Are We Bad Parents

by HyperPixel357

The Loud Family: Despite all the fighting, the chaos, and the loudness, the people Royal Woods know that the family loves each other. But after everything the siblings and parents did over the years, how can people still think that this family is functional or loving? Lynn Sr. and Rita must answer the question: Are We Bad Parents?

3. Update 2

Happy New Year! Yes, know this is late but since it is still January this still counts for me. At this point, I have been spending so much time on the first chapter but it is not completely done yet due to other responsibilties in my life such as school and work. However, I was thinking I could divide each chapter into around 5 parts, in fact for each Loud kid I want there to be 5 parts. As a reminder here is the plot structure for my fanfic:

---

Intro (conversation Lynn Sr./Rita has with each parent before the interviews)

Beginning (Jerry talks about the day the Loud parents leave for the show in depth)

Main Point 1

Main Point 2

Main Point 3

Middle (address the conversation parents had with other parents while in the studio before the interview starts)

Main Point 4

Main Point 5

Main Point 6

Ending (How each parent's past and their experiences affect their feelings/thoughts/parenting for each child (based on one and one conversations)

Armor Piercing Question and total death/endangerment count

I don't want long waits for each character with all talking points so I wanted to divide all of this into parts so I can give you more chapters faster. Hopefully the flow of each character's points won't be interrupted.

The choice is to have the interviews about each child be divided into 5 parts which will lead to a longer fic overall but more frequent uploads; have each part released together but less frequent uploads; or a compromise between the 2. However if you want a compromise between the 2 you have to explain what I should do via the reviews or PM me.

The pacing for this fic is important so I want to make sure the decision I make will be good for the pacing.

I will make a poll that will be available to see on my fanfiction profile within 5 minutes after I post this chapter, so people can decide on what I should do.

The 5 parts in question will be will be divided as the following:

---

Part 1

Intro (conversation Lynn Sr./Rita has with each parent prior to the interviews)

Beginning (Jerry talks about the day the Loud parents leave for the show in depth)

Main Point 1

Part 2

Main Point 2

Main Point 3

Part 3

Middle (address the conversation parents had with other parents while in the studio before the interview starts)

Part 4

Main Point 4

Main Point 5

Part 5

Main Point 6

Ending (How each parent's past and their experiences affect their feelings/thoughts/parenting for each child (based on one and one conversations)

Armor Piercing Question and total death/endangerment count for each Loud child

Tell me how I can rearrange it via reviews and also what you think about this change via reviews. I will have the chapter and poll open by January 22, 2024. The good news is that I have "Lori (Part 1)" completed now so if all goes well after the reviews and poll I will have that part of the chapter out by January 27, 2024 or earlier depending on reviews/poll results. And once the chapter is out I really hope people give me feedback on how the story will move going forward.

Until Next Time
