This will be the extended Author’s Notes for a story that hasn’t been published yet. The extended Author’s Notes will be the equivalent of the author notes in the last few pages after a novel is finished. I’ll update this post with the extended Author’s Notes a little before the story is published.
Over a dozen times I’ve posted extended Author’s Notes for a story in the Story Feedback forum. I occasionally get a question about what I’m doing. I’ll try to save time by answering those questions now:
* I’m posting the extended Author’s Notes now because I want to have a link in my story to them. The only links you can have in a LitE story is to something on the LitE site
* Someone suggested I post the extended Author’s Notes after the story is published and then post the link to it as a comment. There are two problems with that: (1) a lot of readers don’t read comments and I want all readers to see the link to the extended Author’s Notes and (2) it’s not unusual for my stories to get over one hundred comments, so my comment with the link will likely get lost among the other comments
* I’m posting the extended Author’s Notes in the Story Feedback forum because I am hoping readers will leave comments about the story after they’ve read them
