In my story "Demon Animus", my first chapter is an excerpt. I was not entirely sure I wanted to continue the story, but I had a lot of support and kind words left behind. However. . . My currently issue is do I remove the excerpt entirely? Or should I edit that 'chapter' with an authors note stating it was once an excerpt and now that the story is written, to just continue onwards. I feel having the excerpt as my chapter 1 confuses people.

Frankly, I was undecided about letting it stand as a chapter in the first place, since we don't allow "teaser" chapters here. I've spent the last couple days mulling it over, since it really doesn't belong as part of the story and could, under our rules, be considered a lengthy author's note type of thing.

I would be ever-so-happy if you would consider removing it, please?

Ah!! thank you! I was really unsure. I didn't know what to do hahaha.
I've removed the Excerpt chapter.~!

Thank you so much!

And, if you ever have questions, don't hesitate to contact me or another Admin. I have been really busy lately, so I'm behind on my messages, but I *will* get back to everyone eventually!

Ah thank you once again for your sweet and kind words. I shall definitely ask questions with little hesitance next time!

Oh~ I totally know what you mean SuWan! I had a prologue for my story "Kingdom Walls" and a lot of the readers were confused as to what it was. I put an authors note to say that it was a metaphor for the entire story. I stuck to keeping it because it was needed as references to some of the chapters and the end (kinda like a foreshadow). So if the excerpt is really important for the entire story...then I would say add an authors note.
Hope this helps
