mainly coding ao3 skins

He/him, beginner ao3 writer/coder (unfortunately ill of health so may be gone for long periods of time). Update-Dec 2025: I won't be accessing this blog for awhile-so I can't respond to anything until I get back. Unsure when I'll return @ao3skin-beginner-attempts

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

Edit:While I am away for health issues, I won't be able to see/complete requests nor will I be on Tumblr.- Dec 2025:

Ao3 Skin List/Ask Guidelines

(may be updated later on if certain questions are not answered)

Make as many requests as you want, but just know requests are typically filled numerically/by guidelines.

So sometimes you may wait a while just because you asked after alot of people. (Plus I also do this for fun, so it might take me a while to get around to finishing requests ^^)

Fair warning, please specify colour+colour themes else I will not get back to you. (Ex: don't just say darkish theme, is it black, brown, blue darkish theme).

If possible try to explain as much as possible / clearly as possible, as it lessens the wait when the request is fulfilled.

At the moment i have no restrictions with what request I will take, though I will refuse any request if I, for whatever reason, don't want to do them! (Edit: requests for images w csem/csam skins will be reported and deleted.)

Below are the ao3 skins done sofar:

Dark Jellyfish Skin

Octopus Mosaic Skin

Purple Octopus Mosaic Skin

Mango Skin

Light Jellyfish Skin

Nightish Skin

Dark Acadamia/Fallish Skin

Frutiger Aero Skin

Update

I haven't been doing to well these past few months and had to postpone coding. Unfortunately it seems I will be away for unknown time longer (perhaps a few months).

Once I return I'll hopefully be able to begun responding to all the asks.

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

I would humbly ask for a Hangyodon AO3 skin! He's my favorite Sanrio character and deserves more love! I adore your My Melody and Jellyfish skins too! <3

Pardon, but do you happen to have a specific colour theme in mind? (This ask was done before I updated the guidelines. To the anons asking currently, if your ask doesn't fit the guidelines I cannot answer them.)

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

I know it's not a request, so I hope this doesn't annoy you. But I've seen you churn these out so fast, and as someone who knows how much goes into working with CSS, I just wanted to make sure you get your props for the fantastic job you're doing! I speak for everyone who has put in a request so far by saying that we're very grateful that you do this for us! Hope you have a great day!!

Aww, thank you so much for saying that!! It really means a lot. CSS can definitely be a puzzle sometimes, but I genuinely enjoy working on these and seeing everyone’s ideas come to life. I’m really glad it’s helpful for you all!! Hope you’re having a great day too!

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

Ahhhh sorry I’m the pompompurin request and I just read the guidelines but can you make it a cute light yellow theme (his shade of yellow) and then if you can make sure the font isn’t squishy with any of the things you’ll do!?

Thank you for reading the guidelines and being specific! (too many Anon asks I've recently gotten haven't or have been intensely vague. Since I can't contact them, I have no way of asking what they mean (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠))

Also, probably my lack of extensive knowledge in this language, but I'm unfortunately unsure by what exactly you mean when you say, squishy font

Pardon, but if this squishy font has persisted, let me know in another ask and I will try to fix the issue

Pompompurin AO3 Skin

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

hi, you probably got a lot of reqs, but would you ever consider a black widow (or marvel) themed skin?

also, your octopus mosaic skin canva link doesnt seem to be working 😞

no pressure, thank you!

sure no problem! Also thank you for clarifying the theme colours in another ask

As for the octopus mosaic there was a technical error that I'm trying to fix, so the link will unfortunately be down for a while

Black Widow AO3 Skin

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

Hiii I think all your skins are absolutely stunning, and I wanted to know if I can make multiple requests or what your guidelines are? Tysm!!

Firstly, thank you, that's lovely of you to say!

Secondly my guidelines are in a pinned post here and thanks for asking

If you have any questions not answered in the post, let me know and I'll clarify the best I can!

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

My melody Ao3 Skin

Hello! I know that you probably get a lot of requests, but a frutiger aero skin would be very cool!

no problem! I have a question though

Would you prefer the background to be a frutiger aero theme or just a specific colour like I used?

(also if you have any feedback on any items let me know, such as disliking a certain element)

The images are what the skin looks like so far:

Frutiger Algo Ao3 Skin

I used a water bg for the buttons to try to keep the theme up.

[ao3skin-beginner-attempts]

Hi, so, uh, I really fell loved the Stolas Themed Ao3 skin you made recently. I was wondering if you are still doing requests, could you make a Hazbin Hotel Adam-themed skin? He's my favorite character from the series 💛

Thank you! (Stolas was a pain to code, since the search box kept making a run for it.)

Also, yes I am still doing requests. Additionally if you have any feedback on any items let me know ( such as disliking a certain element)

Hello! I discovered your skins on R/Ao3 and they are gorgeous! I was wondering if I could request a skin?

I don’t really have any strong preferences but I’d love something based on the video game House of Ashes.

it’s alright if you don’t want to! I just wanted to ask just in case

Thank you

Thank you that's lovely of you to say! And no problem! I unfortunately don't have the game so I could only find images from google. Since you didn't have any specific preferences, I spun a wheel (so I wouldn't be biased when choosing a colour).

hi! is there any chance you could make a dark mode kind of brown/dark academia inspired skin? or like some sort of autumny cozy vibe. thank you beforehand :)

Dark Acadamia/Fallish Ao3 Skin

I tried to have a mix of both dark academia and cozy fall

the other options for the kudos is this (you can change it by simply replacing the kudos image link): https://www.pngall.com/wp-content/uploads/15/Dark-Academia-Background-PNG.png

hi! i was wondering if you could explain how to change the button colors on ao3 without changing the button colors for the fandoms browser about taskbar thing

Sure I'll try my best! If you mean an all button type code, except for the fandom drop-down (this also doesn't include the dashboard, since that's another code) I'll try my best to explain. (I am still a beginner myself so always double check.)

the code I pointed out in the example will appear as this:

So if anyone just tries to use buttons only, now you know why only specific buttons change colours

I wasn't sure if you specifically only wanted certain button, so I covered all of them just in case. For colouring only some buttons you can simply remove the additional code.
