Author's notes
Painting With WordsAuthor's notes or A/N's are quite common in the community of asianfanfics. However, some people tend to erm... misplace these little, cute, and sweet notes!
An Author's note should beong at either the beginning of a chapter or at the end of one. If you were to place an A/N in the middle of a chapter, it disrupts the flow of the story, and not to mention, it's quite distraction to have one appear out of no where.
If you want you readers to listen to music whilst reading the piece, then place your author's note at the top with the suggested songs.
Example:
I feel really sick, like I'm about to puke. I feel my feet go numb and I listen to the squelching coming from inside my shoes as I trudge towards my vehicle.
I sigh and rest my body onto the hood of the car, glaring at the dark heavens before me. "Merry damn Christmas to me."
When I arrive back at my place, I feel emptier than ever. I feel terrible. Not bothering to strip myself of my clothes, I kick my shoes off and slide under the covers. At least the bed offers me some sort of warmth. (A/N: OMONA HE DIDN'T! PLAY THIS SONG NOW, CLICK!)
Now, do you see how an author's note can disrupt the whole flow of a chapter? It's kind of like pokemon; BAM! A WILD AUTHOR'S NOTE APPEARS! So remember, A/N's belong to the beginning and the end of a chapter!
