Open Sans is my hero
I've always struggled with reading. Skipping words, lines, letters. Reading the wrong word. Trouble focusing and having to go back and reread again. Lately, my eyes have also been strained, too.
This is bad because I NEED to read fic. Lots and lots of fic. But it's getting harder to manage. Podfic helps. (Podficcers, I LOVE you. Really, I do).
I looked up dyslexia and ADHD fonts in a moment of desperation. I am not dyslexic (or, I don't think I am), but the opendyslexic font made reading so much easier for me! I couldn't get it to work with AO3 though (boo!).
I eventually found Open Sans works on AO3 and google docs. And I'm so excited you all. I'm not skipping as much, it's easier to focus, and it really just works for me!
I made myself a skin with Open Sans, larger font, and colors that make me happy. And there is no point to this post except to say, if you're anything like me, maybe Open Sans will help you to. I have no clue how to share my own skins but I quickly made mine using the skin wizard on AO3.
Now excuse me, I need to go read a lot of fic.
