I write my fics out in Google Docs and then paste the text into Ao3 when I'm ready to post it. Does anyone else have the problem of pasting with italics? If there's a word in italics next to punctuation, Ao3 will add in a space for some reason and it's kind of infuriating.
One of the AO3 translation volunteers (Min) created a Google Docs script to handle issues when copying from a doc into AO3. It’s really easy to use
create a copy of this google doc. It contains the script that will do all of the HTML formatting for you.
Delete all of the text from the document.
Write or paste your fic/chapter into the document.
Go up to the top menu and click the new menu option Post to AO3, then choose Prepare for posting into the HTML editor
Note: because this is an apps script, you’ll need to give it permission to run the first time.
The script will automatically mark up your document with the required HTML that you can then paste into the AO3 composition window. \o/
To revert your text back to normal, just go back up to that menu and choose Remove HTML. It will look like regular text again.
Once you have the doc, you can make a new copy of it for each new fic you write and that way you’ll always have that script available when you need it :)
For other cool stuff, read this post from @ao3org - which is where I found this script in the first place ❤
rejection sensitivity is so fucking lame. like boo hoo look at me i felt mildly ignored for 30 seconds and already started planning my own funeral liKE BITCH CHILL it was never that serious
😭 for Vax
Oh boy, just like Kiki I have a lot for Vax too. Saddest one? I think it might be how do to how stress and emotionally destructive his job is The Matren locks his emotions away but not completely like as soon as he starts to feel strongly about something it is immediately pushed down and trapped, the best way I can explain how it'd feel would be like taking a med to help with your anxiety but all it does is blur your reaction to things and still let's you have an internalized panic attack (yes something like this happened to me hense me being specific:'3) when Vax is for the lack of better wording on break the walls the Matren put up fall and it kind of hits him all at once. Luckily those who've cared for Vax and have already died are there for him and help him recover, like his mom just hugs him and sings him a song she used to sing to him and Vex
it IS super funny that orv starts out like "hoo hee i'm just a normal self-inserty power fantasy protagonist! my name is literally 'reader!' just an office worker turned action hero you can project onto slash look up to 🥰" and then very quickly shows that 1. no the fuck he isn't and 2. the story is a detailed interrogation of the nature of self-insert escapist power fantasy. and then the endgame twist that hits you like an emotional freight train is that orv is, in fact, actually very much a self-insert story about how you 🫵 are deeply loved and your survival matters so much that this book was written just to help you find reasons to live. idiot.
Here’s the new 24 hour comic I drew this year! This one is called THE KING’S FOREST. cw: blood, violence

If anyone has advice on how to not get flustered/have your brain short circuit everytime someone compliments you that'd be appreciated
The only way John can beat Dirk in Lazer tag.
If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.
Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”
I hope this is helpful to you.
Anyways I'm back here because I've decided it's time to just be a chaotic little guy again till I inevitably forget this exists
You ever just have the realization one of your friends didn't have to survive one of the "cringe" fandoms from the mid 2010s? Yea
