beccaelizabethYou know that 37 part Jack/Ianto fic?
Is it *all* written in purple on black???
... is it worth the fiddling with settings to make it nice black on white?
I read up to Ianto apparently shooting at Owen for making snarky remarks and decided 'no'. That's just... No.
It's probably unfair that color schemes involving purple put me off so much, but the thing is whenever I have actually tweaked it into legibility I haven't found stuff to my taste at all. Pink on purple is the worst offender, and usually has bad spelling, but purple on black tends towards purple prose in the unironic sense. It's somewhere between weird and amusing.
I think some of my older fics have fancy color schemes. I've thought about revising them now I'm older and less enthusiastic about such things, but I figure, as is, it's fair warning. Because some of that stuff was written when my age still had 'teen' in it.
... dear god, some of it was written when I was half my age. There's godawful fantasy fic from when I was 15 out there. *shudders*
I have a rule against unsaying stories, but sometimes it do get tempting.

Date: 2007-09-05 04:10 pm (UTC)by the fourth round, it was only good reflexes on Toshiko’s part that ensured the bullet from Ianto’s gun sped past the doctor’s head rather than through it.
So I closed it.
Really, it had already gone through several I-don't-believe-this moments, starting with Jack leaving the Doctor for not being the Doctor any more (of course he's the same guy!) and moving through returning just for Ianto and not anything to do with duty (did they not watch episode 1-12?) and up to jealous!Jack (who is the reason I think monogamists should keep their hands off him. Jack as I understand him would go for the threesome every time.)
Everyone just seemed turned up to 11, or more even. Exaggerated.
I don't know. I'm grouchy today.

Plus Jack is being a creepy stalker and neither Jack nor Ianto have told the team Jack is back. I simply cannot buy it.
