🗡️ 🦌 do u get it

So imagine you've pasted your fic into the Rich Text option at the bottom of the upload page and you want to add your annotation. (I'm using the dropdown option because it's so easy peasy and mobile friendly, but there are others.) Click the HTML button at the top-right of the Work Text section.

Find the lines of text you want to squeeze your annotation between. [Enter] to make space. And you're going to type:

<details><summary>Whatever you want the header to say</summary>Whatever you want the additional text to say</details>

(In html formatting, you'll have one command at the start telling it what to do and a second command at the end with a slash to tell it you're finished and closing out.)

So for my example if I put:

<details><summary>Side Note:</summary>I wanted to mention something here.</details>

My fic will look like this. (I use dark mode.)

And it will behave like...

Your readers can collapse it again after reading. You don't have to put header text ("Side Note:") if you think that's too distracting. Do a hyphen or something else small between the summary command if you want. Your choice.

Note that this would also be good formatting if you want to include warnings for your fic but don't want to spoil anything, thus making it optional for people to click the dropdown at their discretion.

After playing around with it a bit I've settled on this:

<details><summary>text of the paragraph</summary> <blockquote><em>annotation</em></blockquote></details>

As you can see it also works on mobile:

I added the blockquote and emphasis tags to differentiate the annotation from the rest of the text. Unlike La_Temperanza's hover method, which was mentioned most often in the notes, this one doesn't require a workskin, allows for longer commentary, and, most importantly, it works on mobile, without moving the clicked line to the top of your window!

Big caveat: <details> only works if the user is reading on ao3! If they download the fic as epub, all text will be there but only the <em> tags survive. If they download it as pdf the whole annotation vanishes and the arrow becomes unclickable!

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

- it’s ok to be on-time

- you’re allowed to be at the stop at the time you’re meant to be there

- people won’t be upset if, when you get to the bus stop, you stop and let them onto the bus instead of making direct eye contact and driving away without stopping at the bus stop
