[ao3commentoftheday]

I'm browsing through greasy fork looking at ao3 extensions and folks, someone tell me that I shouldn't try to learn javascript?

[ao3commentoftheday]

While I'm here, I might as well share some extensions that folks might be interested in:

Filter bookmarks by word count or chapter count

Only show fics where your favourite ship is the first one tagged

Hide works based on tag, author, title, or words in the summary

Add a download button to work blurbs (download while you browse)

Track your favorite, finished, to-read and disliked fics

Automatic bookmark description creator with title, author, status, summary, and last read date in a collapsible section

Only show the fics written in languages you want to read

Hide or highlight fics that you have kudosed or marked as seen

There's a boatload more, but that's probably a good start?

[bookgeekgrrl]

adding some of my favorites

ao3 rekudos converter: automatically comment on a fic when you've already left kudos

AO3 Floating Comment Box: create a floating comment box at the bottom of the page so you can comment as you read

AO3 Random Nice Comments: lets you Leave a random nice comment with the click of a button

and this isn't on greasyfork but is a life-changing bookmarklet that allows you to export the contents of a works listing (history, bookmarks, marked for later, series) as a CSV.

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

[megacarapa]

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

It's used to switch betwen enabled keyboard layouts for 2/+ languages. e.g. English to Greek, or English to Spanish (to get the letters and symbols the English keyboard doesn't have like ñ or ¿).

more characters with superpowers who look into the whole superhero thing and decide "hm no i do not want to participate in this actually"

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

to be clear i'm not saying they turn to supervillainy. they just look at their superpower-based career options and decide to go in an unrelated direction. dental hygienist. supply chain management. HVAC technician in surprisingly high demand

taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone's identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what's under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it's knocked off and they're in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they "really" look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you're protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.

[valtsv]

and needless to say. the mask stays on during sex.

some of my OCs are trans but I don't know their deadnames. that's personal, they don't need to tell me that

[foone]

yeah I never expected this to be one of my posts with the longest legs, but I didn't realize that people were never gonna stop reblogging this with their OCs, and every time they do that it gets exposed to a new audience of people, who then tag it with their OCs

I think a lot of writers might benefit from giving themselves permission to get weird with format.

Use second person, drop classic rising action and climax format, write backwards, just sit in a moment, tell all you want and refuse to show, make an entire book that’s just one run on sentence, reject tropes, use all tropes, cliche yourself to death, produce something that’s completely gibberish. Break all the rules of marketability. Become ungovernable.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Write a story that just takes place inside one pathetic little person’s head. Do it. It’s enrichment in your enclosure.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Do the writer’s equivalent of playing with finger paints. Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s the middle of the night and I should be sleeping but listen. Listen. Just get weird with it. Open your soul up a little bit. Like actually don’t worry about it being palatable. I’m serious. Get weirder. Get weirder right now. I’m demanding that you get weirder right now. It’s not your responsibility to make your reader feel good. It’s your job to make art, goddamnit. Make art. Make weird art. Open up your third eye and eat an entire cheesecake.
