BigBang, author's notes, what have you

[ratherastory]

Okay, flist, I have a question.

Do you read the Author's Notes when they post them separately from their BigBang? Are you even remotely interested in them? I've seen it done a few times, and I myself am an avid reader of A/Ns, because I am a compulsive geek.

That being said, I can witter on for days about ideas and process and inspiration and all that. So I'm being all angsty and conflicted about whether or not to make a separate post with notes and the like, or if I should just keep it short and sweet in the master post.

Thoughts? Rotten tomatoes? Bueller?



In completely random news, my summergen is threatening to eat my brain. Whose bright idea was it to pick the crossover prompt? Oh, yeah. Mine.

My two cents, as a Big Bang reader: I kind of like a separate notes post. If I like a story, I always want to know a little more about what went into it, the process, the research, etc. And I don't want to read that before I read the story, even if it's not spoilery. I don't like to prejudice my reading of the text with ideas about the author or the mood before I get into it: I like to start as close to tabula rasa as I can get. But if I liked it I will definitely want to spend a little longer in the world and get to know more about the creation of it.

tl:dr - yes! post author's notes in their own entry!

All righty!

And yes, I agree entirely. I like reading author's notes, but afterward.
