Summary
A bit of sillyness which grew from a tumblr prompt. Starring Souta as Paranormal Investigator, Kagome as Skeptical Older Sister/adult supervision, and Inuyasha as half-demon ghost, trapped for hundreds of years and ready to be set free... and interested in a certain modern miko.
(Basically, "what if Inuyasha was never unsealed from the God Tree?")
WARNING-- this is only generally edited. I apologize for typos. Like I said, a bit of fun.

Summary
It isn’t like Isak to not be home at this hour. Even doesn’t like it. Isak should be home with his butt firmly planted on their bed and playing FIFA, swearing when he loses and cheering when he wins. Not like the boy ever wins, but Even likes to give Isak the benefit of the doubt. Isak should be home, begging for Even to make him something to eat and then grumbling about having to do laundry.
The picture of him and Isak flashes on the screen before it’s covered by a single notification from Jonas. Raising an eyebrow, Even quickly unlocks his phone and opens it up.Jonas (16:34)

Summary
Will's thoughts were incoherent, as the feeling of Stephen's lips pressing firmly and purposefully against his own rendered him a slave to passion. They forgot about time or their intention to go home only until they'd kissed so much that their cheeks were flushed bright red and their lips were plump and parted, allowing for air to be sucked into their lungs as fast as possible so that they could do it again.

Bookmarker's Notes
Sirius finds the book that Remus had taken from the library lying neatly on his bed that night. The title is unassuming -- it's an essay collection about literature featuring Dark Creatures -- but someone, Sirius has to assume Remus, has stuck a sliver of parchment into it to mark out one chapter called "Fetishising the Other: Dark Creatures and Sexuality in Classic Wizarding Literature".
...Protagonist: A Werewolf. Smart. Nice. Always has a witty comeback. Doesn't get mad easily. Really nice brown eyes. NOT FURRY AT ALL when human (well a little bit, it's not like he's hairless either)! Very very ha ndsome! I thought you were trying to write something realistic here. How about also doesn't ever want people to see he's angry in case they just dismiss him as an angry werewolf? Doesn't ever want to fail at anything because then people will just say that he failed because he's a werewolf?
Love Interest: Virgin.???? Very beautiful. handsome. VERY. Pureblood aristocrat. Posh but not obnoxious about it (usually). The kind of voice that could uncurdle months old milk. Black hair that falls just so across the forehead. Kind, clever, funny, loyal. No one but the werewolf knows how kind. Easily misunderstood. They have that in common. Loves Protagonist madly from first sight. Really? Shouldn't they get to know each other a bit first? ...
LI says it's ok to be a werewolf, in fact it's great! Is it great? Makes protagonist way more interesting! LI, you're terribly sweet. Who cares what stupid people say! Again, LI, I think the werewolf will be completely smitten if you tell him this. They live happily ever after! You know, I think they would.

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.

Britspeak to Amerispeak by dr_girlfriend

Tags
Summary
Writing a Teen Wolf fic where Derek takes this bloke Stiles to see a film in the cinema before taking him back to his flat to meet his mum? Writing a Sherlock fic where Sherlock meets John at college while studying for a big test so they both get good grades?
If so, you need this Britspeak to Amerispeak directory. I hope to keep adding to it, so feel free to put any instances in the comments that I'm missing so far. This is meant to be GENERAL advice, obviously there will be exceptions, but if you're a Brit writing American characters or an American writing British characters, take a cruise through and see if there are any word usage or spelling errors you might have made! I tagged the fandoms I'm in, but of course it could be helpful to any American or British fandom.
Note: I am American, born and raised, and have lived in almost every part of this country. Feel free to add your comments and suggestions, but if you start it with "Actually, Americans would never..." just know that I am laughing at you right now.

"Jungkook."
"Hm?" Jungkook sighs, arching his back even more as he gets the kinks out of his shoulder. He flutters his eyelashes prettly at Namjoon. "Do you need my help with anything, Hyung?" He inches the heel of his foot a little higher and presses down and Namjoon chokes back on another 'cough'.
Namjoon narrows his eyes as he looks between Jungkook and the camera. “No,” he grits out, “Just peachy.”

“Tks. I like your photo. Cool camera.”
“Thank you. Sorry, but I have to ask… Is that really you on the photo?”
“Yeah. Why’d you ask?”

Summary
“But how can other people tell who you are on the inside? How can they see?”
“They can’t, Sherlock, that’s the point.”
“Well, then they shouldn’t be allowed to tell you what you are. It’s stupid, it doesn’t make any sense.”
Sherlock knows a lot of things. He knows where plants get their green colour from, what the first element on the periodic table is, that DNA is the shortened form of the term deoxyribonucleic acid, how long it usually takes his mould cultures to grow to a respectable size and that Mycroft is his brother. He doesn't understand why people keep disagreeing with that last one, though.

Predatrix's Brit-Picking Notes by Predatrix

Summary
This started out as a response to one too many stories where a Yank misunderstood the context of the word village, and then took up an uneasy existence as a comment in someone else's Brit-picking notes.
Then it occurred to me I'd never seen anyone else's Brit-picking essay cover this particular issue, so I started off my own.
Will add other chapters as and when.
