castalieIsn't it weird how the format of a fic will influence you? I mean, I guess it shouldn't matter that the formatting is all 'wrong', ie spacey with a different font than the one we're used to seeing on LJ, with bold text etc... but I can't help it, as soon as I see a story which template looks odd, with weird fonts, break lines all over the place or, even worse, with different font colours, I lose all prospective interest - unless I know the author and already like their fics, I mean.
Or maybe I don't necessarily lose all interest, but I can't help being, I don't know, prejudiced? This is stupid, I know, I'm trying to get over it, promise.
Though I guess it doesn't help that when I do decide to stop being silly and anal about formatting and actually read the fic, it often ends up in the bad!fic category. Admittedly it could just be bad luck on my part, mind. As usual, bad!fic is in the eye of the beholder blah blah blah but still...
I just saw that kind of story so that's why I was thinking about that.
Anyway! Had a great weekend; I spent the whole day at my sister's today and we had a BBQ and all lazed around under the sun. Awesomeness.
And yesterday I went to Pride with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greedy_dancer and we had an fantastic time, as usual. There's so much energy in that event, it's absolutely wonderful! A bit tiring, mind, because when you reach Bastille - where the parade ends - you're kinda dead on your feet but it's so worth it! Definitely one of my favourite time of the year :-)
GD also reminded me that this year's Pride marked the fourth anniversary of our meeting which, yay, anniversary! I totally consider Pride as one of our traditions, I have to say, so I'm glad we usually manage to go together.
