Is it just me?

[spockside]

On this page the post above appears in a normal size font, but on my friends page it appears in something about fifty times larger and all squashed and overlapping. All the other posts on my journal look normal. Is anyone else having issues with the formatting?

I'm using the "Tranquility II" style.

It's not just you. It's so big on my flist that I can't even read it. =/

Re: Is it just me?

[igrockspock]

Eek! It looks normal on mine - I'm working on it now!

Re: Is it just me?

[igrockspock]

Is it better now? I tinkered with the HTML.

1. Natasha: It's a strange thing to discover and believe that you are loved when you know that there is nothing in you for anyone but God or a parent to love.

2. Natasha: Here the city code is lock and load

3. Any: a revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having.

4. Any: Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.”

Fill: Get Your Claws In-Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff

She was old, Peggy hated being old, because she couldn't move fast as she had to. Her life had been a series of being there at the right moment doing the right or the wrong thing, but there and visible

So awesome! I love Peggy's trajectory through the military, and her little retirement circle of Intelligence Biddies - what an excellent name! Of course, getting to see two tough ladies interact is a nice treat too - I love how you found a way for her life to intersect with Natasha's!

Well, I can just see them as these ladies who started in a time when they were meant to be good little secretaries and said no. And now they're just there and everyone tells them everything. I'm glad you liked it.

1) Christine Everheart: A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.

2) Betty Ross: In all science, error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last.

3) Peggy Carter: “I love [war]. God help me I do love it so.”

4) Natasha Romanoff: to have another language is to possess a second soul

Fill: A Woman with Seven Souls (Avengers, Natasha)

[igrockspock]

In Russian, she is a child soldier, an assassin, and a spy. She speaks in Russian, but she does not think in Russian: not about her targets, not about her orders, and certainly not about their aftermath

Re: Fill: A Woman with Seven Souls (Avengers, Natasha)

[ashen_key]

Ohhhh, I love this, and the idea of Natasha inhabiting her alias to such an extent that she doesn't know Russian is just fascinating. Thank you so much!
