#comment box

[fantasticcolordaze]

Okay so for a comments scroll box, this works on ao3, Superlove, squidgeworld and Ad Astra btw

the code is

div#feedback {

position: sticky;

bottom: 9px;

margin: auto;

z-index: 20;

}

#feedback textarea.comment_form{

min-height: 5em;

}

#kudos {

display: none

}

Or

div#feedback {

position: sticky;

bottom: 9px;

margin: auto;

z-index: 20;

}

#feedback textarea.comment_form{

min-height: 5em;

}

The bottom one will display all the names + guests who left a kudos, the top one won't. It works with other skins and all devices. You can play around with it if you want different height.

happy sts! what’s one thing (an idea, an event, a trope, etc) that you’ve never explored before (or don’t want to explore) in your stories? why?

Thank you for the ask! There's probably a lot of ways I could answer this question. I think time travel is the biggest one I don't want to explore. I have a tendency to fall down rabbit holes thinking of consequences with only 1 timeline in play. I'd never finish anything if I had more. Even though it's in a lot of superhero stories, I just don't jive with the plots that come with it. The closest I've gotten to it was the idea that the annual time traveler's convention should be a place instead of an occasion.

Happy STS, friend! If you had to plop your plot & characters into a different genre, which would you pick and why?

Thank you for the ask! This is an interesting question. I think we'd have to go with a film noir mystery. The superpowers are great, but they're not as crucial as the characters. Plus, Finder is already a part-time PI. We'd get some good character development, some nice crying scenes, and fun gangster lines.

Happy STS!

What do you consider vital to your writing process? Maybe it’s your favorite pen, a special writing place, a scented candle…what do you need to have a successful writing session?

Paper. Paper and writing by hand makes the words so much better than drafting on a screen. I don't know why it makes such a big difference but it does. I get real particular about my writing instruments (I've been using my fountain pens more and more exclusively), but if I really need to, I can get by with writing with a cheap ball point. Paper is non-negotiable.

Thank you for the ask!

When told to stop over thinking a person will respond in one of two ways:

1) Take a deep breath and stop

2) Continue to over think with the added flavor of worrying that they're thinking about it too much

And one from the list :D

10 Do you like to share whenever you have a new idea for you story? Or do you prefer to keep (some) thing private/secret?

Thank you for the ask! I love talking about ideas! I don't always put them on my blog, but I do have some worldbuilding posts buried in here. It's hard to tell what people want to know though, especially with a WIP that is in the really early stages. The only thing I can't or won't share is stuff related to plot points.

What settings or vibes do you find yourself coming back to and writing again and again? If you'd like, please provide receipts.

A lot of what I write ends up split between medieval castle towns and regular everyday cities. Pretty much everything has at least a little fantasy thrown in. I also end up with a lot of science labs and alchemy as background elements somehow.

As for vibes, I don't think I've really narrowed anything down quite yet. I think the recent stuff I've written has been fairly casual with bits I find funny intermixed. I wouldn't call it humor though because I don't think everyone would think of it as funny. A couple examples of those bits that come to mind are from the scene I wrote in response to a writing prompt this week.

"Six hours later, Villain and I were in tears.

“That was so bad!” I laughed. “Why did you make me watch that?”

“I’m a supervillain.”'

"'Again, I don’t understand why this has to stop. You had fun today!' Villain was pouting.

Their face, in that outfit, did things to me when they pouted. Now was not the time. Be serious. No laughing."
