For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

thank you @bugswarm for pointing out my syntax error! to filter for works that have more than one chapter, you should use either

expected_number_of_chapters: >1

or

-expected_number_of_chapters: 1

Phil and his Northern anecdotes

It makes me feel a little insane to think about how cave paintings and stone carvings are the iceberg of paleolithic art. Those are the artworks we associate with their time period because they're the only thing that survived long enough for us to see. So much of human history has literally rotted away.

I think about this all the time. Folks think of their Work as a kind of legacy, and it is! But it, like the huge majority of art over the course of human history which has faded from the world, it will eventually be gone. Sooner or later, one way or another. All of the many lifetimes of thought, feeling, and effort that went into the works of art that HAVE survived thus far, and all those that will occur in the future - none of them will last forever.

Sad to think about, but wonderful that we get to experience them in the meantime. Anyway, speaking of experiencing things in the meantime, please experience my favorite painting of a bear ever made.

[ID: a cave painting from the Chauvet-Pont-D'Arc cave in modern-day France, of a bear. It is depicted as a line drawing in red, facing to the left. Its eyes and lower body are not included. It is smiling slightly, and a smudge of red defines the nose. End.]
