Ha, no, it's not supposed to be quite that confusing. It is definitely not supposed to be so hard to read.
I don't know if you remember or if you were around back then, but when this fic was originally posted, the Kitten was at ezboard. When we moved to this board, we transferred over all the fics. Some of them, especially ones that contained extremely long individual posts, didn't make the move very well. I shouldn't be surprised that we're still discovering these after all this time.
Our old board still exists over there in ezboard/yuku land. You can read this fic (which is still unfinished, as far as I understand) as it was originally posted there. Here's the link:
The Late ShiftAs far as I can tell, it's intact.
(Note: I had a problem viewing those really long posts using Firefox, but they seem to show up fine using Internet Explorer.)
