Some folks best enjoy things in a group, and it sounds like this short story... thing... was completely designed to cater to those folks.
The post does come off as narrow minded, but I got the point after reading into it a bit more.
That's the thing really, it's not a short story at all. It's a web comic with over 10000 pages, a good amount of which are even flash and youtube animations and even flash games. It's totally worth delving in. :)
Saying things like this is narrow-minded as hell and i don't understand why you would even say something like that. All it seems to do is prop yourself up to be higher than someone who comes in later.
Will a person who didn't read it in realtime get a different experience? Sure. Does it mean it's pointless to do so? No. Why would it? In some aspects it may even be a better experience.
Trying to claim "you can't become a beatles fan anymore" is just nonsensical. It sounds like something an _ebooks twitter account would generate and less like a coherent human thought.
It feels like you wear the "be a fan" thing as a badge of honor, instead of just meaning "i like something".
