What is with the plethora of fic posted in grey font and some that are grey font with all the italics in blue?
I read with my journal style forced over, so I don't encounter that much. Though every now and again, there are random font changes, which I just don't get--Gedry's 12 Steps, for instance, changed font with every chapter.
Have you read the Quantum Leap/Buffy/SPN that takes place right before the end of Season 4? There were a couple of odd moments between Faith and Dean but I totally bought that Sam and Dawn were an item.
For some reason I'm put off by Buffy crossovers. Partly because of the utter boringness I see in the Faith/Dean pairing, and partly the eyescrubbing I had to do after reading John/Castiel/Buffy. Which I shouldn't hold against other fic, but the prejudice lingers.
Do you have a link?

only five exchanges fit on the screen
at a time.

I'm blind! Oh god, the saran wrap!
I thought that was a shower curtain.
I hit back so fast I couldn't really tell.

Readability. You drop it in your toolbar and click on it to turn hard-to-read web pages into something plain, but very readable. It saves a ton of eye strain. [link]
