An International Guide to Writing Characters Who Smoke by QuinnAnderson
Fandoms: Original Work, Sherlock (TV)
13 Aug 2014
Tags
Summary
An American friend of mine recently asked me for some Brit-picking tips on differences in smoking language/culture between America and England to be used in her Sherlock fic. I thought I'd go ahead and write a guide, including my experiences in other countries and some writing tips for how to portray characters who smoke. Much of this comes from personal experience, and it's not intended to be encouragement to smoke. Rated Teen and Up for swearing and talk of underage smoking.

Peter Parker's Sophomore Schedule by atnuka
Fandoms: Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
22 Aug 2020
Tags
Summary
I did my best to approximate Peter's schedule during Spider-man: Homecoming based on the few times/class orders in the movie. The course codes and the class schedule are loosely based on those of the Bronx School of Science and on my own high school block schedule.
This is primarily for my own use, since I was kind of going crazy while writing fics. Feel free to use/take inspiration from/ignore this schedule. If you do, please leave a comment or something so I can read your fic!

Summary
The divine weapon Briedablik's origins are a riddle for the ages, as whoever created it no longer exists. Alternately, Briedablik could have been made as part of a joke or drunken shenanigans. Prior to my summoning, it did not have the mechanics and functions it did now.
It is common knowledge that Briedablik is an emergency weapon- intended to be wielded by anyone. It's also intended to only summon Heroes... and nothing else.
If only that were the case had I not unlocked its offensive functions...

Fanfiction Commenting Guide by thebiballerina1
Fandoms: Fanwork Research & Reference Guides - Fandom
28 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
This guide offers advice for fanfiction readers who would like to comment more often, leave longer comments, and write more meaningful comments.
Although readers don't owe anyone comments, if you enjoyed a particular fanfiction, leaving a comment is one of the only ways to show your appreciation for the hard work the author put into the story. Comments support the fanfiction community and make it more likely authors will post additional works. While most authors seem to appreciate any form of positive feedback in the comments, it is nice to be able to leave more detailed and unique comments, and that is what this guide aims to help you with.

The (in)Complete Guide to Britpicking and Finer Football Details by BelmotteTower, ScoatneyHall
Fandoms: Ted Lasso (TV)
30 Mar 2022
Tags
Summary
This is not fic! This is a non-fiction resource. I hope this resource will be something that is useful to anyone in this fandom who either wants to write fic from the POV of any one of Ted Lasso’s British characters and is not British themselves, or wants to read and write fic and, like Ted, knows nothing about the ins and outs of football and the Premier League.
In the last few months I've helped a number of viewer friends and writer friends here with some of these things already, and I’ve also done extensive research for my own fics and had really positive responses to my author notes explaining things, so I thought it might be helpful to compile and share some details regarding Britpicking, British culture and football itself for anyone who wants to make use of this resource, either as a viewer, reader or writer!
30.03.2022: Latest update - In Chapter 4 I've updated the list of which teams Richmond could be playing in each season to include what city the team is in (not always clear from name alone, and if you're unsure the answer is probably London), how long a drive that would be from Richmond, and as such whether or not an away game there would likely need an overnight hotel stay.

Ministry v. Harry Potter: An Analysis of Wizarding Britain’s Legal System by kitsunerei88
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Original Work
14 Oct 2020
Tags
Summary
Harry Potter has three canonical trials and many other references to legal processes and systems which are never really explained in their totality. The few glimpses we do see are puzzling: why is Harry being tried before the full WIzengamot? Why does Fudge have such a huge role? What about Umbridge, and how does it all work? It's easy to say that JKR just didn't think of a cohesive legal system (and that may very well be correct), but what happens if we do an analysis of the legal processes shown in Harry Potter?
Or: A lawyer takes on Harry Potter, and discovers that all witches and wizards are noble. Actually.

Did you see that fanfic with 6 gazillion tags forcing you to scroll endlessly to skip through it? Ever wondered how to block a specific story without having to download a 3rd party app or make an annoying bookmark? Guess what? You can block specific stories and authors directly from AO3, and it works in mobile!
Yes this is about a troll fic making it's way around AO3.

Fonts, and colors, and work skins, oh my! by Charles_Rockafellor
Fandoms: css - Fandom, Work Skins - Fandom
24 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
Explains:
● how to make a work skin;
● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
● site skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works.
Full code is included.If you're interested in CSS effects in your summary, then please see How to Override the Archive's Automated Chapter Headers and Bleed Gold.
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

The Hogwarts Years: Classmates, Birthdays, and Ages by smallbrownfrog

28 Feb 2014

Summary
This is a set of reference tables and lists for the Harry Potter series. They give a quick overview of which characters in various generations might have been in the same year at school.
Both canon sources (directly from the novels) and secondary sources are given. It's then up to you to decide which (if any) dates you believe are correct. Some dates are contradictory or highly unlikely. Others are very straightforward.
No movie sources have been used because the movies frequently differ from the books.
