I'm curious...

Does anyone read the footnotes we put in the stories?
I'm only asking because in the footnotes for the second chapter of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Touring were links to MP3s of original music we created for Wakaba Girls. And no one has commented on them in the week they've been up. In fact, no one has even responded to my explicit query about people's reactions in the story thread.

I do. I flip back and forth from the footnotes while going through the stories.
For the Wakaba Girls music my reaction was "I am in reading mode now, I will come back to those later." Then I forgot about them. Mea culpa.

I also tend to read the footnotes and if I still have questions use them to provide direction for where to find more information.

While many of our footnotes are informational, some of them are more Pratchettian in tone and purpose.

Such as "I don't mean Antoine of Flatbush!" in a certain upcoming story. <grin>
