LINKDING

summary: So here are my top 10 tips for ways to find what you need when AO3's tagging system has failed you. With real-life examples!

<blockquote>While AO3 has a way to click to see notes at the end, this tutorial is how you can not only have your viewers click to view certain notes, but also click back to where they had been reading before. We don’t even need to use a workskin for this, but just an implementation of simple anchor links. So whether you have a lot of references in your work or just want to let your inner Pratchettchar- loose, this is how you do it.</blockquote>

Super-simple ways to allow text selection at FF.net 2 simple methods, take your pick: Method 1) simply change the url from "www.fanfiction.net/..." to "m.fanfiction.net/...". You're done.

<blockquote>Whether in the future, the past, or the present, Kate and Cecelia are destined to have a very interesting correspondence.</blockquote> ➤ scenes from three aus. I liked the star trek and fandom aus best

<blockquote>Computron feels no emotion towards the animated television show titled Hyperdimension Warp Record (超次元 ワープ レコード). After all, Computron does not have any emotion circuits installed, and is thus constitutionally incapable of experiencing “excitement,” “hatred,” or “frustration.” It is completely impossible for Computron to experience emotions such as “excitement about the seventh episode of HyperWarp,” “hatred of the anime’s short episode length” or “frustration that Friday is so far away.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Just because Yuuri isn't big on social media, doesn't mean his fans aren't. (aka a social media fic)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Tingle balls Tingle balls Tingle all the way.... (oh, oh, oooh!)</blockquote>

<blockquote>The arrival of Star Wars: The Force Awakens made the Star Wars fandom explode earlier this year. The modern Star Wars fan is catered to not only by seemingly every kind of product with enough surface area to slap Kylo Ren on, but also by the width and breadth of the fanworks available to her. With decades of fanworks to sift through, the possibilities can seem infinite. But once she’s read her eyes out on all the Poe/Finn fic she can find and indulged in prequel fanvids set to Evanescence songs, she might have a question. Where, a new Star Wars fan might well ask, is all the Han/Luke fic?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Olly’s mastered the art of keeping his real life out of his fandom. He just wasn’t ready for the fandom collision that brings Neil into both. A tumblr AU.</blockquote> ➤ I know zero about this fandom (is there even a fandom? I wouldn't know) but I thoroughly enjoyed this fic

<blockquote>Darcy I have strong opinions Liza Benítez Nope, you are mean. Darcy I’m sure my dedication to giving you feedback is terribly offensive Liza Benítez well one day I’ll figure out your motives Darcy Will you now?</blockquote> ➤ oh no how does this au work SO WELL. It continues a little past the point where it needs to, where it's just pointless relationship fluff, but it's just YEAH.

<blockquote>Response fic to: Reblog if you’re ok with Yahoo owning tumblr since they are letting it stay indepenedant azurelunatic: … just like they did with delicious?</blockquote> ➤ because apparently I am endlessly delighted by fannish reworkings of william carlos williams, idek, I don't even like the dude's poetry

➤ further science to go with Melannen's "Science, y'all"

<blockquote>the story so far, I guess</blockquote>

<blockquote>I am the one who arranges the tags That are put on the works and and fall into bins. They come down, and I wrangle them round, And then I canonize or make them syns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Um I was writing fic but then I got distracted by this amazing link that's going around: it's a list of all the tags that are wrangled under the term "feels" at the AO3. And it's amazing. And I had to read it out loud, because it's the most beautiful piece of found poetry I've seen in ages. So I give you: feels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>This is the place where my challenge fic is going to go, but I can't put it here until it's back from beta, so until it is, here's a little story for all you electrons of the Archive who are paying so close attention to my typing and tags.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It's a big city for one more lost soul in a mask.</blockquote> ➤ I think by the end I was more engaged in the Draxie-Ghostly-Blackbindings part of the story than the Kurt/Blaine part

<blockquote>(A little piece of silliness, wherein the above summary, dubious poem below, author notes and accompanying tags are entirely composed of existing AO3 freeform tags.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>It's crunchtime for Festivids. Abed asks for Annie's help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>This is our Vividcon 2012 premiere vid which we enter in the category of... best documentary. The VVC audience summarized it as "Dubconned into feels," which pretty much is both the story of this vid and fannish life in general.</blockquote> ➤ it's sort of... a vid about fandom, and about fannish friends luring you into things?

<blockquote>Fifty years of fandom.</blockquote> ➤ as someone else has said, it is less "fandom" and more "western media fandom", but as a vid about western media fandom it is GREAT. ➤ (and the song is perfect for it)

<blockquote>Age of the geek, baby</blockquote>

<blockquote>I was arguing with someone about whether it made sense to write the Avengers as fans, realized my argument came down to "but my headcanon! it makes sense!" and decided to write this fic instead. Feel free to borrow if you need your own headcanon! Key to the references, when necessary, at end of each chapter.</blockquote> ➤ the one where Thor learns the value of the skaldic arts and Steve snuck away from the world fair to go to the first ever worldcon

<blockquote>I want to say as a first principle that almost every fic focusing on disability I’ve ever read can be understood as having some relation to service kink, whether that’s rolling around in the kink straight on (consciously or not), or subverting its usual presentation, or coming at it orthogonally from left field, or pointedly not engaging with it. Personally, I theorize this is because having a disability entails negotiating boundaries of rejecting and accepting service on a daily basis. I wanted to write about some of the ways I see this play out in intimate relationships, in fic and otherwise, because it can be a hugely complicated, thorny, sexy, unsexy, unpleasant, romantic, intimidating thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>This started in a conversation between us about how knotting without permission is practically non-con and how important it is to know exactly what you’re about to sleep with, or, as coruscera summarised it: “I'm just saying, it's good to know what you're signing up for char-beforechar- cocks are in places and shit cannot be taken back.” And then linbot realised that a bunch of truly bizarre things have happened in slash stories she’s read, so the questionnaire got longer and longer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>This quilt is called "Your Kink is Not My Kink, But Your Kink is Probably Still on This Quilt." That's YKINMKBYKIPSOTQ. I usually just call it "fuck you."</blockquote>

<blockquote>From: bailey.callendarby-gmail.com To: celladoorby-gmail.com Subject: interested in an interview? Hello, there. My name is Bailey Callendar, and I'm a writer currently working for Magpie -- we sort of fall under the "ladyblog" category, but we're a bit more diverse than that. I'm working on a story right now about slash fiction, and I'm interested in interviewing a few of the more prominent and prolific authors. I promise this isn't going to be a "oh, aren't those girls so weird and cute with their little fan stories" sort of hit piece I've seen around; I want to get a good survey of the culture and open it up to our readers. Your name's come up a lot with some of the people I've already been talking to, and I'd love to get your input. I'd just like to ask you a few things about your history with slash, your involvement in fandom, that sort of thing. Please let me know if you're interested, and if not: happy writing!</blockquote>
