In general, do you prefer the beginnings of stories? Or the ends?
Beginnings. Often enough they are full of chances for characters and plots which the writer then uses or doesn’t, as the case may be. It’s exiting to meet either new characters and places, or old friends in the case of series. Beginning is also the place where, generally speaking, the main characters’ lives don’t suck, yet.
