    Totally important part of the plot of story. Without obstacles and villains the story is just not interesting enough!

  19. Novellas Good or Bad??
    I think if they are done before the series has been released they are good or if it a follow up to start off a new series for a secondary character.
    When they are put in between each book in a longer series, esp. a series that has been out for a while, it can get confusing and really hurt the story structure.
    But that's just my opinion 8)
