Wuxia 101 - the guide for people who have never seen Wuxia. And how Word of Honor is so Wuxia it is amazing.

What the title says - if you ever wondered why people in 'Word of Honor' or wuxia genre can 'fly' or why Chinese fans are screaming about how tropey this is, or why a CLIFF DEATH IS NOT A DEATH, or the other several hundred questions you have. This thing might not answer all your questions but it will give you an idea.SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE DRAMA....

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Versions

Pokemon Violet (and Scarlet) Cut Scene Transcripts

by Azure_Lynx

I dug around to find reference material but it doesn't exist in an easy-to-read format. So after editing it to be easy to read, I figured I would share.These are the dialogue transcripts for all of the cut scenes in Pokemon Violet. Technically also Scarlet, if you change the relevant information. If you need quotes and dialogue for a fic, here you go. I'll be posting as I finish editing, so this is a work in progress for now, but we'll see how it goes.

A Guide to AO3 HTML

by Anima Nightmate (faithhope)

Frustrated by the way that AO3 would change or ignore HTML code I inserted, and unable to find an up-to-date, detailed guide, I decided to investigate the functionality of every tag that is permitted by the platform.I learned a lot, and hopefully you can too!Planned content:Chapter 1 - Appearance Tags (tags which format text, and insert lines, etc.)Chapter 2 - Functionality Tags (tags which do something; e.g. creating links to other pages, hover-over text, insert images, etc.)Chapter 3 - Layout Tags (tags which affect the placement of the text on the page)Chapter 4 - Tables (all by themselves because they’re a bit more complicated the other tags)Chapter 5 - Global Attributes (general elements within tags that work on most tags)Chapter 6 - Tips and Tricks (stuff I’ve learned about using HTML on AO3 the hard way so you don’t have to)Chapter 7 - Accessibility (how to help people access your words and images more easily)
