I have a project of some sorts that will be long in the works, but could (if, by some miracle chance, I am able to break my poor creative work ethic) see the light of day eventually. Because of the setting of this project, I fully intend on using the long s (ſ), an outdated convention of the letter 's' that was phased out over the course of the early 19th century.

An example:

"Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss," becomes, "Abaſhed the devil ſtood and felt how awful goodneſs is and ſaw Virtue in her ſhape how lovely: and pined his loſs." (John Milton, Paradise Lost)

Would this go over well with readers? Should I put a disclaimer about it before/after the eventual posting of the work, when it approaches completion? Would I be better off excluding it entirely? Leave thoughts below, if possible. I'd love to hear input :)
