That's not the point. It's bad writing to have the A/N's in the middle of the story. If you have to explain what a Shagra is in the A/N (something actually only mentioned once in the story proper) than something wrong has occurred and must be fixed, possibly by putting more description or exposition as to what it is.

Putting in the A/Ns only serves to take you out of the story. What you gain in information you lose in immersion, and it isn't even necessary. All you need to do is properly explain it in the story, something somewhat hard to do with the format (and general writing style you have, which has blocks of text in many places, as well as rapidly changing perspectives.
