Here's a question for the READERS :)

General
First of all, I was wondering... do any of you guys like PDF format at all? I'm considering uploading all my stories in PDF format, from now on. RTF (which I've been using so far) is great, but I think PDF looks a lot better and more presentable. I write all my stories in OpenOffice, anyway. 
kmhirosaki, for example, uses PDF, and it looks fucking GREAT!
So, guys, should I use PDF or stick with RTF? You wouldn't be upset if I suddenly switched to PDF format, would you? I'd really like to know. :) I ALWAYS post the text of my stories, too, so even if you don't download the story, you can always read it here, on FA. :D
Next... I haven't actually written any... blowjobs, have I? Well, I have. But I haven't posted any. Since I got back into writing in December of last year (which makes five months, now), I've written... thirteen stories, in total. That's more than two stories a month. Damn. But yes, thirteen stories in total... and only TWO of them have any sort of blowjob in them.
I'm a bad fox. D:
I mean, wolf.
But yeah, that'll change. So all you cock-sucking lovers will get a real treat with my next story.
Laslty... all you guys who liked Ian and Jamie from Leap of Faith or Kees and Silrin from The Heart's Content... well... let's just say you're in for a really, really sweet surprise, with my next story. ;)

Anyway, short and to the point, I think PDF would be awesome. ^.=.^
Your best bet? Post the file as a .txt with ASCII formatting (which is completely retarded) so you get the story on the page, with a PDF backup in case people want to download that onto a mobile device or their computer for a different look.
I find PDF annoying basically as I hate adobe reader. But I'm probably in a minority there :)
Can't edit a PDF file easily... I don't need to often with other people's work, but the few times I have wanted to, it's been irritating to have to copy and paste it out.
But, that said, adobe reader is rather widespread *shrugs* it's no biggie either way, I just prefer RTF myself :)
Toonces summarized the advantages for this quite well:
Your story will display in-browser, thus eliminating one of the steps between your work and your audience.
You can manipulate the text using standard code.
More people will read stories, because they will display in-browser.
As opposed to displaying out-of-browser, your work will be displayed in-browser
By displaying your story in-browser, more people will read it.
In-browser display.
People will read it, if it's uploaded in .txt.
As you can see the benefits to posting in .txt format are numerous, such as the fact that your work will be displayed in-browser, allowing more people to see it. More people will see it, and read it, because it will be in the browser. Otherwise, it would be out of their browser, and that would be bad.
Please post in .txt format. I'm serious. Thank you.
