    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.

    Summary

    “I suppose I can escort you there,” they say, closer than they’d ever been before, the sound of their voice right against his ear involuntarily sending a shiver up his spine. “Given your status as an esteemed guest and all.”

    Akira scowls. Instinctively drawn to resist, he begins the motion to wrangle his arm free from them, but finds himself freezing as he finally looks at the stranger’s face.

    His face.

    Because despite the fact that his hair is now shock white and his eyes are glowing a pale yellow, there is no world where Akira Kurusu would not immediately recognize Goro Akechi.

     

    (or: two years after Akechi's disappearance, Akira finds a familiar face in the Velvet Room.)

    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.

    Summary

    Goro Akechi survived. And now he has to make the most out of the life given to him, whatever that means. Unable to express what's really on his mind, Goro's doctor recommends keeping a journal of sorts.

    *Light Companion Piece to "Sorry, we missed you," told in Goro's POV. Very slow burn.
    *Ignores Scramble/Strikers but still Post Royal-ish
