Housekeeping

Hi again!

I have no meme to offer you! Skip this post!

Anyway...

Now that I'm actually paying attention to this site again, I'd like to make it look just a little bit less like a mess–or at least, a bit more consistent. Don't expect any dramatic redesigns, but whenever I have free time (which is something I think I used to have, long ago when I helped start this project) I'll play with the shoddy coding I did a while ago and try to actually fix the background. It happens to be broken in a way that looks more or less okay on the majority of devices I've had a chance to test it on, but on my widescreen monitor it looks markedly not-okay, and it's never consistent.

I'd also like to make text posted here more readable since that's kinda the entire point of this site. I posted the last story in big font partially as a stopgap measure and partially because something on Blogger's end broke and wouldn't post the text at a normal size (it also frequently makes seemingly random snippets of text large or small and refuses to change their size until they're retyped), but consistency would probably be ideal. Theoretically this should take about five minutes to implement, but since I want to standardize everything and have to make allowances for working with Blogger I want to set aside a few hours and do it (as) right (as I, without any coding experience, can).

Frankly speaking, I'm well aware that this site doesn't receive any significant number of visitors. That said, it's still a space I work in and so I want to keep it nice, or whatever passes for nice in the context of deliberately creating meme hell. It's also the only place we currently have all of our content collected. Maybe someday someone will end up here through our FanFiction.Net account link and notice that we do other stuff–I won't be holding my breath. If anyone does, uh, feel free to leave a comment. We actually do really value the reviews we get on our other profile, and speaking personally I've adjusted my writing a bit with the one actually useful bit of criticism I've received in mind (but really, it's also just nice to remember that when I spend hours of my busy life crafting these... things and then dump them onto the internet, they sometimes actually reach other people).

We should probably create a Tumblr or something somewhere where interaction is actually the norm, but I don't wanna. Maybe Aleximander will do it (lol).

If I break something and this site becomes unusable, sorry in advance~

It took all my willpower not to make this the cover photo for our FanFiction.Net story post, but I don't want to give them any more reason to ban us than we already do every time we submit content.
