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.

Hey everyone,

It's Your Local Bardic entity, Gallus Rostromengalus of Bread Jesus and other Weird Tumblr Story Fame.

Despite my best efforts to mitigate mt Terrible English Dental DNA, today two of my teeth broke.

I don't even have a fun story about this, it's literally terrible genetics and stress-grinding my teeth in my sleep.

I just got back from emergency surgery to get the pieces pulled and the hole in my jaw closed so I don't get an infection, but a second reconstruction surgery to give me a bone graft and dental implants will be needed so I can actually chew and use my mouth for it's intended purposes.

I do not currently have dental insurance. I haven't talked about it here much, but my husband was unemployed after getting laid off for almost all of last year. He has a job again, but it pays like 2/3rds of his previous one and the benefits are crap. Like no dental insurance until he's worked there at least a year.

So I'm on the hook for the full cost of Today's emergency surgery, Medication, and the necessary follow-up reconstruction, which my dentist estimates will cost between $5000-$7000. Our dentist has given us every discount she can and we have a payment plan, but losing half our household income has left us with no savings and credit cards at their limits. Even though I only need to come up with $500 this month to go ahead with the reconstructive surgery, I do not have any money to spare. It will also be VASTLY cheaper overall to pay for everything up front rather than pay interest over the months with the payment plan, but literally anything will help me right now.

Thank you all so much, Gallus

I know we all joke but genuinely McLaren do the least PR w landoscar they’ve ever done and also do way less than most other teams and they actually don’t do any damage control PR it’s only ever things they’ve filmed already and were scheduled to release anyway

like for me landoscar has always been the ways they don’t do any of the typical teammate behavior or relationship development or fan relations (and I love those too don’t get me wrong !!) it’s so unique that they learn all these little things about each other but won’t queerbait and they say how they want to grow old together but they don’t make it a meme and they treated the title fight with such honesty and fairness and consideration for each other but didn’t sell that hard to Netflix

all my rpf ships are normally the combination of real life friendship but also some pandering to fans and also convenience of work friendships and combining socmed duties with fun etc

but landoscar are their own entire separate thing where they’re wildly NOT bland work only relationship and lmao they sure as shit aren’t “PR” considering they openly hate playing up to the cameras and fans and they don’t let anyone in on when they play padel or cross socialize etc but also they don’t hide the intricate subtle shifts and developments in their relationship at all and don’t wear masks in public

it adamantly does not appeal at all to wider fandom or media and barely even to their joint sponsors (ily Hilton tho u get it) but also it has such a surprisingly huge fanbase that’s so prolific and active but also doesn’t have anyone trying to erase Lily or pretend that Oscar and Lando don’t have these often very distinct and opposite social lives and in fact we revel in it bc that’s part of their charm and it’s also part of why they slot together so well bc in so many ways they’re similar and even their friends are similar but then party boy Lando can fill the entire Silverstone weekend while Oscar quietly watches from the background smiling bc he’s known this Lando since before they were teammates and Oscar does the boring sponsor stuff with Zak and Lando does the fun sponsor stuff with Zak like

What does it take to make African mythology real? Everything we had. Over 70% of our Kickstarter Backers came from Tumblr. Thank you. Now it's yours.

What would you do if you were a queer Black teen girl in the 2010s midwest that suddenly became a witch after reading from an ancient tome?

Now you've got to fight monsters , face off against an evil that's after you ... and also two vampires have feelings for you ( and they dig each other a bit too) . Check out this Black Queer YA Coming of age Magical Girl Witch in the midwest story! The Three Tomes. Live on Kickstarter Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon x Twilight and The Vampire Diaries ( minus the racism).

Too often in media, Black women and femmes are seen as disposable. They're stepping stones on the path to the " true relationship". They're the side best friend, they're killed off for the narrative.. Too often in media Black people period are questioned for why they're in fantasy, or supernatural stories. " Why is a mermaid Black?" " Why is that dwarf Black?" " Why is that knight Black?" There's rampant biphobia and questioning of people's queer idenity as nonbinary or fear of being open about your Black queerness period... Too often in media our stories as Black people are only accepted if it centers our pain. Very rarely are we given opportunity in mainstream media to have our whimsical and fun coming of age stories without black trauma at it's core. Our history is part of us, but we can have our " Juno's " , our " Twilights" , our " Hunger Games" ...etc.. too. We are able to be and should be present in all genres and tell all kinds of stories. The Three Tomes aims to dismantle all of this. It's a Queer YA coming of age story about Tammy Harris, age 17. She lives in the Chicago Suburbs and is having her own adventure and dealing with grief and change through the magical lens of witches and vampires. The story centers on her, and a host of queer black and brown characters taking the lead. A Lesbian Witch, A gay Vampire priest, a gay Vampire villian, two bi, and pan vampire boys ( tammy's love interests) and Tammy's best friend who is nonbinary and black/indian mixed. Character Bios here Black people can be whimsical, magical and we deserve to be in fantasy stories.
