My fic on tumblr All of my fic (AO3) tumblr is for passing thoughts My crochet My dw

Hi! Another coding question, hope I'm not bothering you. Do you know if there's a way to change the title line of received comments in the inbox to not only show the story they were written for but also the chapter? While posting longer stories I'm often confused about comments until I realize they're not referring to the latest chapter... XD Unfortunately, I haven't found anything about that on Google so I thought maybe you'd have an idea.

Thanks!

In terms of coding, there might be a userscript out there, but I haven't heard of one. I know it can't be done with CSS and a site skin, though.

If you want to know which chapter a comment is on, you can either use the reply link in the email notification you receive or you can click on the fic title at the top of the comment in your AO3 inbox. Both will take you to a fresh page on AO3 with just that comment on it, and the header of the comment will include the chapter number.

This is the top of my "petty annoyances with AO3" list -- why can't the email comment notifs show the chapter? When someone's going through a 30+ chapter story, I like to know where they're at.

(bonus points if the link to the fic in the notification actually linked to the chapter in question, for those authors who don't actually remember anything that happens in their own fic that they wrote and are often left wondering "huh what are they reacting to? oh! that! yeah that was cool!" 😅😅😅)

This is the longest of long shots but I have to try lol. I legit think about your Psych fic “Out Cold” all the time. Any chance you could finish it, or share anything you were planning write for it?? It’s SO GOOD. I kinda sorta neeeeeed more. xD

--This is a very belated reply, but oh wow, ahahahah, where did you even find that fic? Is it still up on ff.net? ^^;

Anyway, I'm both flattered and guilty that you still think about it! Having been haunted by a few WIPs myself, I know the feeling all too well. I actually had more of it written, but on paper, I'd have to find that notebook...no promises, but if you're still interested, I'll try to look for it!

@cosette141 @alessandriana So here's what I have! Warning that this is unedited -- last modified 2008/8/4 according to the Word doc, and I haven't reviewed it except to make sure the formatting was OK -- and incomplete. I have a single-sentence summary of what was supposed to happen after this (I am terrible at outlining 😅) and honestly don't remember where it was supposed to go otherwise (though they all made it out OK in the end, of course! My h/c fic doesn't go any other way...)

Hi! Not sure if you remember me, I asked for permission once to translate Seven Deaths, which I did! If you don't mind, would you let me translate Bound & Determined as well? I would be very grateful!

Oh yes, the Russian translation, right? You have my permission to do B&D as well -- I’ll link it on AO3 as soon as you start posting!

A drawing I did for A Thousand Thousand Years by @xparrot

It’s a fic I deeply love and pls pls everyone should go read it 😭

[xparrot]

!!! 😊😊😊

Their faaaaaaaaaaaaaaces!

Hello! My friend asked me to write to you as you don't reply on AO3. They want to make sure if you are OK with their translation of "Pandemonium". You have info in your profile as a blanket permission but with additional words. So please reply when you have time (they asked in the fic itself). Anyway, we hope you are OK. Thank you!

Ack I thought I'd answered this comment months ago! I have now, and thank you very much for letting me know. (Yes your friend has permission to translate it!)

Hi! I'm the person that wanted to make a physical copy of one of your fics. Like I said I'm kinda new at this so it's a bit rough and I'm still thinking about so the book isn't very polished but here are a few pics of the finished product minus title (I still have no idea about how to add that in a way I like lmao)

Oh wow that's so cool!! I love the feather-patterned paper and the binding itself looks so neat! Thanks for letting me see!😊

[xparrot]

Hi! I recently got into bookbinding and I wanted to keep a physical copy of my favorite fics just to be able to keep them and read them like a book if that makes sense? One of those fics was written by you so I wanted to ask if you would mind if I made it. Totally cool if you don't, just wanted to ask permission

Oh, very cool! Yeah, I’m totally fine with that, thanks for asking. If you post pics or anything of the finished book let me know, I’d love to see it!

Did these as a t-shirt design for myself, @xparrot and @cienna745 to wear to the concert. (The Jimin, Namjoon and Yoongi were so we could each wear our biases on our sleeves ^_-)

YES. Then there’s this gem:

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for

[vivaciousarcanist]

not so fast, in the review of gusteau’s anton ego compares gusteau to chef boyardee or hector boiardi with a tone implying that boyardee is dead and in history

given that gusteau died shortly after this and the will takes 2 years after death

assuming that ego’s review was the same year that boiardi died then the absolute EARLIEST the movie can take place is 1987

and about the incredibles, when looking for the scene with the newspaper i stumbled across this

a headline from 2002, and given that lawsuits generally take a while and september to december is really quick for the banning of supers so let’s say they were banned in mid 2003, at the EARLIEST incredibles can take place in 2018, with ratatouille taking place sometime in between 2003 and 2018

assuming that was a mistake, thunderhead died november 15 1958, a date where superheroes would’ve been illegal if incredibles 1 took place in 1962

and adding onto the impossibility of the date being 1962 his death is included in the shutdown reports of the national supers agency

so the year in which the movies take place is impossible to find because the staff of the incredibles couldn’t chose a date and commit to it

I take it back

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for

Hello xparrot! I'm so happy I finally managed to reach out to you. I had read your fanfic of FF8's Promise of Nightmares when I was 14... I'm 33 now and it has still stuck to me. I would just like to say thank you for making such an impact on my post-viii memories, the fondest of times in my life, and command you for such incredible writing. I don't doubt that being exposed to your work at such a formative age really influenced me in more ways that I consciously know. Thanks again.

Oh wow -- thank you so much for this! I don’t even know what to say. I’ve had stories like that for me, that meant that much to me, and it just is incredible to know I wrote one for someone else. And it’s been a while since I thought of that fic, but when I was writing it, it consumed me, I put everything into it. For a long time it was the only novel-length work I’d finished, I was proud of it and it makes me so happy to know that it was loved and is still remembered so fondly.

Thank you, this note just made my day!
