When I write stories
1st chapter is boring
2nd chapter is mysterious
3rd chapter is a slowdown and flshing out of things and fourth chapter is where the plot gets kicked into full gear.

But thats just me.

my guide lines are:
1st chapter - usualy a prologue to add mystery to one or more characters or to make the reader start to question certain things.

2nd chapter - an introduction to some of the main characters, but not all.

3rd chapter - the situation of the character's world and an event.

4th chapter - depends on the story that i'm working on - it varies.

the rest of the plot/characers/character's pasts/worlds predicement take a while to unravell, but for me, most of it is told after 100 A5 pages or so...

That's pretty orderly. Not to oknock it or anything but I like a little spontaneousness things. Your main character could be assisted by the antagonist in the very first chapter and just pass it off as a chance encounter and meet him later like "OMG I NOEZ HEEM."
