#html tryhard

this fic starts on the 25th day of the Romance Route and has three "romance" options to choose from and seven total endings. i wanted to add more routes and endings but i ran out of time...

why did i do this? i've asked myself that same question every day for the last two months. how did i do this? with a lot of crying and banging my head against the wall. how long did this take? i do not know. too long. a very long time. still, it turned out pretty slick! im mostly proud of it.

read it (play it?) on AO3:

WE'RE BACK with HTML Tryhards 2026! 

HTML? What's that?

HTML is a markup language used to tell a web browser how to display content. You might be aware of simple uses of HTML, such as <b>bold</b> and <i>italics</i> but HTML can be used to do so much more! Do you like r/AITA stories? Have you ever been interested in including realistic text messages into your fics? Did you like choose-your-own-adventure books as a kid? HTML can be used for all of that and more!

Join us for HTML Tryhards 2026, where we bully our friends (and you? 👀) into making fanfiction super extra shiny using the power of HTML.

What does HTML have to do with fanfiction?

AO3 is a fanfiction hosting platform that supports the use of HTML, and that's where submissions for this event should be posted. We have a collection for you to post to, but please use the #HTML Tryhard tag on your work as well! 

If you post about your submissions on Tumblr, @ this blog or use the tag #htmltryhard2026, and we'll reblog you.

Rules

Submissions must include a significant portion of HTML. We'd prefer the entire work be HTML, but mixed prose and HTML is also acceptable.

Submissions MUST be HTML and not images or screenshots of text logs/tweets/etc.

There is no required minimum word count, but the suggested minimum word count is 500 words.

HTML/CSS guides are accepted (and encouraged!) as submissions.

Submissions should include the #HTML Tryhard tag on AO3.

Submissions should be added to the collection on AO3.

You can start posting submissions February 16th, and the last date of the event is February 22nd, though the collection will still be open after that date if your projects end up running late.

Follow us!

Rated: T Pairing: Tim Drake/Jason Todd Summary:

Jason works alone, he doesn't need help. He doesn't need Tim butting in on his cases and he especially doesn't need some unknown number telling him what to do.

I'm excited to publish my CSS found-phone fic I Don't Think We're Ready for the Takeoff on AO3 as part of the 2025 KPDH Fest!

Take a secret look into the demonic machinations behind a plot to kill HUNTR/X that is at once much better and much worse than Jinu's ridiculous "Kpop boy band" idea.

a Slay the Princess style "Jason's attack on Titan's Tower" fic
