Thanks for the lists, @Myr — and yes I did notice the new layout changes. Nice :D Can we use the same formatting when linking to stories, too? The little tags at the end are really helpful.

I’m reading this on an iPad Pro 10.5” using Safari for webpage reading. The formatting looks good, the lettering is nicely legible (even in the colored status designations) but, I think, a slightly larger font size would be appreciated by many of us.

I'm getting a little shocked at how many prompts/short stories I've collected.

@Ron's point about the default font size is well taken.  I've started changing my font and pitch to Tahoma 20 in most of my stories and posts. It's just easier to read.

I read more half of the time on my iPhone, no problems with the font size or layout; all looks great.

I am somewhat surprised and pleased to find three of my stories on these lists. To everybody who has read, or started to read them, my humble thanks and appreciation. This is an awesome community.
