Every now and then, I check on my story statistics. Lately, I've checked more often, and I'm gratified that folks continue reading my stories with total downloads now over 800,000. Now, I'm not sure how that is calculated, but Golly Gee, that's still a heckuva lot more than I ever expected when I started posting almost exactly seven years ago.
Back then, I titled/numbered my stories THE Harem Tales so readers would be able to follow a timeline, and I wouldn't have to reintroduce characters from story to story. I departed from that practice once central characters changed and members of THE Harem became mostly supporting actors. As I write, I continue to position the new stoies in a sequential timeline.
So a question for you folks: Should I go back and re-title my stories to indicate the best reading order. Maybe, just Make them all Harem tales? Or should I just leave it be?
I could make a sub-universe within The Swarm Cycle, but I'd still need to do something about reading order.
Target date for adding The Beard? Not sure. Maybe June.
