Storybooks Question

I have a question!

How do storybooks usually read? That is, can you read it straight from one post to the next as if it were an actual book? Or would you say that you have to jump back and forth a lot?

It depends on the storybook! Some storybooks change point of view from character to character, while others in third person are just continuous. More often than not, I see character to character ones, and sometimes you do have to jump around to follow properly. Other times, (if the characters are all in the same place) it's easy to just read through it. It really depends on how the storybook is (or not ) organized.

Usually there is some sort of structure. Lately, a lot of storybooks have involved a group of people traveling from place to place, and they're rarely separated. So, in cases like that, it's really best to read from the beginning.

Second.

The smaller the group of characters, the easier it is to read from beginning to end. Sometimes too many writers over complicates a storybook and the chaarcters end up breaking into little groups and holding their own discussions and essentially plots.

It also depends on the writers' style of writing. If one writer's style is very different to the others it can sometimes break the flow.

Ah, nevermind then.

I think Nate is smart and did this on purpose. *theorizes*

True, true. I don't often participate in storybooks these days
(none with interesting subjects) but the best way is to have everyone
together.

As Kyte/Stori, I've had examples of good (Owl Wings) and not-so-good
(Typical Teens) storybooks.
