Summary
There was a cardboard box sitting on her office chair when she arrived. A yellow Post-It was stuck to the top, bearing the words “help yourself” in sloppy handwriting that Carol immediately recognized. She knew what she would find inside, but she opened the box anyway. Sure enough—it was a collection of business casual attire, clearly pre-owned but seemingly devoid of holes and stains.
Helen Umstead can go fuck herself, Carol thought.
or;
The story of Carol and Helen.

Summary
Carol finds it in the third week of living alone with an unhived Zosia: a New York Times article, “To Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This.” An intimacy experiment involving thirty-six increasingly personal questions and, at the end of it, four uninterrupted minutes of eye contact, which sounds fake and humiliating and somehow still not bad enough to stop her.
Carol, obviously, prints it out.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
Zosia never meant to fall for the woman behind her grandmother’s favorite romance novels.
Carol Sturka writes sweeping straight love stories and guards her private life carefully. But one late-night message turns curiosity into connection, and connection into something neither of them can ignore.One lives in New York. The other in Albuquerque.
And falling in love might cost more than just the distance between them.- Language:

Summary
Fuelled by two glasses of pre-premiere champagne, with Zosia’s warm hand tucked into her arm, Carol glides easily across the long tongue of red carpet, pausing in front of dozens of photographers when prompted, and another dozen, the two of them steadily crawling their way to the end, where a gaggle of reporters and interviewers eagerly wait to pounce with their questions. Most, she thinks, will be directed at Zosia, as she’s the more famous of the two of them. But there will be some for her, too, being the author behind the book responsible for Zosia’s latest big screen role, and one question is inevitable.
Which man did you have in mind when you created Raban all those years ago?
Only three people on Earth know there never was a man, and one of them is dead.
It was always a woman. It was always going to be Zosia.

Project Elvhen: Expanding the Elvhen Language by FenxShiral
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games)
13 Apr 2015
Tags
Summary
This is a project to create a conlang that will expand upon and deepen the Elvhen language that was created for the Bioware game series, Dragon Age. Elvhen, as it is used in the games, is a cipher, not a language. My goal is to create a complete conlang, or at least a simulated conlang, that other fans can use. The goal is to create a constructed language that is to Dragon Age what Sindarin and Quenya are to Lord of the Rings.
I do want to stress that this is a constructed language based upon the limited Elvhen we had encountered within the games. I am not using magical linguistic ninjitsu to "Figure out," the Elvhen language. In terms of the "official," language, consider this linguistic fan-fiction.
This specific work is a collection of my ongoing progress Posts, which you can find on my tumblr (Link below in the notes).

Summary
Despite being full of many different vicious creatures, endless people who want to kill them, and multiple creepy abandoned chateaus, the Emerald Graves are… surprisingly beautiful. If he ignores the fact that it’s called, well, the Graves, and all that implies, he’d even think it was a little… romantic.
