Just thought I'd mention this: I'm not sure whether it bothers others or just me.
Rose's Mobius isn't the first story I've read here where I've read Chapter 1 without realizing there was a Prologue (although most of those don't separate the two postings by five weeks). it's just the most recent.
Two ways I can think of to avoid that situation, if you want all the readers to know what's going on, are to combine the Prologue and Chapter 1 into a single post -- "[Story Title] - Prologue and Chapter 1" -- or to put a link or at least a sentence at the top of Chapter 1 informing people that there's a Prologue. Right now we generally don't get that information until we get to the bottom of the page and see [Story Title] Prologue as the previous entry. (Unless you're looking for it in the right-hand column. Maybe I need to start doing that every time I begin reading a new story.)

Me too
I was hard pressed once I found it to understand how it connected to the story until I read Chapter 2.
I think that a link at the start of Chapter 1 would have been a good idea.

Weighting
If you have a story title page, you can make sure a prolog is first by weighting it -1. Of course, if you are using chapter 1 as the title page, that won't work. In that case, use the prolog itself as your title page instead of chapter 1.
You can let me know if you have problems using this solution.
