Can you see me now?

ETA: All right, I think I get the general picture. Y'all can stop torturing yourselves now. (And thank you to those who already did!)

Okay, I'm trying to do something cool (read: dorky) with fonts for my Urban Legend Challenge, due tomorrow. The only problem is, I'm afraid that all the shiny pretty fonts that are showing up for me won't be visible for you. So I'd really appreciate it if you'd do me a favor and fill out this



First, take a look at the following sentences. Then fill out the poll.

1. Courier makes essays longer BY MAGIC!
2. Hey, this font is sort of...rakish.
3. And this one's sort of fruity. (Oh God, I just made a font pun.)
4. I like to walk on the beach, but I'm afraid to do more than wade.
5. In my adolescence, I used this font a lot. That says bad things.
6. I'm totally running out of clever things to say.
7. Um, not that I had anything all that clever to say in the first place.
8. Sometimes I'm afraid that my fandom legacy is going to be lesbian ponies.
9. Or priest!kink. Or Canadian spies.
10. Actually, I'm pretty okay with that.

Okay, now in an ideal shiny perfect world, all of those would look different to you--from each other, and from the main text. Did they?

[Poll #681676]

Thank you, thank you, thank you to anybody who actually took the time to fill that horrendous thing out. Um. Now's probably not a good time to tell you that the story doesn't even have any sex in it, is it?

I was going to post to LJ, but if it would be easier, I could try posting to my Shiny New Website instead.

I can send you a copy of the .html I used in my post, which should have all the fonts listed where they're supposed to go. How would I go about sending you the font files?

Thanks for doing the beta. And man, I totally know what you mean about half the day being suddenly gone. Where'd it run off to?

well, it'll work for either, really. It's just a matter of background colours but I was going for white background and black text being probably the easiest visually.

Yeap, if you send me the html file, I'll see if I either have the fonts (I don't install all my fonts) or if I can track it down. If I can't, I'll send you an email with how to get the font file.

I really don't know where the day has gone. It's suddenly 3pm and I have to haul arse to work in 30 minutes where I will write my lecture notes, research for my next essay and do image-y things. Oh for a time-turner.

I e-mailed you. But let me reiterate: I am very stupid and confused about this whole process, so please let me know what, if anything, you need me to do. I don't want to dump too much work on you!

And God, yes: a time-turner. Please, please, please.
