I think the readers are a smart bunch and hate to be talked down to. so, beware of that pitfall. Perhaps filling them in at a pivotal moment so there's still some big reveal factor in play.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966097532659996793.post-55923852568785118912009-04-14T20:23:00.000-04:002009-04-14T20:23:00.000-04:00I go for letting the audience know.

Keeping secrets from readers are often cheap tricks, and if the audience knowing ahead of time ruins the story, then it's not much of a secret.ssashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527483283426518167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966097532659996793.post-46020420514073683942009-04-10T06:05:00.000-04:002009-04-10T06:05:00.000-04:00If you're using the 3rd-person O POV, I suggest po...If you're using the 3rd-person O POV, I suggest pouring on the dramatic irony. <BR/><BR/>If you're using 1st-person or 3rd-person L, and your MC is not the one with the secret, I suggest letting the readers find out the secret with the characters.Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031226145526664876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966097532659996793.post-39318660372740708212009-04-08T23:10:00.000-04:002009-04-08T23:10:00.000-04:00I can't answer your question very well.
