lengthy slow burn readers and writers I've gotta know: what even happens in the story after a slow burn goes over a certain length
#babbling#anything from 50-150k is an amount that i think counts as slow burn without going so long I'd begin to wonder what's going on in there#when i say a certain length im talkin like 200k+#I am curious though. the slow burn* story I'm writing rn is currently about 20k and a little under halfway done#and i feel like I'm being quite indulgent with it too since it's just personal writing** I'll probably never share with anyone#i spent 1000 words describing making soup and elaborating on the history of kitchenware#but when it's past the 200k mark what's happening?#is it B-plots? is it character study interludes? is it lovingly developing the platonic relationships as well as the romantic ones?#or is it romance-foreward and the burn is Genuinely That Slow#if that's the case power to you. but I alas don't have the patience#footnotes:#*i dont know if it legally counts as a slow burn if you have gay sex in the second chapter#the developing relationship and admitting their romantic feelings to themselves and getting together part is slow tho#**it's the elaborate backstory of two characters that exist in my dnd homebrew world#that my players won't meet until over the halfway point in the campaign#if at all depending on their choices#but they exist in the world as characters who are relevant to a significant NPCs backstory#and i couldn't get them out of my head. so here i am
