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!

HTML Element Referency by Category

<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>

<blockquote>The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a set of symbols that linguists use to describe the sounds of spoken languages. This page lets you hear the sounds that the symbols represent, but remember that it is only a rough guide. There is lots of variation in how these sounds are said depending on the language and context. For example, in English voiceless plosives usually end with a puff of air called aspiration, but the voiceless plosives on this page aren't aspirated. Click on a symbol to hear the sound it represents.</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>The author says that we may pronounce the names as we please, but many readers wish to know how she pronounces them. Without getting too finicky, this is to give an indication of the syllables which are more emphasized and the approximate values of the vowels and consonants of most of the names used in the Vorkosigan universe of Lois McMaster Bujold. Brief identifications will include the work in which the person or place principally appears, if it appears little outside of that work</blockquote>

<blockquote>A helpful key to why you are not doing that thing you know you are supposed to be doing. Inspired by the large variety of Tumblr posts on the theme "you are not lazy, it's X!" that I've seen recently all of which I have thought "oh, that's me!" to at least once while reading tumblr instead of doing the thing.</blockquote>

tenlittlebullets: <blockquote>If you suspect a word’s meaning has shifted since the 19th century and modern-day dictionaries aren’t turning up results that make sense, look it up in this database and it will give you a bunch of different dictionary entries from the 17th through the 20th centuries.</blockquote>

➤ yeah whatever I keep bookmarking art resources against the day when I might get around to learning and here's another one, a free art software that can take the place of photoshop, I hear good things about it. (probably I'll never get around to learning art BUT A PERSON CAN HOPE)

<blockquote>If anyone’s trying to learn a language I’ve recently discovered this company called the Language Pod Company and it is so much better than Rosetta Stone and it’s completely free (unless you’d like one-one-one teacher-student help then it’s like $25 a month which tbh you shouldn’t really need because they make it really clear in the lessons). It’s super easy to navigate and it even gives you a history of the language. There are audio and video lessons. Real-life situations and different speakers. They even write the letters for you because I know sometime it’s hard to learn to write in a language that doesn’t use the same alphabet that you’re used to. You’re welcome. </blockquote>

<blockquote>We tend to have this idea that categories, like "bird" or "food" (or like "human" or "white", which is what this is all really about) are like solid boxes. Entities are either in them or out of them, with a clear and unchanging boundary, and everything inside is an unsorted & equal jumble, and everything outside ditto. This notion gets strongly underscored by our cultures, so it can be hard to ... er... unpack. But the fact is, cognitive categories aren't actually like boxes. They have internal structure, and fuzzy boundaries (which people can draw in different places, and move depending on context), and these things matter hugely in how we think about and deal with oppression. I'm going to start by talking about research on the category "bird", because there's been a lot of it (c.f. Eleanor Rosch's work in the 70s and early 80s, which kicked it off), and it's pretty neutral so it'll be easier/less triggery for people to think about the category structure. So! The "bird" category has (somewhat culture specific) internal structure. For example, most Americans will agree that a robin is a better example of a bird than an albatross, and an albatross is a better bird than an ostrich. (And while bats are not birds, they are better birds than horses are, and horses are better birds than refrigerators are; so the gradations continue to some extent outside the category boundary).</blockquote> ➤ such a great post

<blockquote>The LES MIS ANNOTATION PROJECT is a freely-editable wiki meant to crowdsource all the footnotes and literary/historical references and stuff that fandom can possibly track down. All of them. All that communal nerd knowledge. As obvious or as nit-picky and obscure as you want. All, hopefully, in one place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>in common interest i’ve compiled a doc with all the appearances i can find by les amis in the text. it’s more than 50,000 words, so essentially, we do have a novel all our own. les amis de l’abc in les miserables note: this won’t really make sense as a complete read-through; sometimes we jump dozens of pages and chapters to find them again. it’s more helpful as a reference, to lure friends into the fandom, and if you like good things in life, like grantaire’s speeches. (i’ve included marius’ interactions with the amis, plus the deaths of eponine and gavroche, for reasons)</blockquote>

<blockquote>The French Revolution Digital Archive (FRDA) is a multi-year collaboration of the Stanford University Libraries and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) to produce a digital version of the key research sources of the French Revolution and make them available to the international scholarly community.
