Matrix Dragon, J. Random Nutter

Ha, I just noticed something else about that StarkWire post.

I wrote this story way back in 2006, and I'm pretty sure I just threw some arbitrary Japanese syllables together for most of the fictional place names...

... and I somehow managed to randomly name the highway where this battle happened the Takamori Bypass. :)

I assume it's not too far from the corner of Amesame Boulevard and Kronmei Street.

On my phone, and probably in any other situation where the page is narrow compared to the minimum text size, the fic looks like this:

It is not pleasant to read this way.

As the guy who sent you the CSS you used as a basis for the HTML conversion of Weapon of Choice way back when, I feel partially responsible for this and would be willing to tinker with the style sheet and figure out how to make it more phone friendly, if that would be helpful to you.

... It really isn't, but you had no way of knowing that,* so let's go :)

If you can figure out some way of doing so that doesn't mess with how it looks on computer displays (recall that the reason it does that is because of the styling that keeps the text from sprawling all across wide browser windows), I'd be willing to consider it, though my heart withers within me at the thought of retrofitting all those files.

OK, I'll have a look at it this weekend and follow up by email. I can also
look into automation for retrofitting files, or at least factoring out the
style sheet to a separate file that can be updated independently.

>* I've just had a long-ass day is all, no worries

I am sorry to hear that and hope the rest of the week goes better.

Well, that appears to be fixed! Thanks for doing that legwork for me.

I have so far applied the change to only eight of the dozens of affected files (the four issues of TIA and the currently extant eps of The Vocaloid Variations), but I'll plug away at it over the next however long.

OK, I've hit every HD file I could think of at this point. I'm sure I missed something somewhere, but it'll turn up one of these days.
