@sarah: I never said I wasn't thinking about that one when I made my post.  ;D But just like with whisper I didn't want to influence Kriss' creativity so I left my sentence standing there as it was - ready to be interpreted any way a reader wants. @kriss: Awwww, you started the first chapter? That's GREAT! And as for titles ... hummm, double surprises doesn't work. What about ... "finding home"? I mean, with starting a family with Maeve Sinbad does find home with her in some way. And if Bryn is going to find happiness with someone, too, the title can also work with her. I mean, just like it was said in one of those beautiful lyrics I so like: "Home is where your heart is aching for ..." Or, if you that doesn't fit your story, then what about "a new life"? Or you could also simply name it "Marina" if you're starting off at a point where Maeve is already being pregnant or even a mother already. Or what about "little wonders/miracles"? That one would fit the baby plot. I don't know what I'm going to do with Bryn yet. And I'm wondering about making Doubar and Bryn couple Well, since Mody already brought it up: me likes that idea, too. *blushes, smiles shyly* *tilts head to Bryn* Sorry, little one, but I simply grew to like that couple. *shrugs apologetically* |

@doubar Yes, I started and since my math teacher is sick and I don't have so many homeworks as usually, I think you will be able to read frist chapter soon I write it like it would be beginning of 3season, if you ask me about time. It's evening after "Hell house", so Marina has around 3moths. I like your idea "Little miracles". It's cute |

Just one question....the info beside your second vid says that Maeve and Sinbad aren't so in love as before when Bryn sees them again.....and then further down in the same paragraph it says they are in love.... It's not like that I meant that when Bryn saw them sometime later Maeve and Sinbad already was married couple and they didn't act like love birds how they'd used to when they were young(just after finding each other). But they still really love each other. |

it doesnt matter how long a chapter should be. but a 1/2 page and up is good for starters. My first chapter is not very long at all.

@kriss: Aye, of you have a look at the other stories you'll notice that there are some with rather long chapters and others with rather short ones. The lenght really doesn't matter all too much; instead I think it's more important whether the chapter itself works nicely. |

Yea, the length really isn't a problem either way, but for me, I usually go for at least 6 pages....it's a even keel for everyone!

Bt the way: Guys, how long one chapter should be? Usually I try to keep the chapters about 2000-3000 words. But for Maeve's first chapter of Three Days, it was really, really short. I like to write until the next big thing comes up, like "He reached for her face and gently lifted it out of the water. He could not believe his eyes. It was Rumina." or "She took a deep breath before she began." I often stick to when it feels good to end, like "And for the first time, he thought he saw a light in Rumina’s eyes." A change in scene could signal an ending, like "After they were gone, Sinbad walked to the railing. He stared out into the sea. “I hope I am doing the right thing,” he whispered and closed his eyes before leaving to join Firouz below." or "Rumina just watched Sinbad and Firouz leave, wondering what the hell was going on." All these were from my story Through the Trees. Hope this helps.  |

@sarah: Good examples there. And when you are looking at the fanfic version of our rpg, Kriss, you will find that we're doing the same here. |

In the fanfic of the rpg, you seem to separate chapters when scenes change, such as chapter 1 was on the Nomad and chapter 2 was in Rumina's lair. Then chapter 3 went back to the Nomad and was separated based on the timeline and where the crew started new threads.
