I think I'm going to do a mix. As per rth's suggestion below, I'm going to embed a few things in the initial LJ posting (and subsequent AO3 entry, as well). The map, the song... these happen to the things I want the readers to think of as part of the story, that they cannot do without.
But I do also have a few other things, notes and research, that probably will just end up in a post on my LJ. Supplemental material that I can prepare ahead of time and just post when the NBB is released. Maybe tag a link from ff.net and such.
And then the extra stuff, maybe a little commentary and my organizational charts... well, I may post, I may not. Those will be more about the process and less about the story. Those will probably end up being a separate LJ entry, posted long after the fact, I think. This should work, no?
And yes! I'd love to exchange beta services! Reading your beta sign-up entry, there may be *one* chapter which is borderline that you may want to skip (kinda smutty, more comic relief than anything, will definitely put some people off, though.) But it's not essential to the plot.
Hooray! I'll keep you updated on my progress... and feel free to throw anything at me whenever. I'm OK with getting it in pieces or all at once. Whatever you'd like!
