One of the authors I follow would post a link to a "suggested listening" song at the beginning of their story/chapter. She then managed to rickroll all her readers, at least once, but still, you could try that?

[(Anonymous)]

This is what I'm doing for my series. I'll leave notes at the top or the bottom of the chapter to mention which song would be playing on the radio at the time, or mention it specifically in the text:

"Mark hummed along to the baseline of Smoke on the Water to give himself something to occupy his brain with while he waited."

[loracarol]

That's also a good way to do it.

(Not that you do this, I was just reminded)

I know that you can put hyperlinks in for AO3 (at least, I think you can?) But IDK if I'd recommend it myself. I can't speak for everyone, but it throws me out of the story. :/

8tracks playlists can also be used, though, and I'd think it fun if an author had made such a mix for the reader to listen to. :o

[silverr]

Yes, you can include hyperlinks; in the notes use [a href="URL of song"]name of song[/a]" type format
(replace the [ with < and the ] with > )

[loracarol]

Yeah, I knew I'd seen them! They were sort of helpful? Because it was an MCU fic where the fashions were described in detail, but I had no idea what anything looked like, but on the flip side, it was a bit distracting.

Could just be me, though.

[silverr]

The pictures were distracting, or the descriptions?

[loracarol]

The links. I would have liked it better if it had been a series of links in the authors notes, I think.

[silverr]

Oh weird - they were embedded in the fic? (Huh, if they did that, they should have just used the tag and put the picture itself in.) (But then I can't imagine the description of an article of clothing being THAT essential. :p)

The only time I think it makes sense for a link to be in the preface rather than the afternotes is when the fanwork is written about a particular work (e.g., painting or sculpture or song) that you'd want the reader to look at or listen to before reading.

[loracarol]

Yep. I don't know why either. |D

Yeah, I can see that. I don't mind either way, mood music can be fun, but sometimes it's fun to read it first, then get to the "btw, bonus!" and reread the chapter with the new knowledge.
