I really appreciate the rec, thank you so much! Just so you know, I have it also on WIKTT ARchives, and I prefer that link for two reasons. First, it's hard to revise on OWL, because I'm not validated there. WIKTT Archives has a cleaner and more complete copy with material not on the other archive. Second, I really wish more people would read on WIKTT Archives. Its unmoderated, but it loads fast, is user-friendly, has author and story alerts and favorites and has some great authors from Bloodcult ot Wendynat
I've changed the link so it leads tho WIKTT Archives. I wonder why I rarely go there to look for stories to read. It does not play tricks like the new Mage site. One thing I don't like there, or anywhere, is the text confined to the middle column. When I enlarge it for reading it looks quite unapealing, with a dozen words per line. If there is a way to get around it, please tell me.
I think most people tend to overlook WIKTT Archives, mostly because I think authors tend to put their fics there last, so people have already seen them on other sites and don't think of it as a place to find new fics. And those few not to be found on a moderated archive are often believed to not be the best, and its assumed its there because the author couldn't get into a moderated archive.
But sometimes an author chooses not to post to a moderated archive becasue they want to keep control over their own fic and don't like the way moderation interferes with their best judgement for their own story.
I know some people don't like the way the text is displayed--people have that complaint of Mage, too, I know. I'm afraid I know of no way to fix that. Sometimes you can by choosing a different shell under "Edit Personal Information" and I know they're trying to do that with Mage, but I don't think there's an option among the two skins on WIKTT.
