[[Wildbow]] has not been known to use the same character more than once as the subject of an interlude, unless they have gone through a major personality shift. Interludes are almost always important to the main storyline: intricacies to the setting are revealed, agendas are elucidated on and numerous other things are revealed. Interludes can feature characters whom Wildbow considered using as protagonists for the work, and as such they are very detailed and have interesting backstories rather than simply being plot dispensers.

Spoiler warning!
This article contains plot details about an upcoming episode.

Interludes are chapters narrated from the point of view of a character other than the primary protagonists. They generally occur at the end of each arc, and occasionally further interludes are included mid-arc (sometimes as rewards for reaching a donation milestone). With the exception of diary entries, interludes are normally written in third person perspective, even in Pact which is primarily written in first person perspective.

Wildbow has not been known to use the same character more than once as the subject of an interlude, unless they have gone through a major personality shift. Interludes are almost always important to the main storyline: intricacies to the setting are revealed, agendas are elucidated on and numerous other things are revealed. Interludes can feature characters whom Wildbow considered using as protagonists for the work, and as such they are very detailed and have interesting backstories rather than simply being plot dispensers.

Some of the interludes in Pact contain excerpts from textbooks, diaries, notebooks, etc. In Pale, such material is published in the form of Extra materials, and interludes are used exclusively for narrative content.
