the secret society of stick handlers by gurlsrool
Fandom Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Heated Rivalry (TV)
23 Apr 2026
Summary
The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.
These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.
All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.

Welcome to a story of forbidden friendship, conspiracy, and existential dread!

Summary
You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.
This is the tutorial that answers that.
A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise
Fandoms: ダンジョン飯 | Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon
15 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
[NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

24 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
A simple workskin and tutorial for including letters in a fic (with a mini fic to demonstrate!).
This workskin merges with the reader's site skin rather than overriding the text or background color (tested with both default/light mode and reversi/dark mode).

Summary
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.

How to customize the first letters and first lines in your works and in your siteskins by Goddess_of_the_arena
Fandoms: AO3 help - Fandom
14 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
This little guide will focus on the ::first-letter and ::first-line pseudo elements, suggested to me by user PeterLinderman in a comment. I experimented quite a bit on them and found out how to apply them in a lot of ways, both for workskins and siteskins.
CHAPTER 1: how to use the ::first-letter pseudo element in the whole work.
CHAPTER 2: using the ::first-line pesudo element in the whole work.
CHAPTER 3:using a different first-letter and first-line style for each chapter.
CHAPTER 4: how to have a first letter or first line in a matching text style with the line divider or blockquote.
CHAPTER 5: applying the codes to the work title, username, chapter title, summary and notes.
CHAPTER 6 (new): how to make the first letter/first line of each paragraph in a different style using the div command and the nth-child element.
CHAPTER 7 (formerly chapter 6): how to use the ::first-letter and ::first-line in a siteskin and even change the style of the work you're reading through your siteskin.Series

Summary
Explains:
● how to make a work skin;
● how to view fics' work skin rules;
● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!Full code is included.
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

“Rozanov, back up.”
“Backing up,” Ilya said evenly, “But if he touches my husband again I will explore violence.”
Shane exhaled, resigned. "You are sitting next to me for a reason.”
“Yes,” Ilya agreed. “Leash.”

There are FOSSILS less down than Rozanov. He is WHIPPED and PROUD of it.@montrealdefender
we are getting destroyed by a guy who just publicly admitted his husband controls him. this is the worst timeline.When Ottawa faces Montreal again, Shane keeps it professional. Ilya absolutely does not.
