Summary
Many works on AO3 have a wall of tags. You either need to read each one carefully or risk paying for it later. Color-coding tags makes it so you can always tell from a glance where there are tags to pay special attention to.
You can use this to dye triggering tags red, or your favourite tags your favourite color! You can also choose to make tags unreadable, if there are any you don't want to be spoiled on.

A Guide to the NHL/MLH: Everything But the Hockey by facingthenorthwind (spacegandalf), SiladhielLithvirax
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Men's Hockey RPF
11 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
What the hell is a "free agent" and why is Ilya Rozanov one at the end of Heated Rivalry? Would Cliff be suspended for that hit on Shane? How many times a season do Montreal and Boston play each other? How is the order of draft picks determined? How do hockey trades work?
All this and more is answered in this guide to how the NHL (and thus the MLH) works! This isn't about the rules of playing hockey, but instead the rules of the league itself. Even the boring bits can become great prompts for fic if you believe in yourself!
If you're writing Hockey RPF, this guide makes sure to point out where the NHL and the fictional book series/show differs, so it still works as a simplified guide for that too!

Summary
how do the misspellings in My Immortal give us clues as to a) the author's persona and b) the author's offline social identity?
this is literally my undergraduate thesis, copied word-for-word from my submitted document. there was a distinct lack of scholarly My Immortal linguistic analysis, so here is a preliminary attempt to fill that void.

𖤂 Starfleet Themed Work Dividers for Fic Formatting by CodenameCarrot for DoubleStashed
Fandoms: Star Trek, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (TV 2026)
06 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
A css skin and tutorial that allows you to make Starfleet themed dividers for use within a chapter. It can be used to modify the h3 heading (for dividers with titles or description) or the hr element (for dividers without).
This skin and the resulting dividers have been tested on, and work with, the standard site skin, low vision site skin, reversi, snow blue, and the highly modified version of simply twilling I use as my standard. So it should work for almost every one of your readers.

Straight up this is just a spreadsheet showing the days that the real A platoons of the LAFD are working, and what days they have off for this entire calendar year. I pulled the info from the publicly available LAFD duty calendar and color-coded it to illustrate A-shift specifically so that I can be accurate in my fanfiction about what days they're on and off.
