Yeah, you have a point there. I don't really believe in keeping secrets from writers you are currently writing with even if they are your only readers. If it's a good surprise then you'll know it's a good one and if you need someone to be surprised by it then advertise. For instance, I've been thinking of adding in some personality/backstory twists to Trakel. If I were to use these then I'd likely edit them into the CS beforehand.
