Video has no sound and shows the comment box at the bottom of an AO3 fic, with a site skin applied.
The skin has outlined the fic in a thick pink border with rounded corners. The page has bright blue and white stripes. The footer is pastel pink. The comment box has a scalloped purple border around the outside, purple text, and a purple comment button.
The text area where a comment will be typed has a thick purple border with rounded corners, and the text box has a background in which the top left and bottom right corners are light pink and dark pink check. The middle of the comment text box (on an angle from top right to bottom left) is white with a wavy border that cuts into the checker patterns.
When the user taps into the comment box to type, the background changes to a solid white and the user types with black text. End video description.
i'm still working on this skin, and I just learned how to do a new thing tonight :D

I don't remember the last time I was quite this excited about a skin that I'm making. I have no idea if all of this will end up in the final version, but I'm just having so much fun with seeing what I can actually do that I wanted to share some work in progress shots.
(honestly? the hardest part has been finding the images. any tips on where to get medieval illuminated artwork would be much appreciated!)
In the first image, the AO3 title and the lady/dragon are separate images so on a desktop monitor the AO3 part is on the left and the dragon piece is on the right.
Editing to add the github link: get the skin here!
Been using this skin for a while and it's lovely! But lately there seems to be a problem with an element on the work page. There's the picture of the scribe in the stats/tag box that gets repeated below in the work text, and I can't figure out how to remove him without removing the stats/tag box image as well. Unfortunately he's obscuring the text... Any pointers? (Screenshot to illustrate.)
as part of tumblr's aging userbase, I'm going to take a moment and shoutout my new glasses which are 'office progressives'
if you're in the bifocal club and you're constantly annoyed by trying to find the right angle for the computer work or crafting that you're doing, I recommend talking to your optometrist. seriously lifechanging shit.
If you have several connected ideas that don't quite work as a regular multichap story but also don't quite feel like a series, a 5+1 style of fic might work for you.
In general, the fic is six chapters long (although you can format it however you'd like if that doesn't work for you). It chronicles 5 times that one thing happened and 1 time that something else happened instead.
For example: 5 times A and B didn't kiss... and one time they did.
It's an easily recognizable structure for many and it's a handy way for writers to get to "the good bits" without agonizing over transitions etc. in between. Each chapter hits with the power of a oneshot, but you still get the build up and release of a multichapter fic.
You don't have to follow the numbers exactly. 5+1 is just the most common format.
If you want some examples, check out the nearly 70K fics tagged with 5 Things (and synonyms). If you want to dig into the history, checkout the fanlore page.

every once in a while I remember that there are people who came to AO3 from video game fandoms, where they were set up to think "rated E for everyone" - except on AO3 it's
AO3 tag wranglers have canonized some new "No Fandom" additional tags and revised subtag and metatag relationships of existing "No Fandom" canonical tags. Check out the latest news post for details: https://otw-news.org/2wdv4dm5

The makers of Kinktober 2025 are back again with a brand new list! The graphics are once again created by latte-cucumber. Check out our AO3 collection, or keep reading for more information.
More information
Kinktober is a kinky October prompt challenge that’s been running in one form or another since 2016. There are three prompts for each day in October, and the challenge is to use one (or more!) of the prompts to create something for that day. If you don’t want to use any of the three daily prompts, you can swap them out for the bonus prompts at the bottom of the prompt list.
If you have any questions, check our FAQs. Unfortunately, due to personal commitments, we won't be opening our askbox for questions this year. We've made it as rules-light as possible, though, so if your question is "Can I do this?", the answer is almost certainly yes!
