Summary
I wanted to replay Inquisition, but as it turns out there is stupid level grinding and you never know what party banter you get or your computer crashes... so I decided to write it. Feel free to read along and see the game through my Lavellan's eyes.
What to expect:
- No Vivienne, i just couldn't write her, couldn't get into her character. I feel bad, but there are so many characters I love, I couldn't just shove her in, that would be rude.
- LOTS of Lavellan back story. This is my interpretation of the clan.
- The sequence of events can change based on travel times. It takes ~14 days to get to Western Approach. Traipsing back and forth is silly.
- My elvhen is bad.
- Companion plot pacing changed to be more organic. I take more liberties with the romance, but all for a good cause.-- Posting Every Three Weeks on Tuesday --
BIG thank you to @daitranscripts on tumblr. I cannot imagine how you did it, but you did and I am exceedingly grateful. Also @daydreamsonacloudyday with the travel times map and @FenxShiral with Project Elvhen. I still don't understand elvhen, but I'm using 5 different resources so something hopefully comes out okay.

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.

Project Elvhen: Expanding the Elvhen Language by FenxShiral
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games)

Summary
This is a project to create a conlang that will expand upon and deepen the Elvhen language that was created for the Bioware game series, Dragon Age. Elvhen, as it is used in the games, is a cipher, not a language. My goal is to create a complete conlang, or at least a simulated conlang, that other fans can use. The goal is to create a constructed language that is to Dragon Age what Sindarin and Quenya are to Lord of the Rings.
I do want to stress that this is a constructed language based upon the limited Elvhen we had encountered within the games. I am not using magical linguistic ninjitsu to "Figure out," the Elvhen language. In terms of the "official," language, consider this linguistic fan-fiction.
This specific work is a collection of my ongoing progress Posts, which you can find on my tumblr (Link below in the notes).

Death on the Enavuris by virshiral

Summary
‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.
Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.
As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.
