@Fanfic writers:

My friend send me this link, is a series on a profile on Ao3 (tumblr) that has different tutorials to insert things to fanfics via html code, I thought I would share bc it’s really cool

Lists of tutorials:

How to make images fit in mobile browsers

This is a tutorial/live example on how to make large images fit on mobile browsers but remain normal size on desktop browsers.

How to mimic letters, fliers, and stationery without using images

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic the look of letters, fliers, and stationery (as well as other forms of written media) without using images. For all your epistolary fic needs.

How to make a “choose your own adventure” Fic

This is a tutorial/live example on how to create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" fic. While this has been explained before (see here), this particular tutorial shows you how to use a work skin to hide the next parts from the reader until they click through to get to them.

How to make linked footnotes on Ao3

This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.

How to change text on Ao3 when the cursor is hovering over it (or clicked on mobile)

This a tutorial/live example on how to have text change or appear once a cursor is hovering over it. Helpful for pop-up spoilers, language translations, quick author's notes, etc.

How to mimic author’s notes and Kudos/Comment buttons

Anonymous on tumblr: do you have a skin that would mimic the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons section from the end of a fic? the desired effect being that the fic could go on after the “end” of the fic, so after the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons

Here's a tutorial/live example to do just that, with some of the buttons actually functioning. I'll explain more inside!

How to wrap text around images

This is a tutorial/live example on how to align images to the left or right of the screen and have text wrap around them.

How to mimic email windows

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic email windows on AO3 without the need to use images.

How to make ios text messages on Ao3

This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic iOS text messages on AO3 without the need to use images. There's also a chapter on how to have emojis displayed on AO3 as well.

How to make Customized page deviders

Bored with the default page dividers? This is a tutorial/live example on how customize your page dividers with no images needed (though I do show you how you could use images if you wanted to do such a thing).

How to make invisible text (That can be highlighted)

This is a live example how to make invisible text that can only be seen by highlighting the text. Tutorial is included in text, and you can always leave comments about questions you may have.

MOBILE USERS: Sadly, this probably won't work for you, since highlighting in a mobile browser is different than web. I've tried correcting this, but have yet to find a solution.

How to make a rounded playlist

Original coding and design is from layouttest. I make no claims for it, just tweaked it so it will work on AO3.

GG and DD’s Projects

I get the sense that there are a lot of turtles who haven’t seen GG and DD’s projects, so I’ve put together a compilation of links where you can view some of their most interesting work.

I'm 33 years old and a month ago, I realized that I'm bisexual. I had so much shit in my life it never occurred to me to think about it. Initially I thought I was just crushing on girls but then there's someone in my life now that made me rethink everything. 2 days after my realization, I told my bestfriend.

All is well so far. Hmm.

fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment

I have a lot of animlistic characters that often don't talk in normal voices, and I end up using the words "say", "growl", and "snarl" too much. Specifically, do you have a list of words to replace these more uncivilized noises?

It’s always been my opinion that you should rely on ‘say’ unless you really need to show some kind of strong emotion. It can be awkward to read an exchange with several different adjectives scattered throughout. There are also many other ways you can draw out the animalistic sides to your characters without always pointing out that their speech or voices are different.

Of course, I’m not gonna send you away with only that…! It is good to avoid dialogue scenes being ‘same-y’ by expanding one’s vocabulary, too.

Animal Voice Descriptors

As well as these descriptors, you could also keep things simple and describe the way the ‘snarls’ or ‘growls’ sound. Such as a ‘guttural’ growl or ‘sharp’ snarl. Like with most pieces of description, it should be sparing and not too stuffed with adjectives, but in a pretty sparse scene, that added description can really give the reader a good sense of what this character should sound like.

Be emotive and to-the-point!

Please find more lists below for further reference. I hope this helps.
