prologues (another perspective)

I want to toss this out before this becomes about rules…

The question asked for an opinion. I shared my preferences. I am, though, well aware there are readers who live for epic fantasies that begin with an equally epic prologue that explains the world.

They aren’t necessarily my audience.

But they are AN audience, a legitimate audience needing authors.

I've my own niche & won't disrespect another.

I personally think there's room for all types of audiences and writing. The more the merrier. 😀 
 @7b682b86 Not a fan of prologues, but there are great ones I’ve read where I think, “Prologue is necessary.” It is an audience and when well written it makes a difference.
