Trying my Best to Write:)

So I'm usually not much of a fanfic reader, but @jacepens wrote an absolutely FANTASTIC LAL one that goes so hard and I highly recommend it (especially if the concept of vampire Mad Dog interests you at all :D)

This is so beautiful and well done, and I’m just so honored that you enjoyed my fic enough to make art for it!! I love the colors so so much, it’s exactly how I pictured this scene too gosh.

Hey, if you're a fic writer and a character speaks in a different language, you don't just have to add the translation in the notes. Use the following HTML coding to add 'text on hover' to the word(s). If the reader is on a computer they can hover over the text to see the translation.

<div title="This is the text in the box!">This is the text that shows in your fic!</div>

Here are some examples from a fic on my AO3.

This coding here <div title="a fool, idiot (lit. emptyhead)">Eyn utreekov</div> will show this on hover.

This next example shows that you can add a lot of text. The formatting is the same as above.

Here's an addition of how to add a footer that brings you to the end notes and then has another link to bring you back to the spot that you were reading (this works when downloaded as a PDF or EPUB).

This goes in the work HTML; <a href="#definition1" name="definition">¹</a>

This goes in the Author Endnote (or wherever you want it really); <a name="definition1"></a>1. Translation text here <a href="#definition">Back</a>

It will look like this on AO3. And when you press the superscript, you will be taken to the endnotes. At the endnotes, there will be a link that takes you back to the exact place of the superscript.

Above is an example from a guide I made yesterday after the engagement on this post and reblogs such as the one I'm responding to. It goes into alternative HTML and some other basics.

AO3 also has some HTML stuff in their FAQ: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/formatting-content-on-ao3-with-html?language_id=en

Also, in regards to accessibility. Screen readers will only read what is present on the screen, so the hover over text will not be read. I'd highly recommend using footers or just making sure to have your definitions in your author notes or story in alternative ways.

Footers are also more mobile/tablet friendly since they do not have cursors to hover with. But footers can be tapped and used :D

So peaceful and cozy…just taking a little nap with my friend Pidgey. It also just feels more representative of my writing these days

It comes from the new Bulbasaur card from the Stellar Crown series

Chapters: 4/6 Fandom: Live A Live (Video Game) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Mad Dog/Sundown Kid (Live a Live) Characters: Mad Dog (Live a Live), Sundown Kid (Live a Live), Annie (Live a Live), Sheriff (Live A Live), Barkeep (Live A Live), Original Characters Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Vampire, Blood Drinking, Light Angst, Canon-Typical Violence, Vampire Turning, Homoeroticism, vampire powers, Vampire!Mad Dog, a light sprinkle of, Mutual Pining, Now with more plot!, Success in Trouble, Slow Burn, Fights, Emotional Hurt, Anxiety, Overstimulation, No one is properly dealing with their emotions let alone naming them Summary:

After being mysteriously turned into a vampire, Mad Dog finds he doesn’t exactly hate all of his new abilities. It can be annoying sometimes, that’s for sure, but he’s more focused on finding where The Sundown Kid has been hiding for months now. It makes sense that he’d turn up right outside of Success, and Mad Dog’s never been more excited to challenge him to a duel. Mad Dog only wanted to beat him, turn him in for the money, and accomplish his years long dream, but things can never go according to his plan, can they? And soon any plans of his are further destroyed by the new threat looming over the town of Success. A threat backed by powers that may prove too strong for the inhabitants to fight without the help of The Sundown Kid and Mad Dog both changed by forces greater than them.

New chapter!! Yay!!:) I mention it in the fic, but I also re-edited the previous chapter to just be a better read overall and fix some out-of-character things. This chapter is Mad Dog only haha, sorry Sundown, but we get lots of info about vampires;)
