A quick question to the few people who read my things.

This may sound pedantic, but...
what file format do you prefer?
Originally I used .odt and .rtf, but I quickly realized those were less than optimal, for multiple reasons. .txt files, which I'm currently using, are nice, since they let people read the story directly from FA without having to click any links or download anything.
The downsides with .txts are: 1) that it looks like a total mess if you do decide to download it, and 2) Putting things in italics doesn't work that well, which means the stories often lose a bit of detail, since I can't underline things like expletives, thoughts and dreams.
I've been thinking about converting them to .pdf, which seems to be the most common format for writing. Does that sound like a good idea to you guys? I have a few tech-savvy people I could ask about things like these, but I prefer to ask my readers directly instead. Sorry if this is total senseless to you, and is just clogging up your journal feed.
For lineup on fics, I'm probably gonna finish the dumb Grand Templar Trace story that no one reads, before moving on to some Laura x Keith stuff, and then more Keith and Natani.
...Wow, Keith sure is popular, huh?

I did actually slightly start up a story with Mike and Evals, only they're both male: https://pastebin.com/LduF1Jeh
I'm afraid that's the closest you'll get to anything with Mike in it from me... at least for a while. I might make something out of it, who knows.
As for file type, I take it you don't have any preferances?
