Hey! So I mentioned a while ago that I have a custom workskin to make my Magnus Archives fics with transcripts look more like the transcripts at The Magnus Archives Transcripts Archive, and never got around to showing how. So now I am!
With this workskin, you'll turn transcript fics that look like this:
Into this!
Link to my fic "Just a Rumour" to see the live example, no content warnings in these first two chapters, but rating may eventually change.
Here's how you can apply this to your own fic. Steps are listed below the cut:
1. Make a workskin.
For this step, I'll refer you to the ao3 guide on how to create workskins. Make a new one, or add the following code between the dashes below to your existing skins.
Once you've made your workskin, follow the steps in the included link to add that workskin to the fic you want to apply this style to.
2. Tell the fic where to apply the style
The document above also explains this, but just so you can see the actual steps here:
In your fic, under the html editor view, add
<div class "transcript">
To the front of the text that will be in this format (it may not be the entire fic! You can have it in the middle of regular prose if you like).
At the end of the section that will be in the format, close it off with
</div>
Now just save your draft and confirm that it's working! If it looks off, double check your html, make sure it took and didn't delete itself or isn't misspelled.
And btw, readers who may not like this format can turn it off themselves with the Hide Creator's Style button, so this is optional for readers! It also works well with screen readers as-is.

Summary:
Tim (increasingly more concerned): Did you catch the flu that's been going around?
The Archivist: No, it's justâ just my tonsils.
[There is a pause.]
Tim (confused): Your tonsils?
[The Archivist clears his throat again.]
The Archivist: Yes, I believe it's tonsillitis. (Under his breath) Again.
