Where did you start reading my story?
15 years ago
General
For those of you watching me (most I would assume) that have read my story, how did you find it, and did you start reading at Chapter 1 and go from there, or did you start in the middle randomly?
I'm curious how careful I should be to make sure to include spoiler warnings on new chapters so people don't start reading out of curiosity, not realizing there is a bunch of 'stuff' that happened in the previous 30 chapters they now know all about.
I am one of those people that HATES spoilers and gets upset if I learn something ahead of time. But I know other people who are perfectly happy to read a book series completely out of order. Freaks! :)
So two questions I suppose.
How did you stumble onto my story?
And how did you read it, in order or skip around?
EDIT: And if you DID start in the middle, do you think you would have been interested if you found the first one instead?
Oh, thanks for reading and putting up with all my questions!

And I found it from Fortuna's fan art.

So.. thanks for reminding me.
to tell the truth, i was really shy XD i dont really read these things, but i enjoyed it so much i kept going.
im a good girl i swear it! x3
Enjoying a bit of fantasy escapism doesn't keep you from still being a good girl.
Maybe I should only warn about it in chapters that have obvious spoilers since at least two people have started in the middle and didn't seem to have a problem with it.
Clearly though I don't make a big enough point about it being a series in the text or more people would notice I think. Would you have gotten into it if you had found the first chapter instead? (Hmm, going to add that to my questions in the journal entry)
The chapter that i read first was the dinner chapter, and it raised questions that made me want to read it from the start, some of which i wouldn't have had had i started at the beginning though. Things like "Who is this dragon, why does he have the slaves, how did he obtain them, are the stallions his too?" granted some of this was answered as I read. As i went back and the questions were answered, it was 'How is it going to get to this point?'
I'm not really big on skipping through a chapter that's staring me in the face to jump back to another one even if i had noticed, unless there's a way to go back to the others at the top, and that's a deal with FA formatting, not your text.
I was really engrossed with the second chapter though, i -loved- the whole tentacle pod event, it was really entertaining. *leans against and nuzzles.*
I went all the way to the begining, since it's very obviously chapters, to see if I liked the story
And here I am, always ecited when a new chapter goes up
I stopped updating my stories on yiffstar when they did the changeover to sofurry and it was so broken I couldn't get anything to work and gave up until they fixed it. Now I'm finally getting around to catching it up.
I'd never be so crude to suggest that poor mares in bondage was titillating. That would make me a bad dragon.
"Hmm... I'm bored again. Hey! I know! I'll read some pr0n. Something new this time? Yes. That sounds good... ~goes to FA and starts skimming through various story titles.~ Wow... This one has lots of chapters... Let's take a look at the first one and see how it looks. ~goes to creator and finds the first one and starts to read.~

~A few hours later is completely caught up with the submissions in order~
What?! NO! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!?! O.O!!
~grumbles and +watches then looks at the clock~ Damnit!
I was supposed to go to the store an hour ago. D:"
Yea... something along those lines! :D
Still loving the story. MOAR-PLZ! 8D
Simply imagining stuff in my head is WAY easier.
Makes me wonder if I should note stand alones that can be read first like that in my index journal.. if anyone ever reads that thing. It seems that most people find the stories using searches or browsing new submissions.
Thanks!
After that I did my usual; after reading the chapter to see if it was any good ( and cause I was curious about BDSM at that point :3 ), I went to chapter 1 and started there!
Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words.
Look for references to me in Chapters 12 and 28, by the way.
I hate spoilers too!
Anyway, when I started you only had a couple chapters posted and I started from chapter 1. I'm a bit of a completionist and possibly a tad OCD; I don't like starting things from the middle and I whenever I read a series I have to read them all in order. The beginning is the beginning; to start elsewhere is anathema to me.
