Oh sweet fuck, tell me this is a joke

*looking at the "new and improved" archive skin in horror*

Gray! The background is GRAY!

And the "this is one of your own things" background is PINK!

*horrified beyond words*

ETA: A Quick Fix Skin I ran up is available here until it actually goes public.

At least it's not just me! I don't get how every other archive can at least show me every single story- but not AO3.

Doesn't that suck for authors as well? Say your story is the main pairing, average length, uploaded a while ago and say hurt/comfort or angst-in a big fandom there is no way your story will show up in those 50 pages.

When I find a new fandom, I got through all 50 pages (which will get me the last 1000 fics uploaded/updated) then I sort by order of size and go through that. Beyond that, I won't see you story. And I shouldn't have to sort by date updated-all 50 pages, then reverse that-all 50 pages, then by size-all 50 pages, then reverse size-all 50 pages and so on. I'll end up seeing lots of the same stories and still missing lots.

And that blue bar is there, taunting me about it :(
