LJ layouts and other stuff

[wiseheart]

I'm definitely getting old. Small fonts never bothered me before, but now I find I have to stop looking up a lot of LJs - not those of my friends, as my friendslist is displayed the same way my main page does - but many other communities or personal journals. Increasingly more people (and mantainer) seem to prefer a layout with waaaay too small fonts for my wee old eyes.

*pouts* How am I supposed to read fanfiction, when I can't you know, read it?

I think I should find a way to show the stuff behind the tag in the same configuration on otherworlds_lib than on the front page. It *should* be possible, as I've seen other people doing that. I just need to figure out *how* to do it. The front page has such nice, big font, extremely reader-friendly.

On the other hand, reposting "Alternate Caretaker" is really great fun. This is the story that caused the most controverse in the Pit of Voles and got the most flames. I'm still very happy with it, especially with Chapter 11, where I found a neat alternative to the Caretaker as shown in the series. I think my amorphous energy being with its many appendages is a lot more interesting than the unshaved, senile old man they showed us in the pilot. To bad nobody ever seemed to recognize the achievement, but it's their loss.

I did a lot of neat things in that story, I think. The Benzite babies are cute, and will provide interesting storytelling possibilities in te future. Someone on FF.Net once complained that the story doesn't seem that difficult from the original - well, they should have gone further than Chapter 3 or 4 or whatnot. My stories seldom happen in two chapters... this is a looooooooong and convulted storyline.

Sorry - your computer won't have those terms, of course! But there should be a set of tools to help people with lower vision, including one that acts like a magnifying glass.
