That's a good strategy. I use it often too. When somebody accuses me of doing something bad I ask them to name three examples when I did that. You can't divert our determination to vote for you Mark!
Moreover it sends us to re-read both of your stories to point out ONLY ONE, the biggest cliffhanger.
Personally, for me it was paradoxically in Bridgemont series every time you felt like killing Calvert. That was the biggest and most evil cliffhanger I remember. You have to be more careful in CAP, so if you make a cliff, you post another chapter soon, so it's not that hard on your readers.
