Summary
Add a direct link to comment on a chapter that looks like a real A03 button!
Right now, if a user is reading in "entire work" the easiest way to comment on a chapter is to open the next chapter in a new tab, then go back a chapter, click comments, and then leave a comment. Readers who downloaded a work have even more hoops to jump though.
This is a guide to making a direct link to the feedback section so that our readers can give us some. It uses AO3's default CSS classes to piggyback on the archive formatting our reader is using, making it look like an official A03 button on the web. (CSS formatting does not carry-over if the work is downloaded, but the link will remain.)

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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
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.

Two of the five times Julian Bashir obtained a medical license, the time he lost one, and the things that came after.

The day Anne Yum won Can't Stop the Quiz should have been the best day of her life. But before she could start living it, she had to get through another 92 episodes.
A post-movie coda about Anne, and Jenny, and maybe (if you squint) finding yourself and avoiding blood clots.

Meet The Guardians by Grundy
2199633At some point post-cannon, the guardians of the galaxy decide to rob Slayers HQ. Dawn POV. Everyone is the exact sort of asshole they should be.
Grabbing a crossbow, Dawn headed down to do what she did best- stall for time until a Slayer showed up. She just hoped Faith wasn’t otherwise occupied. Buffy was out of town.
When she got to the vault entrance, she stopped in shock.
“Shit,” she exclaimed, not caring that she was giving away any element of surprise. “I’ve finally lost it. There is no way a raccoon and a potted plant are trying to pull a heist.”

Summary
About the size of a turkey, the velociraptors were basically feathery coyotes with sickle claws. The little buggers were escape artists too, and managed to escape their enclosure at least once every week. Once free they would usually venture into the guest areas and raid the garbage cans, beg tourists for food, and try and lure the pigeons into a false sense of security by fluffing their feathers and pretending to peck at the ground.
The Other Velociraptors on the other hand, were six foot tall, super intelligent, scaly freaks of nature that only existed because the science department was a bunch of nerds. Surprisingly however they were much better behaved than their smaller, more natural counterparts. Too bad the chief of security was an asshole, and their trainer had a habit of getting drunk and teaching them things they really shouldn't know.

The Trouble with Velociraptors by Feneris
17422232If Jurassic park were about 10x more like a regular zoo, only the experimental velociraptors were smarter than your average bear… (and Administrator’s POV of the fiasco.)
When Sasha Deling had first started working for Prehistoric Paradise dinosaur theme park, she had thought her job would involve things like escaping velociraptors.
She was right.
However instead of screaming people running in terror from prehistoric killing machines, there was garbage scattered across the food-court and people complaining to management.
About the size of a turkey, the velociraptors were basically feathery coyotes with sickle claws. And like coyotes, the raptors had adapted very well to human presence. After all, a sickle claw was perfect for disemboweling garbage bags, half-eaten fish sticks didn’t fight back, and tourists would just give your food if you looked at them and made the right noises

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio
Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on original characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries

You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take by Kitsune_Scribe
53487418Wedge and Tycho talk shit about Luke and Leia. (The rebellion runs on gossip and rouge squadron being rogue squadron.)
"Well, that's just rude. Also factually untrue. If she can fall for one devilishly handsome Correllian smuggler and pilot, she can fall for another. The blood stripe can't be what won her over."

A Letter from “Crawly” to Azirapil by mostlydeadlanguages

Summary
This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex. Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. “Crawly,” it appears to be begging for the other’s return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham. The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown.

A Letter from “Crawly” to Azirapil by mostlydeadlanguages
19730593Does what it says on the tin. Superbly … creating an actual clay tablet is an admirable commitment to the bit, and the story is amusing in the style of the book.
