The Spoiler-Free Guide to Reading Fifth Millennium Online - draft 1.2

Submitted by Karen on Tue, 09/28/2010 - 18:55

This is the method for reading my and Shirley Meier's current Fifth Millennium weblit works with minimum plot spoilers. Jump back and forth between the works in the order set out below and you won't learn too much of anything before it happens.

Note, the Spoiler-Free Guide is still beta. Shirley and I did the work but readers Michael Thedford and Lightdefender also generously volunteered to read their way through it for errors, and they have not finished yet. If you have ideas for better order or navigability, send me a private message.

Step 1: Do not even go near asa kraiya, yet. It is Spoilpocalypse.

Step 2 (Each link goes to first mentioned post only - navigate within the story until you get to the end post of that line, then hit the next link):
