Thinking about how in Journal 3, Fiddleford is mentioned as being a very superstitious man (I'm guessing that's supposed to mean devoutly christian from the sign of the cross and the chastising Ford for saying 'devil') and how that would mix with Joel being in her psychic/witch era.

Does he ignore it? Does he make an exception for her specifically because he knows her? Would they argue over it?

Joel would probably do her best to explain that she's not doing 'the devil's work' when she's reading tarot, but then (because tarot cards tend to have an attitude) the devil card would fall out of her deck.

Experimenting with work-skins on AO3 day 1.

Boy, did I spend way more hours on this than I meant to considering I have actual deadlines to meet.

notes under the cut-off:

Textures as backgrounds was a game-changer ngl (really it's just a background-image: url("link") !important) - credit to La_Temperanza on AO3, check out her tutorial on formatting letters and stationary here!

However, I so wish that AO3 allowed fonts. Not because web-safe fonts are bad, but there's so few. Just using the cursive (as seen in Joel's letter) might accidentally translate to a goofy ass front on microsoft devices. So a few more options, or the option to embed fonts one day would be *chefs kiss*

I have no idea when or if I'll use the Sibyl's Diner check, or F's computer (rewriting, I'm thinking of different ways of opening the story. I don't like the current one lol) but I just think they're neat so they get to stay.

Coding is like, surprisingly easy. Did I have a few hiccups with the texture urls? yes. But did I win in the end? Yes.

Me: Okay, I'll make an archive because ao3 doesn't seem to allow texture.

AO3: No, you can use texture, it's just a little complicated.

But like–you absolutely can if you want to...
