I’ve actually thought about this before. David Foster Wallace is one of my favorite writers and his extensive use of footnotes and endnotes have, consciously and/or unconsciously, gotten me to use them more frequently as well.

The simplest approach I could think of for sites like fimfiction would be to perhaps use endnotes rather than footnotes. In other words, you would put all the notes in their own “chapter.” It requires the reader to have two tabs open, one for the text proper and the other for the notes, but that’s probably easier to deal with than asking them to scroll up and down constantly or whatever inconveniences any other workaround would entail.
