Extraordinarily busy, so I may be slow on the uptake et cetera (like, several months slow).
Any thoughts on the perfect chapter length would be sorely welcome.
I'd love a bit of feedback on this, and its effectiveness as a Prologue. It's only a couple of hundred words... *imploring face* (As you might gather, I'm rubbish at promoting myself.)

My name is Basil (or Baz - I don't mind which. Or even Bazzie if you're feeling extra-affectionate. If not, just 'that broccoli-gal' is fine).
I'm an introvert (I expect): ambitious, tenacious, often cynical (most people call me 'happy', but never mind them). Bonanza, borrasca...life will always be a mixture.
I have trouble in vocally articulating any item of personal testimony, just to let you know (or anything at all, for that matter). I'd much rather write it. And I do! Sorry if my comments become emotional brain-splurges. Yeah, so I'd love to talk to you, because you're amazing, but I'm afraid I'm not very good at it.
I'm a proud Roman Catholic (though some find that difficult to acquaint with my attraction for astronomical physics). I aspire that my writing is somewhat influenced by my ever-growing (I hope!) faith, but I'm not trying to directly impose upon those who won't be imposed upon. I force you into nothing. However, I warn you in advance that I will pray for you ALL, so be afraid!
Gorgeous and Mysterious (or Triangle) by GoldenEarthAngel is one of my favourite stories of all time - and not just on Protagonize. It is simply heart-throbbing, right up to and most especially the end. Yes, I cried. 'A romance in three parts, like the edges of a triangle, where every turn sharpens the blade, but wears out those who cling to it. That triangle of morals, wearing down.'
My profile got too long when I attempted to describe myself, so I've posted it in one of the works down there somewhere, and instead added a few (ha!) bullet points to illustrate my [favourite] hobbies, equipped with links to various written pages which may or may not make any sense to you in regard of my point. \/ \/ \/ (I rather think my profile is now longer than it ever was, but 'meh' to that.)
My Favourite Things/Hobbies Include:
REMEMBER: Don't worry about making a fool of yourself. If you're a clumsy potato like me, don't be afraid to trip up et cetera. It's better that people see your real always-making-a-fool-of-self so that they know what you're really like.
(Fortunately, I'm hypocrite enough never to follow my own advice.)
My Current WIPs [on Protag]:
[Some of] My Completed Works (they're all short, barring F+J):
The [Alive] Collabs in which I'm currently participating:
- Out of Aethyr (with Aoife.J.Sherwood, Artemisian and CrystalRose) - my first fantasy!
- A Sad Affair (with Nyxie)
- A Tale of Three Sisters (with Nyxie)
- With Her Glass-Chime Laugh (with SumnerzAngel)
- (There's plenty more I've participated in, and many which I love, but these are the only ones I'm still meaning to continue, unless anyone else revives the others. Lazy, am I, for not reviving them myself? Probably. I call it 'busy'.)
I may be unnecessarily dramatic. Or else unsatisfactorily undramatic. Sorry about that. When it comes to my writing, I'd be gratified to know where I go wrong - if, indeed, there is a 'right' and 'wrong' to anything.
