What About Action Stories?

Take note of anything that feels repetitious. Are the characters being put in the same situation too many times? Do they do the same thing to resolve the issue too often? Are there slow areas where nothing really happens? Scenes where it's all explanation? Are there chains of scenes that don't raise the stakes?

Chapter 1: this is what i needed! i'm trying to work on an action fic but i've never write story in that genre which makes it harder for me. Thanks for making a tutorial/workshop like this ^^

Chapter 1: Oh I'm stalking this! I'm currently planning a action fic too! Actually the outline, character info everything is more or less out. But I'm going to read this and take some advice. :) Even with just the planning, I actually had a lot of fun with it. Maybe it's because I'm finally really putting this idea of mine down. Because mine is more of a secret agent/double identity kind of thing, I researched more on the system than the weapons.. maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm still at my planning stage so I'm going to see how this workshop can help me! ^^
