Bewildered

[wiseheart]

People really amaze me sometimes. I got this very positive, detailed and long review for Atlantis Café, and the person who wrote it favourited the story and put it on their alert. So far, so good. I was pleased and flattered.

But: they mentioned that I jump tenses in the story. Yes, I do. I expressly state so in the A/N in before each chapter in which it happens. I also declare that it's done consciously and with a reason. (Namely that all events happening in Atlantis are written in present tense and all things happening back on Earth, especially in Cardiff, are written in past tense.)

Do people never read Author's notes? *shakes head*

I think most people don't read author's notes. Sometimes, I don't do so either because if I'm reading a multi-chaptered story in one go, I don't want to get "pulled out of the story" by them.

Well, duh, I put up a warning before each chapter where I switch tenses, one would think that they should have noticed at least one of them.

I ignore A/Ns when the author chats about their private life and stuff too. But my notes usually serve the purpose to prevent stupid questions. Of course, if people don't read them, they would ask stupid questions.
