[Brainstorming]

[kalloway]

Welcome to the first 2015 Brainstorming Post! Feel free to use this space for any brainstorming needs you may have.

A couple of guidelines for this post--

• Everyone has a different opinion on spoilers and how long they stay spoilers before becoming public knowledge (Rosebud was his sled!) - if you are concerned with spoilers in your comments, feel free to use white-text, bumper comments, or whatever method you prefer.

• Nobody is under any obligation to use any suggestions made in this post or to credit any commenter if their suggestions are used (though perhaps if a long, productive exchange occurs, a short author's note might be nice).

• If you have any concerns with any content in the comments, please feel free to PM me.

(Basically, be good to one another. Happy Brainstorming!)

I think you've just hit the right idea in that last paragraph. This chapter, set in the capital world (since you have to do it now!) can throw your antagonist off balance and make him think, and also convey all the extra info you need to convey about the aliens in one fell swoop. You can explore his motivations and also create even more suspense about the aliens.

=D Sally forth to chapter 25!!
