I think that I'm sort of tending towards a compromise at this point--a short prelude that sets the world a little, and then devoting the rest of the chapter to 'current' events, and letting the rest of the information get filtered in as the characters start gathering and figuring out what they need to be doing.
I think my problem is that I keep writing part of the prelude, and then sit back and read it and decide it's total shite...so I go back, rewrite it...and it still reads like total shite, at least to me....
