This first one is about low-level D&D in the underdark. The next will be about Military Sci-Fi. So, the chances of recurring characters is slim. Still, others told me the same thing you did.

I suffer from the same problem and know it's something I need to work on. I started to write a short story about the discovery of FTL travel and it ended up as a 48,000 word novella :),<br /><br />Having put several short stories into our zine, the best one were the ones that just got right to it. I'd say just jump into the "Journey" and fill in details as you go. That way you only put in the ones that are necessary. Plus if you're going to do more pieces with the same characters over future issues, you can always flesh them out more with each story.Tom Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280708969464181482noreply@blogger.com
