snakeling: (merlin: thinking thinky thoughts)

So I just realised that I hadn't written a post in more than a year. Hm. Well. Hi, I'm still alive!

Anyway, [personal profile] anatsuno asked me about my IFTTT recipes to send fics to my ereader, so I decided to share with the world at large :)

tl;dr: how I put fics in front of my eyeballs )

[personal profile] anatsuno, if you explain to me how you collect the fics you want to read, I can help you work out a solution to send them to your kindle!

I'm coding yet another Snarry Games fic, and I have to ask:

How the fuck do you manage to put so many soft returns in your fics?

Seriously! It's not even consistent, like a file would use only soft returns, which I could explain by a disparity in software (something a bit like that sometimes happens with text files, with people who are, I expect, using old Macs). I always have to remember to change all the soft returns into hard returns first, otherwise it fucks up my macro that insert paragraph tags. :/


Also, I'm not dead, just up to my eyebrows in 1) rl work, 2) Snarry Games coding, 3) writing, and this last weekend, a particularly nasty stomach bug. :)

Font?

A question for the other font freaks on my flist. I'm looking for a font to use in my CV, and I need it to have the following characteristics. So far I've been unsuccessful, so any and all suggestions are welcome.

  • serif, Old Style or Transitional
  • legible, classic without being boring
  • with a bold variant
  • free
  • with accented characters
  • ETA: more than a passing nod to the notion of kerning
  • (optional) with an italic variant (italic, not oblique)
  • (optional) with the 5 most common ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl)
  • (optional) old-style numerals

Think Gentium, but with a bold variant.


And in my searches, I've found the best website ever: Bembo's Zoo :)
