Thanks to everyone for the feedback and poll-replies. It's been incredibly helpful to have some idea of what readers/authors prefer in their archives. Like, say, pie. Don't nobody not like pie, it seems.
I'm supposed to be getting ready for school, so I don't have time for anything else, but I thought I'd confirm that the font is now the same size in the latest version of Firefox and IE6.
Haha, I just wanted to ask you exactly the same thing - anyways, could you slow them down even a bit more? I can read the quotes at that speed, but I find that I'm most often unable to decide wether I want to read more of it or not before the quote switches again - one or two more seconds, perhaps...? (Ah, well, I'm not native as you can see, so please contradict me in case I'm just being slow... :p)
Anyways, I love the new version very much. It was time for a change IMO. :)
No problem! I'll take it to 15 seconds -- that should be plenty, I hope -- but check the site in about ten minutes & let me know if it's still too fast. (It's hard to gauge seconds, so the only really useful way to do it is just to, well, WATCH... boring, I know.) Better that it be just a little too slow than a little too fast. The feedback is really appreciated!
Glad you like the redesign -- there's still stuff that's getting worked on, but the biggest things have been hammered out. Now I'm mostly focused on the nifty stuff I can do, like adding the option to recommend a story (kinda like voting but without the scale), and cleaning up the story pages so they're not quite so messy... but the majority of it from here on out is just getting the stories from the old site to the new. I had no idea people had written so much, when I first asked Mikke if she wanted me to upgrade. *dies*
Hello, I like the new scimitar smile site and easier way of finding fics you've done a wonderful job. No offense but can I say the font is pretty but a big strain on the eyes to read, can it not be arial instead? I feel bad giving critisism because it's not my place, anyway, sorry, I've been pasting fics into word to be able to read them
Hmmm. The base fonts are Gill Sans, Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, & Arial; if you're on a PC, you may have Gill Sans, or Trebuchet -- you probably don't have Helvetica, which means you'd be getting Arial as a default, then. *puzzled* However, Gill Sans and Trebuchet, typographically, are pretty close to Arial but for having curved serif-points where Arial goes straight... so I'm not sure if that's really the font you mean. Do you mean instead where it's a serif (fancy) font? I could definitely see that being trouble for some folks, if their system is calling up a font that's funky enough to be unfamiliar -- it's hard to know, because I can only see what it's calling based on what fonts I have, so I end up doing some guesswork for PC folks. (Sorry

Hi there, there are things I like about the new layout like the colouring, but there are things I don't like the navigation.
I'm on the page for chapter one of Sky Dark's The Adventures of Roy Mustang: Sex Ed Teacher. What I want is to go to the next chapter. I get to the bottom and there is 'return to Sky Dark's page' and 'return to main page'
