I had five ideas, I wrote two, now I have seven
Listen. They’re called “plot bunnies” for a reason, and it’s not just because they hop around all over your brain demanding attention.

"Have you made any progress?”
“How close are you to being done?”
*sits down to write a smut fic* The plot of this smut fic is that Character A believes himself abandoned by God.

the official US government travel recommendation/information regarding Russia and LGBTQ individuals in 2014/2017 (shout out archive.org) (this is the only piece of legitimate research on here; I'll put the info in a reblog if you're interested)
I read the entire Wikipedia list of American (and German) serial killers for a half sentence reference that I will ended up cutting bc it didn't work and sounded forced--so long, research on Warren Harris.
I also read the entire Wikipedia list of deaths by hanging (with some side dips into (auto) erotic asphyxiation; and also a Korean actress’ suicide that had a whole number of copycat suicides)
Sada Abe. Google her for a wild wikipedia read.
this being Heated Rivalry fanfic, TIL that Chester Bennigton’s death was a. by hanging; and b. happened almost exactly one month after the when the irl 2017 NHL award show had been. Make of that what you will.

US Travel Advisory reg. Russia research:
-> Today/Apr 2026:
https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories/russia.html
Subsection: Gay and lesbian travelers "The Russian government's "propaganda" law bans discussion of gay and lesbian topics. The community has been labeled as “extremist,” and it is considered a crime to support the human rights of gay and lesbian people in Russia. Displaying certain symbols, including the rainbow flag, is a crime. Foreigners found guilty of violating this law may be arrested and detained for up to 15 days and then deported."
-> Wayback Machine for 2017:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170701011758/https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/country/russia.html
"LGBTI Travelers: Russian law bans providing "the propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" to minors. Foreign citizens face fines, up to 15 days in jail, and deportation. The law is vague as to what Russia considers propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.
Discrimination based on sexual orientation is widespread in Russia. Acts of violence and harassment targeting LGBTI individuals occur.
Government officials have made derogatory comments about LGBTI persons.
Violence against the LGBTI community has increased sharply since the law banning propaganda was passed, including entrapment and torture of young gay men by neo-Nazi gangs and the murder of multiple individuals due to their sexual orientation.
There have been credible reports of arrest, torture, and extrajudicial killing of gay men in Chechnya allegedly conducted by Chechen regional authorities."
-> through Wayback Machine as well; at least in 2017, the US did in fact have a separate „LGBTI travel information“ page: https://web.archive.org/web/20170630231131/https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/lgbt.html

Summary:
But this.
Look, he wasn’t sure what he really was expecting to find, what he would learn from all this. Aside from the stupid, resilient, impossible hope that maybe everything would be alright, the irresistible unrealistic fantasy of everything being all sunshine and rainbows instead of just the confirmation of how bad professional hockey really was, from direct bigotry to the massive gaping maw of nothing, the guttural noise of silence.
It was fine. It’s fine. But mostly, it was a lot. So it took him a bit to sort through all of them—report and block the death threats, the dick pics, the assholes, leave the nice ones to reply to or just send a simple heart back in response, and move on—and so it was a couple days until he realised Rozanov had also messaged him. 41 messages by Ilya Rozanov, hitting his exposed body like gunshots, finally penetrating his armour, crawling through the tattered remains and hooking into his core.
Or; Scott Hunter vs. the world in his wake.
HELLO I know you only really know me (if you do) as a commentor on your stuff but I have a um...coding question? Lmao.
How do you code your drop down arrow for your content warnings in your notes??
I never remember what warnings I need so I forget to add them but i was gonna try to go back and do so.
Hey! Of course I recognize the name from my comments (which I'm admittedly behind in replying, currently tapping away at them while I wait in the airport). Hope you're doing well!
So for anyone else seeing this, they're asking how I add my "click to reveal" content warnings in the beginning notes of my fics, which I like to do for long fics where there are elements that could do with some extra heads up or don't merit a full tag in ao3.
They look like this:
So this is actually really simple to add as I just I use the <details> tag in html. No work skins for this one! Here's a snippet of how I use it for my content warnings, the text in red is what you can replace with whatever you like:
<details>
<summary><b>Click for content warnings (possible spoilers)</b></summary>
- Warning 1
- Warning 2
- Warning 3
</details>
You can put pretty much anything in that space between the </summary> tag and the </details> tag, but that's the format I use.
It also won't read aloud for screen readers unless they actually click it, which is good. Though for whatever reason when I download the file as an epub it will read them out even though I can't click to reveal them in the file, but this might be dependent on the type of TTS used.
Hope this helps!
hi! sorry if this has already been asked, but pretty please how did you do the super cool html for the pop-up boxes in discordant that let us read translations for the eridian stuff??
im forever in awe of your formatting for this fic with all the media stuff and i loved the translation boxes, they're such a good idea for eridian / english language barrier things (and also bloodymary language barrier, which i may be trying to write..) specifically how did you get the box to extend the screen Only when the relevant text is being hovered over, then revert back to a fixed position after? and not make the fic awkward to scroll through with it sliding to the extra space on the right unnecessarily?
sincerely, a humble ao3 writer who has no idea how html and coding works <3
Oh, of course! Okay, little HTML code crash course for pop-up text boxes (that work via hovering on pc and via tapping on mobile!)
So! You want to make a little textbox to help clarify details about certain words in your writing. Let's say you want to define a word for your audience. We can do that easily, like in the example below:
And hovering:
The code for this is, thankfully, relatively simple.
If you do not already, create a workskin that you can apply to your fic. Then, into that workskin, you are going to add the following css code (included as text below the 'read more' so you can just copy-paste from there):
For customization:
The underline beneath the word that can be hovered over is colored by 'border-bottom.' If you want to change the color, find the hexcode of the color that you want (just use google's color wheel) and replace #058fff with it.
The background of the textbox is determined by 'background-color' (currently #c5d2f0)
The gradient that I use is determined by 'background: linear-gradient.' The color the gradient starts as comes first (#bff0e3) and the one it ends as comes second (#cbb6fd)
The gradient will always overpower the plain background color, which I have in my code for redundancy. If you do not want a gradient and just want a solid background color, simply remove the gradient line of code.
The color of text within the textbox is determined by 'color' (currently #1e3a2f)
For a larger or smaller textbox, adjust 'width' (now 240px)
Once this is in your workskin, you can use it within your fic. This has to be done within the HTML editor of the fic, NOT the Rich Text editor.
Find the text that you want to be able to hover over and replace it with the following:
<span class="show">Hover This Word<span class="hide">This is the hidden text that pops up inside the box.</span></span>
Then insert the appropriate information (change 'Hover This Word' to the word you want showing, change the second part to what you want in the box).
Altogether in a paragraph within the HTML editor, it might look like this:
<p>This is regular text, but <span class="show">Hover This Word<span class="hide">This is the hidden text that pops up inside the box.</span></span> the rest of the sentence continues here.</p>
Keep in mind, I am not phenomenal at code. There are as many redundancies as I could manage within this, but occasionally there will be some cutoff at the edges of the page to ensure that there isn't overflow. Ao3 can't dynamically fix this because all screen sizes are different. However, this has all worked pretty well for me thus far.
I hope this is helpful, and that you are able to use it within your own fics! Let me know if you have any more questions as to how it works or how to use it, I would happy to answer to the best of my ability!
CSS Code for Workskin Below (for copy-pasting):
rest in peace to this diva
god I have so much respect for people who make whole ass social media fics and people who made the workskins because dear lady god why have I been spending almost three hours since last night attempting to understand css and html because my perfectionism is kicking my ass and not letting the tiny imperfection of the verified checkmark go so here I am trying to troubleshoot and fix the singular positioning issue when everything else is working perfectly and looking good and I haven’t even done a final read/edit of the fic I’m trying to post yet
i hate that when you try and look up shit for writing purposes it starts linking suicide hotlines and addiction advice articles like bro i just wanna know the information im not killing myself i promise. now tell me what i wanna know
one of these days I’m gonna remember to make a proper list of all the random shit I research for a half sentence reference or the rabbit holes I end up in when fic writing (shout out to Sada Abe)
fanfic writing/research notes be like--
I have mastered the art of being hard on myself for things I would tell anyone else are not that deep
i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom
as well as the three laws of fandom:
Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship
📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣
NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.
I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.
This but also:
Frames this entire post and hangs it over the fireplace.
okay but is there a canon tag on ao3 for ace author writing smut because i am nothing if not a stereotype
