Pretty sure Sherlock keeps resurrecting.
I’ve always thought that was true.
But you don’t need to call me stud :)
OP your font sucks butt (in the bad way) and as white text on a black background it is completely illegible to me. Please consider making your posts more accessible
Image transcription:
Yeah sure Tumblr is a hellsite but I know someone who wrote a fanfic in the 1990s that someone else didn’t like, so when she was selling printed copies of the zine with the story in it out of her hotel room at a convention, this other woman STOOD IN FRONT OF HER DOOR TO REFUSE PEOPLE ACCESS. Because the story featured a ship she disliked. And I feel like somehow, 10,000 Tumblrs still can’t compare to that level of Extra.
Your periodic reminder that the technology and the scale of distribution changes, the basic impulse to fandom wank does not
#remember when 20k people cancelled the strand in protest when conan doyle when he killed sherlock and also kept sending him threats and the#harassing authors and creators is also a thing since forever#people never change
Would you, perhaps, like to suggest a better text colour/background colour?
There are almost infinite variations and I could go through all of them before I find one that suits everyone, so if I had a place to start from, that would be helpful.
I think dark text on a light background is the main distinction that helps, though you wouldn’t wanna do blue/yellow or red/green due to color blindness.
I think the issue with the font itself is that you’re using a font designed for print media which is hard to read on a screen for folks with vision and reading related disabilities
Everyone should really just be adding a transcript regardless though, that way it doesn’t matter. On Android, I use the OCR tool in the “Image Toolbox” app available on Fdroid (I’m guilty of not doing this myself often btw- I need to be better about it myself)
By way of explanation (and it is explanation, not excuse, just to be clear) what you see is exactly what it looks like when I view it on tumblr in my feed.
I will see if I can adjust my skin (so to speak) and perhaps make it better.
The transcript part might be harder, because sometimes I post hundred of lines at once, and (with all due respect) if I am going to start doing that I’ll just end up not posting as often because if I am formatting a text post of 500+ lines into a single image it can take upwards of ten, fifteen minutes, and then having to get transcribe that (even with some automated process) just takes all the fun out of what I’m doing.
I understand the need for accessibility (I get it A LOT at work - we review all the software we produce before we release it) but this isn’t work, it’s fun and when it stops being fun then I’m just not going to bother :)
Fair enough! When I feel that way is also when I leave it out, so I totally understand
Holy shit Image Toolbox has OCR?! Damn I’ll keep that in mind for future purposes.
