#QuestionOfTheWeek Actioneers, it's time for our next question of the week! What do you think about inserting flashbacks or flashforwards during adrenaline-fueled action scenes? Can they land like a well-placed ornament on a christmas tree, adding just the right touch of context and tension? Let us know about it in the comments!
@action These can definitely enhance the action. A single line of a thought, a memory, something flashing through a person's head that explains or fuels their behavior, or that introduces doubt—it's a great way to add tension and improve characterization, too.

#QuestionOfTheWeek Actioneers, it's time for our next question of the week! What elements do you find most crucial for a gripping action scene? Is it the pacing, descriptive details, or character dynamics? Let us know about it in the comments!
@action For me, it's the pacing, and the careful techniques on how the author took his or her time to do such research. I've read some who really know how to write an action scene, much like if I saw the episode done onscreen.
