That's because this is Silmarillion
"can mutuals DM you?" Is this a joke, I'd rub up on some of them like a cat.
In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.
I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!
From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!
I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.
The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.
(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)
If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.
The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.
- insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
- add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
- delete -> self explanatory
- on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic
The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.
Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
HERE'S THAT BITCH IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
FOR ANYONE THAT USES MOBILE SAFARI
install UserScripts from the app store, follow the steps to add it as an extension to safari, open the code in a tab on safari, open the userscripts extension, select the option to add the script, then go back to your ao3 tab and refresh. et voila. I did find that the โinsert selectionโ part didnโt really work? but the floating minimize-able comment box part? yes it doooo
cake is such an underappreciated band. i canโt believe we brought back low rise flare jeans before we brought back cake in the top 40
iโm just saying cakeโs music would be widely regarded as so sexy if it wasnโt for all the mariachi horns and vibraslap and the vocalist didnโt always sound like he was explaining his suicide plans to a gun store clerk in sacramento. the world wasnโt ready for them
The fact that it sounds like a dispassionate reading of a terrorist manifesto is a feature
tumblr is the best site bc it got baddies living like complete incels
reblog to give the pervious person a nice rock
Iโm going a bit crazy today m
[ID: a digital illustration of Laios from Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon. The composition frames him inside a stomach with a red interior surrounded by black space. He is curled up inside it with his back down and his legs up in the air, feet up against the stomach wall. He has the Mad Sorcerer's spellbook held open close to his face, obscuring it. The image is rendered primarily in red and green tones aside from the spellbook and some highlights, which are pale blue. A screentone texture is applied to the illustration. In the top right, red text in all caps reads "dungeon meshi", with most of the 'm' being obscured by Laios's foot. End ID] Id credit to : @dracudyke
hell yea man flip that mushroom !!!!!
The way this lined up so many references I know feels like some bullet bending nonsense.
and if you feel comfortable sharing what song(s), let us know in the tags!
it's me and my unhealthy sleeping schedule against the world
Adhd will have you too burnt out to eat or shower but give you the hubris to decide you can homebrew an entire d&d system on the back of a receipt
just curious as they're always things i've never questioned just doing but people in my life are often surprised that i don't mind doing them alone
๐ pls reblog for sample size

Harrow is so vampire coded in GTN, she doesn't eat food, she has to bring dirt from her home with her on the shape ship, the blood sweat, goth, Gideon only knows she sleeps bc her bedding will be rumpled slightly different each day (perchance she sleeps during the day when Gideon is out ๐ค), I'm sure there's other details I'm forgetting. All this to say Tazmuir I know you have a vamp au hidden somewhere on your computer, you don't have to hide it, throw that bad boy up on ao3
