I have an eclectic, haphazard assortment of fandoms. Sometimes I write stories, sometimes I draw stuff. Planning to start commissions soon; that'll be here: https://ko-fi.com/seraph333
In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
delete -> self explanatory
on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
Well, DATV first play through is finished. 103 hours, though at 90 I was getting rather tired of playing it. Drag-on age. Ok, but seriously, the game was lovely, lots of flashing lights and mechanics that made it dopamine-fueling from the start. I liked the mechanics of game play for the most part, and I even liked that the BBG was both ambiguous and not.
From the get go, I have been pretty clear I did not want to hate on the game. And I stayed pretty much spoiler free for the MSQ. So, if you want to click below, you can see the main choices I made as well as my overall feelings:
Solas atoned
Davrin died
Bellara got blighted (then cured)
Romanced Emmrich
Emmrich lich'd
Everyone on the Veilguard hero'd
Griffons went to Arlathan
Taash Rivaini'd (and they'd)
Harding believed in herself
Saved Minrathous
Blighted Treviso
Played a straightforward/hardline Rook the whole way through and just watched Davrin and Lucanis agree with most of my sentiments while disliking each other (until they reconciled).
Like I said, the game was bright and sparkly and lovely and I appreciated how the companions became friends over time instead of automatically these competents becoming besties overnight, but I really don't feel an emotional connection to the game.
It did not absolutely grab me the way that Origins and Inquisition did, though there were some heart wrenching moments:
Bellara and Cyrian.
Taash's SCREAM for Shathann.
Taash bouncing back up after you think they're crushed in the rubble.
When Rook and the companion surround Harding and let her know she's not alone.
Assan slow-mo flying after Davrin in the fall. Not Davrin. Assan
But for the rest of it? Shrug.
It was a sparkly and gorgeous game. I actually overall liked the pacing of the quests, but the final fight against Elgarnan did not feel that intense. Maybe I need to play on nightmare.
Even my Inquisitor showing up (a Trevelyan, not a Lavellan) and trying to talk her friend down... It did not compel me.
What are your thoughts? Link me to how you played!
babe. I know we’re all going thru a lot rn but I just wanna give u the heads up that sesame streets future is in jeopardy. hbo has chosen not to renew it for new episodes (a series that has been going since 1969) and the residents of 123 Sesame Street no longer have a home :(
n all seriousness sesame street is such an important piece of living media. it has been around for DECADES and from day 1 highlighted the importance of diversity empathy and education for children in a fun way. their mission statement is “Helping Kids Everywhere Grow Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder”. it’s been such an influence for so many people at a formative age. it’s creators made it w the intention that it could be a resource for underprivileged kids and help them prepare for kindergarten. thousands of people have learned english from our friends on sesame. pls (at media corporations) don’t let a beloved cultural phenomenon die
Felt alive today and nostalgic. Hung out with my jaw-dropping babe, @gerundsandcoffee had coffee with said babe, and played Veilguard while we caught up. Is there anything grander than peace and quiet with your bosom companion? And all the Dragon Age feels? ^^
