Specifically, I want to know about whether or not it's okay to start at a point that gives a little bit away. In my story, the main character gets captured and that's the point I want to start at and then flashback. Is this okay, considering you then can learn why she gets captured and don't know what will happen as a result of it, or does it lessen the tension of the rest of the story because you know she is going to be captured?
