Order of reading Embark, Framed, and Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Hi! I want to get started on [livejournal.com profile] plumsuede series of Embark, Framed, and Beyond the Yellow Brick Road and not sure where to start. I'm aware that the timeframe she wrote them in differs from BYBR and I don't want to have any spoilers by reading previews, so if someone can help that would be super! I'm just confused by the prequel, sequel thing. *embarrassed*

Thanks so much!
Deborah *Hugs*

Before the start of "Embark (http://bjfic.livejournal.com/369081.html)" you seem to say that it's the prologue to "Framed" which is a sequel to "BTYBR". You can understand that there's a lot of confusion out here & even more so now that u recommend reading "Framed" first??

I imagine that u would know exactly if u wanted to... For whatever it's worth, I tried a word count over this past summer which shows that Embark + Framed + Beyond the Yellow Brick Road (thru ch. 47 ext) = approx. 408k words total.

Embark was written in the middle of BYBR, that's why I say that. Framed was written as THE look back before Embark was conceived, so it can be read either first or after Framed as both are a look back. Not trying to confuse people, just giving them options. If it's confusing, just stick with Embark, Framed, BYBR in that order.
