So I'm having a dilema with a WIP. It's a YA urban fantasy with the usual vamps, weres, etc. The issue is that in the beginning of the story I have to first explain why the mc is in his predicament and then I have to explain all the different races. And I don't see how I can do this without some major infodump...
The predicament isn't too much of a problem, since it's done in a sort of flashback with dialogue and stuff, so even though it's a lot of information all at once, I hopefully handled it well.
The problem is the explaination of the different races. I basically just have to go throw and explain all of them because I can't think of another way to get all the information in. And things like that continue to pop up and i can't figure out how to fix it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or maybe this kind of mass information really isn't so terrible... ???
