In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I’ve seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I’ll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here’s the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that’s me.)

image

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

image

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I’ll summarize regardless.

  • insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box
  • add to comment box -> once you’re done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box
  • delete -> self explanatory
  • on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it’s such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

I have this and can confirm it’s a game changer! Now i can choose to comment as I go if I want (or I can wait till the end as normal). It’s great for inserting specific lines/quotes that I loved and want to talk about, or do little live reaction keysmashing-type things!

Filed under ao3 this looks amazing too bad i tend to read ao3 fic on my ipad and not my desktop but spreading the word on this for those who it could help

Atsushi Sakurai, the former drummer and then singer of BUCK-TICK, died of a cerebral hemorrhage on October 19th. He was taken to hospital during a live performance, where he passed away later that same evening. I don’t even know what to say, I’m still shocked. BUCK-TICK is my absolute favorite band, and Atsushi was my favorite vocalist. BUCK-TICK was sort of my gateway into visual kei. In my application for my university, I also included a BUCK-TICK song in my game concept. Also in my first prototype, I put BUCK-TICK posters in the apartment I created for my game. Atsushi was an idol. Phenomenal voice, ethereal looks, broke gender stereotypes left and right, inspired so many people out there. BUCK-TICK’s songs got me through dark times, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to listen to Jupiter again without feeling like I’m about to cry. It hurts that the chance to see them live at some point is now completely gone. His music will live on, his legacy will live on. He will forever hold a place in our hearts.

I will miss him so very much. My condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. Rest in peace, Atsushi. Fly high angel 🕊🥀

Who runs the world? Girls. And this year, Marvel Trumps Hate has plenty of fantastic auctions focused on your favorite female characters!

Are there female characters or a femslash ship you really want to read more fic for?

Are you craving more art of your favorite Marvel ladies?

Do you want to see more awesome female content within the Marvel fandom?

This year, MTH has 128 unique auctions offering an assortment of women-centric works for romantic (F/M) and gen/platonic (F&F and F&M) relationships and solo female characters as well as 37 femslash (F/F) auctions. You can find anything from popular ships to rarer character combinations. Some creators offering femslash works may also offer other women-centric ships or gen, so make sure to thoroughly browse their auctions.

Start looking through our women-centric auctions here, and treat yourself with content featuring your favorite Marvel women! For femslash (F/F) only, you can click here.

If your favorite female character or relationship isn’t specifically on offer this year, don’t worry. You can do the following:

  • search “Character Name/Any” on our auction site to find creators who are open to offering any romantic relationship that includes a certain character
  • look for creators offering works for solo characters or any platonic relationship for specific characters by searching “Character Name-centric.” The work description will elaborate whether the auction is for a solo character or a relationship—or both.
  • search for people offering “any gen,” “any ship,” or “any gen and ship” for fandoms, e.g., Captain Marvel fandom any gen and ship
  • seek out creators receptive to the character/relationship through

AUCTION WEEK INFO

We have less than 28 hours left of Auction Week, and bids are coming in fast. With the clock ticking down, we want to help bidders strategize for the final day.

If you can’t afford the auctions you want or you have a tight budget, here are three ways that you can still get or stay involved as a bidder:

  • Look at our golden needle auctions, many of which have affordable minimum bids. We have only 14 remaining, down from 37 in just two days. That’s amazing!
  • Use our “current bid: low to high” sorting feature on our Auction Listings page. You can access it by clicking the dropdown menu and narrow down your search even more by going through individual filter categories on that page. Doing this makes it easier to see auctions you’re interested in that are within your budget and is extremely useful for smaller categories such as podfics and digital works.
  • Join a pod bid. For more information on how to start or get involved in a pod bid, click here. Many bidders have pooled their funds together to win a specific auction, and several creators have announced that they’re open to receiving pod bid requests for a variety of prompts.

If you haven’t done so already, come join our Discord server, where creators can promote their auctions and match with interested bidders and bidders can share ideas and check out auctions. Our Discord has been busy all week, and we know it’ll be a lot of (crazy) fun once we get into the final hours of bidding!

Forgot that you have plans during the last few hours of the auction? Enlist a proxy bidder!

Ask mutuals or friends who don’t mind helping you bid to bid on your behalf (keep in mind that the auction ends at 11:59:59 PM ET on October 28 (what time is that for me?). MTH mods will not proxy bid for anyone, but if you can’t find someone to help you, feel free to mention that you’re looking for a proxy bidder on our Discord server.

You can’t take back a bid once it’s placed and should you win the auction, you must donate the winning bid amount, so try to find someone you can trust as your proxy. Once you do, let your proxy know the highest amount you’re willing to bid on each auction.

To have someone bid on your behalf, you can use one of these methods:

  • Give your proxy your marveltrumpshate.com account login info, so they can bid under your name.
  • Have your proxy create their own account (e.g., “proxyforyournamehere”) to help you place bids.
  • Let your proxy bid on your behalf on their account.

Keep in mind that when you make an account, you’ll get an email asking you to verify your account in order to access it. If you’re making a new account for your proxy, you may wish to use your proxy’s email address instead of yours. This means the winner emails will go to your proxy, who’ll need to forward them to you once the auction is over. You’ll then need to email us with your donation receipt and details on your proxy bid so that we’ll be able to put you in contact with your creator(s).

If your proxy already has an account and would rather use their own account to help you place bids, they must be very careful in keeping track of which bids they place for you and which bids are their own. Your proxy will need to forward winner emails to you if they use their own email, just like they would if they created a new account.

Good luck with bidding, everyone! Keep an eye on our countdown clock, figure out your bidding strategy, and be ready for the madness tomorrow. We hope you’ll win your favorite auctions!
