I personally prefer reading author's notes when they're at the end of a chapter,,,,because i'd probably have something to say about them? and reading them BEFORE the actual chapter might make it harder for me to mhhhdhdhd answer(??) I AT EXPLAINING THINGS but i'd probably forget about the message/what I had to say by the end of the chapter ,, without giving the writer's comment as much importance as i wanted to ;;; or on the other hand i might pay less attention to the story itself!!


But i alwaysalwaysalways read Authors' Notes ;; wherever they are ;;

It depends on the reason for the note for me.
- if the note is something to keep in mind about that chapter, maybe put it first
- if it's something else, the end of the chapter is better
