If a fic rec praises a fic highly, and the synopsis sounds good, and the fic isn't cross-posted on AO3, I will give it a chance on LJ/DW or FF.net. But it's definitely not something I do very often.

I will not even try to read anything on wattpad. I have literally never found anything that was better than barely readable on that site.

I will, too, if that's the only place they post. But omg, it's so hard sometimes, especially when people have tiny little font on weird colors....

I have never read on Wattpad. I just bounced over to look at it. It's....certainly something.

Tweak your settings to show journal entry pages on your chosen site skin. Unless they're an absolute dumbass who has hardcoded their aesthetic decisions in the post itself, it completely gets rid of styling and lets you read on a nice, clean page with your choice of contrast levels.

I do that, but even my own LJ is getting hard to read. The format is just odd, and I've been on journals where the text is bigger, it's just....weird looking.

It works most of the time, but i can see a time when massive resetting of basically everything will have to be done for me to keep reading on LJ or DW.

I have never read on Wattpad. I just bounced over to look at it. It's....certainly something.

Yeahhh. I...try not to shit on it too vocally most of the time, because I'm pretty sure the age demographic is like...ages 8-15? But there were instances in the past where someone recced fics that linked to wattpad, and whenever I gave those fics a chance, they were always barely readable. So now I just refuse to be talked into going there, no matter what the reccer claims.

What drives me crazy is that wattpad seems to let (encourage?) people to add a piece of fanart to their fic as a kind of "cover image," and the custom seems to be to use whatever image you want, and not credit the artist. Which sucks for the artist, obviously, but it's also really annoying because I keep seeing little 1/4 sized fanart images that I like, finding out they're wattpad fic covers, and then not being able to figure out who the actual artist is. Okay, okay, end rant.

Oh, man, yes, that does suck. When i was on Tumblr more, i would never repost/reblog art unless I could find the artists name or webpage. Same for Pinterest. That's just lame.

Heee! No, i get you. I will do Google and Tineye image searches in he hope of finding artists. Sometimes it works.....

Same - if a fic is recommended and linked to by others, I'll give it a read but I don't actively hunt for fics outside of AO3 anymore.

And Wattpad really is awful.

It really seems ...odd. I never knew what it was, before.

Here you go.
