    Summary

    You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.

    This is the tutorial that answers that.

    A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

    Summary

    Loop doesn't want to be found out, really. Nothing they want less. And they're confident that, if they play their cards right, it won't happen.

    So why does it bother them that Odile seemingly isn't even trying?

    Summary

    The list of things in Night Vale worthy of study is long, and part of Carlos’ work in this strange desert community is deciding what takes precedence. With the impossible seismology, apparently psychotropic sandstorms, fake clocks, and whatever those deer are, there's just not enough time to cover everything.

    Also, call it an oversight, a budgetary limitation, or Carlos having seven degrees in natural sciences and none in social sciences, but studying the actual societal structure of Night Vale and its... peculiarities hasn't been a priority.

    Six months in Night Vale to the day, he's going to wish he'd taken the time.

     

    The AU in which A/B/O exists... but only in Night Vale. And after six months of residency, the scientists have just officially become citizens.
