet character b.

Is it backstory? Because backstory could conceivably be that long and still be interesting, so long as things are happening.

That said, unless you're planning for your big bang to be like 50K, the story could be pretty unbalanced. A long build up followed by instant!romance is what some of those stories usually end up looking like, and it's jarring (and annoying.)

It's backstory/this is how this person lives and then violent!change!!

No insta-romance, as i hate that, so probably it will be balanced as far as numbers go.

Re: Question for the hive mind.....

Then that sounds perfectly fine to me. :) But I'm probably not the type of reader you need to worry about, because I read every long story I come across.

I'm hoping most readers are 'you' kind of readers, since its for a Big Bang and those tend to more narrative/plot than smut, anyway.
