prolog adalah perangkat narasi yang digunakan dalam novel, drama dan bentuk-bentuk tulisan. Ini pada dasarnya adalah sebuah pembukaan yang memberikan rincian latar belakang dan setting cerita.
dari prolog berguna untuk menerangkan atau membeberkan situasi. Prolog disusun dengan tujuan untuk membangkitkan minat pembaca terhadap novel yang ditulis.
Jika suatu cerita dimulai dengan prolog, maka harus diakhiri dengan epilog.
Siapa di sini yang merasa membuat prolog itu sulit?
Membuat prolog itu susah-susah gampang. Prolog sangat sensitif sifatnya dan menjadi kunci awal keberhasilan sebuah cerita.
Tanggung jawab penulis
1. (siapa pun yang kamu tunjuk sebagai seseorang yang kamu anggap krusial untuk diletakkan di prolog), buatlah pembaca menyukai dia.
2. (Waktu dan tempat).
3. dari keseluruhan cerita.
Perlu kamu tahu bahwa membuat prolog bukan kewajiban penulis.
itu adalah kesempatan untuk memulai ceritamu dua kali dari dua poin yang berbeda. Tergantung bagaimana kamu mengolah.
Bagaimana kamu tahu kalau prologmu sukses?
Coba jawab tiga pertanyaan ini (dalam hati)
1. Perlukah kamu menulis prolog?
2. Apa yang dilakukan prologmu?
3. Apakah yang dilakukan prolog benar?
Setelah kamu memikirkan jawabannya, cocokkan dengan kunci jawaban berikut ini:
1. Lihatlah terhadap ceritamu. Beberapa cerita memerlukan prolog, beberapa cerita tidak memerlukannya. Semuanya tergantung pada apakah yang ada dalam paragraf pertama. Kalau paragraf pertama kamu tulis langsung ke dalam cerita, maka sepertinya kamu tidak memerlukan prolog.
2. yang ada dalam prolog. Tidak semua prolog menggunakan karakter utama sebagai fokusnya. Kadang prolog bahkan tidak memerlukan karakter. Dengan hanya memberikan sebuah adegan secara dramatis dari bencana yang nantinya membuat cerita berjalan, seharusnya itu juga sudah cukup menarik.
3. Bisa jadi prolog mencapai sepuluh halaman atau bahkan cuma setengah halaman. Tidak ada larangan untuk menulis prolog sepanjang mungkin.
4. Misal kamu menceritakan sebuah bencana beberapa tahun silam, maka kamu bisa menulis dengan gaya seperti buku sejarah.

5. Prolog biasanya hanya berfokus pada satu hal, kejadian atau scene. Jangan sampai di tengah prolog, tiba-tiba kamu mengubah Point of View-mu.
Karena prolog ini adalah pintu gerbang dalam sebuah buku, maka ada beberapa peraturan yang harus kamu hindari:
1. Prolog sinopsis. Meski mereka menjelaskan bagaimana setting dan waktu novelmu secara general, menjelaskan seperti apa kronologis duniamu bekerja bukanlah hal yang menarik untuk dibahas di prolog.
2. Prolog juga tempat untuk show up. Membuat karakter menarik bisa dilakukan dengan banyak cara, tapi memperkenalkan diri ala diary dan memberikan keterangan apa saja kerennya karakter utamamu akan membuat pembaca langsung bosan dan lebih buruk lagi, berhenti membaca bukumu.
3. Hindari penulisan plot poin terlalu banyak. Tulislah cukup hal penting di prolog untuk membuat pembaca tertarik, namun jangan terlalu banyak. Ada beberapa hal yang lebih baik diungkap pelan-pelan daripada dibuka di prolog.
Nah, sekian
Pertanyaannya adalah
Prolog yang kamu buat menarik perhatian pembaca?
apakah ceritamu butuh prolog apa tidak. Jagan terlalu memaksakan diri untuk buat prolog.
Q1: Prolog anti-mainstream contohnya gimana?
A1: Prolog anti-mainstream? Tergantung ceritamu genre apa dan tentang apa. Bisa dimulai dengan ledakan di awal, konflik, atau tokoh antagonis yang berperan dalam prolog. Ciptakan akhir yang menggantung/bikin penasaran, sehingga pembaca bakal lanjut ke halaman berikutnya
Q2: Aku sering liat ada di novel sebuah cerita ada epilog tapi nggak ada prolog. Emang boleh ya begitu?
A2: Dasarnya, prolog kan sebuah pembukaan cerita, maka pasti ada penutup yg berisi akhir dari cerita, pesan2 moral, dsb. Prakteknya, sebuah cerita pasti membutuhkan epilog, karena tadi prolog bukanlah kewajiban penulis jadi tidak masalah sebuah cerita tanpa prolog tapi ada epilog.
Semoga materi yang dishare bermanfaat untuk para Fams yang membacanya.
Kritik dan saran kami terima dengan baik. Terima kasih 🙏

The Novel's Sidekick
Just because you can’t explain it, doesn’t make it a miracle. Something like that happened to Aaron, an introverted youth, who expected to live a normal, boring life. But it took a little for the expectation to go wrong. Who knew he would transmigrate into his favourite Web novel, Forbidden Realms? Waking up in the mysterious land, Aaron finds himself reincarnated as Scar, the loyal sidekick. But soon he found out it was not the only change. Magic still exists in Forbidden realms, with the blessing of the twelve heroes who had stood against the end of time in the sky-breaking, catastrophic war fifteen hundred years ago. Unfortunately, the end of time comes once again. From the bleeding moons in the broken sky, to the wind of the end that sweeps across the rocky terrain to the snow-filled land, all cry the foretell of desolation. Who will decide the fate of the Forbidden realms? The twelve heroes lost in the void of time. The Knights who lost half of their dominions. The order of Magi with broken high arts. The forsakers with their policy of non-intervention. Or the religious zealots and their dead God. Bearing the responsibility and knowledge imparted to him through the book, Scar unravels the mysteries shrouded in the pages of history and myth, while slowly developing his newfound powers and others to stand against the end of time. Follow Scar as he commands the ember in his heart, shouldering the love, hate, sorrow and frustration he never deserves, on his exciting journey to conclude the tale. _____________________ Special thanks to Mysteries (Editor) and kqwxz (proofreader) for showing enthusiasm in this book and working long hours along with me.

8 72Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021

Slimes are stupid!Annoying little pests that don't think about anything.How would they? They don't even have a brain.They don't even think about what they do, dissolving anything in their reach.That's worse than a beast acting on instinct, that's just following a program.A plague of mindless balls of goo.If it were up to me they should all get eradicated.At least that’s what I thought.Until my life was turned into a mess. Stupid slimes!
