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.

Edit: Yes, this also works on mobile!

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.

this is genius!!!!

The Ending.

To begin with, ever since The Dalek Invasion of Earth Terry Nation had been moving the Daleks away from being static powered, but in both The Power of the Daleks and this story David Whitaker brings it back and actually implies that there's something more there. When Maxtible and Waterfield are telling the Doctor about their experiments in time travel they mention meddling in static electricity, and the Doctor immediately gets a bit on edge.

And has a growing sense of alarm as the conversation continues.

Later in the scene it's revealed that Maxtible and Waterfield's static experiments summoned a Dalek in a way that implies that there's some kind of deeper connection between Daleks and static than simply being static powered, almost as if the Daleks are some kind of attribute of static itself, or at the very least if you meddle with it you risk summoning them.

And going even further than that, the story shows that there's something fundamental to Daleks that's opposed to human virtues. The Doctor is able to condense all the positive parts of human nature into a physical form he deems The Human Factor (which is an amazing concept in and of itself), and from that the Daleks are able to define themselves against it and manifest their own Dalek Factor, i.e., everything opposed to those traits.

You could go as far to say that there's something almost demonic about the Daleks in this story, with them possessing control over alchemy, science, and even fundamental natural forces, by being able to define themselves by their opposition to human virtues, and being able to be summoned by a something that sounds far more like a magic ritual (144 mirrors arranged a certain way with static electricity running through them?) than a scientific invention. A large part of the plot is even started by how the Daleks struck a Faustian bargain with Maxtible to sell out the human race in exchange for hidden knowledge. They can also, for a certain definition of it, be said to possess people in this story, with the Dalek Factor literally corrupting the nature of anything it comes into contact with into that of a Dalek.

He’s dragging himself out of the river after killing Smaug, absolutely dreading the idea of having to find dry clothes and cloth padding for the bleeding.

I LOVE THIS TAG YOU LEFT SO I DREW IT!

Omfg this is absolutely amazing! I’m so honoured that my little addition made it into comic form!

Thranduil being able to smell Bard’s bleeding is hilarious. The elf does not realise how wildly invasive it is to comment on such things.

Also Bard’s reaction is so valid cause period blood does not smell good.
