To switch or not to switch? Of course you should always switch!

I have the sudden urge to write a really geeky fic full of footnotes and references people don't care or don't care to understand but me, which is fine because hey, I want to write it. The thing is, footnotes are easy to fit on the end of a page in a real book, but how do you do it on the screen? There was once I tried using mouseover tricks but LJ doesn't allow javascript and you can't fit much in an alt-text. =/

Anyway. The fic would be about D1 pulling shenanigans on the world and it would be called The Monty Hall Problem. XD

I think footnotes are more than adequate. Though, too many might make it seem more like an acedemic essay more so than a fictional story, but I guess that's where the geekiness comes from XDDDDD (Are essays and fic cross overs possible? -.- *scratches head*) I always say it's better to have the references there for the readers' knowledge than to leave them clueless.

Anyways, I suppose you could just link the word or phrase in the text to the reference you want, to give the reader the option of looking it up or not.

I am all in favour of this fic, I hope it happens! *O*
