My thoughts on FA now in-lining stories/word processed files

...I think it is for the better?
I really don't know how to feel about this. For the people who always struggled to access my stuff, well, now you can finally do so without third party software. Probably the most important takeaway.
It also seems that the only thing that got all of its formatting preserved was the Indeedee story/harem sequel...but older stuff like Team Carrier(.rtf) and Mega Absol(.docx) only have partial formatting preservation. Namely the fonts for the different characters don't seem to be carried over. *edited*
So, for the best possible experience, at least for the vast majority of my stuff, I still recommend downloading the file itself and then opening it in third party software like MS Word or Libre Office or something similar. That will guarantee even the older stuff I did can still be read exactly as intended, if nothing else than to gain access to the special fonts I've been using to help distinguish characters and stuff looks neater. On the other hand, not much to complain about when you don't need such software to access my stuff now, to be fair.
This change definitely does not play well with the Lugia story, good lord. Or a reasonable facsimile thereof. But I digress.
