Option to hide first lines from view - possible?

10 May 2016

The first lines of a story or poem are visible before the link is opened. This isn't always desireable, since anything with a low word count, such as some poetry, is fully visible to be read, but without its appropriate formatting. In other cases, a disclaimer has been put in place when the content of a story might be shocking to some readers, so that the first lines do not appear.

Would it be possible to have a setting so that an author could opt out of having the story preview shown? Or is it in place and I haven't come across it, which is not to be ruled out. Think

I don't remember what or when it was, but there has been a time or two when I'd wished for that option, so I'll add my tuppence in favour of the possibility, please. sunny

I am not sure if it is possible, but I am bringing it up to the other mods. Hopefully we can have an accurate answer for you soon.

Thank you very much for this input.

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Let me find out from Gav and get back to you.

“Many people hear voices when no one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.”

Little late to the party, I am, but I'd also like to see this. Would be mega handy for really tiny pieces of micro fiction and poetry.

Ghosts, flamingos, guitars and vodka. Eclectic subjects, eccentric stories:

Humorous guide & Recommended Read =^.^= How To Make a Cup of Tea
A flash fiction series :) A Random Moment in Time
Editors' Pick! :D I Am The Deep, Dark Woods
And another EP!: The Fragility of Age

While giving writer's the option would be best, if that's too challenging/time consuming/costly, perhaps having it dropped from all Micro and Poetry postings would be an acceptable alternative.

It happened at a church summer camp so it must be true, right? ;)

This would still be a great option - any news on it being possible?

Please?
