Maximize your fic's readability

Dec 03, 2011 08:55

Hi writers,

We would like to provide y'all with some tips on making your fic more readable to your audience. We know many of you are veterans but these tips bear repeating.

1. Use black text on white background. If you don't want to change your journal style, you may consider disabling custom comment page. Click on this link, go to "Presentation: Basic Option", select "Yes" for "Disable customized comment pages for your journal".

2. Do not hard code your fonts.

3. Make sure you include a space between paragraphs.

4. Always include a link to the next part at the bottom of your page.

5. We encourage writers to include a downloadable PDFs, preferably one with art and one without, for readers. Please contact us if you require assistance in converting your fic into PDF.

6. We also encourage crossposting to Archive of Our Own (AO3) as they provide many downloading options. Joining AO3 is by invitation only and we have a small number of invitations. If you don't have an AO3 account and would like to have one to post your Sassy Minibang, please comment here with your e-mail where we would sent the invitation to. Please note that this is first come first serve and available only to Sassy Minibang writers.

ETA: The awesomesauce tawg and sgmajorshipper both generously offer their AO3 invitations to Sassy Minibangers. Thank you very much guys! :D
