Making [Shadowrun - Black and White] more accessible

Hoi, chummers!
It's come to my attention that at least a few people are having trouble viewing .pdf files for my stories that I've posted. So, this journal is an attempt to get more information on other possible ways I can upload the story (perhaps to other resources like WordPress) that I can link from here.
First and foremost: I want to emphasize that the .pdf is the intended reading experience for the following reasons:
*Embedded images (there's only one so far; I have hopes of adding more later on when the story is complete and I go back to re-edit everything)
*Custom fonts used (Sylfaen for general text, Laffayette Comic Pro for Grimm's handwriting, and Perfect DOS VGA 437 for commlink screen output)
With those caveats in mind, I'd like to find an option that would preserve font choices and allow embedding images. Whether it's a document I can upload to FA here, link elsewhere, or some website where I'd have to learn to code it, it doesn't matter to me (I can do the grunt work behind the scenes).
The one thing I can't do here is provide the story as a raw text dump in each upload - the reason being that it will scroll ENDLESSLY FOREVER (because each chapter is, at least, 30+ pages... some are in the 60s or higher).
If anyone has any suggestions for feedback, let me know! Over the summer when I have more time, I will be exploring more options. For now, I'm sorry to say that my best option is to continue uploading .pdf files... though as always, if you would prefer the .docx format I can send that (though it will have formatting and font issues that detract from the intended reading experience).
