| Topic | Why don't writers use longer time skips? |
| LeCh0nk 04/27/24 12:54:11 PM #23: | Time skips, and their length, need to make sense narratively. A five year time skip works if you want to show your characters in a different phase of their lives, and how the events of the story prior effected them long term. If you still want them in the same phase of their lives (e.g. in school), you need it to be much shorter.
