AO3 will be down for about 15 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on January 21 (what time is that for me?) while we make some improvements to searching bookmarks and series, including:

adding the ability to search, filter, and sort bookmarks by word count

making sure bookmark search results are correct when you use tags containing letters and numbers

preventing series blurbs from listing tags that were only used on draft works

preventing series blurbs from listing tags used on restricted works for guests

updating series bookmark search so it only searches the tags on works you can access

Please follow our status page for updates.

@ao3org thank you so much! I've been dreaming of sorting bookmarks by word count since I hit 1000 bm almost 10 years ago

Nothing makes me feel like more of an absolute fucking idiot than cooking.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

An Assyrian guy put a rice recipe up here awhile back and it was the best rice I've ever eaten. The recipe? Half-cook the rice and then bake it in butter. It had somehow never occurred to me that you could do that. Of course you can do that. Did I just think the rice was allergic to the oven or something.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I cooked rice like this and had some left over so I used it to bulk out my sad pathetic watery homemade vegetable soup. To my huge surprise it turned it into the best soup I'd ever eaten. Magically gave it real body, made it textured and nurturing, held heat better, added massive depth of flavour.

Hey guys did you. Did you know that butter. Did you know that if you put fat in food it makes it more satisfying and adds textural depth. Hey did you know that some flavours aren't very soluble in water and are instead soluble in fats, so if you add some fat to your watery soup then. Then the flavours. Hey guys did you know that butter is a fat.

Mind blown super surprising in my late thirties hey guys did you know that sad watery soup can be improved with some fat? Just like sauce or meat or basically any other food which I already knew about? Did you know it works for soup as well? Did you know that some flavours are more soluble in

I have a chemistry background.

Oh wow that sounds really bad! Thanks for the tip, Rupert Murdoch-owned NY Post who I'm sure has absolutely no agenda, and absolutely wouldn't circulate a misleading headline- oh.

“If somebody is surviving, going through domestic violence – there are so many different, different situations that would far better be handled by people trained to deal with those specific situations as opposed to an individual with a gun who has received quite a limited amount of training in general, but also in regards to these specific situations,” the Queens pol said.

“We find so many people who are having a mental breakdown, or people who are just trying to sleep on the train, or people who are just suffering through something in their lives,” Mamdani said in the podcast. “And instead of receiving a helping hand they were shot, they were Tased, they were killed.”

Oh shit, he actually said something completely reasonable! How fucking outrageous!

Missouri shares it's two major cities with neighboring states because Missouri loves company.

Smoke Break

I don't draw Helen enough so I figure it might be fun to make her one of Quiver's coworkers.

((Smoking is bad for you, but much like vigilante justice, and bare-knuckle street fighting, it's something I can find enjoyable in fiction.))
