The Anarchist’s Guide to the Forgotten Realms: Rebuilding a Broken System for 1772 DR by whisper_that_dares
Fandoms: No Fandom, Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game), Forgotten Realms (Roleplaying Game)
16 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Let’s take a wrecking ball to vanilla Forgotten Realms and the lazy tropes that plague fantasy worldbuilding! Using Forgotten Realms as a case study in good and bad worldbuilding, it dismantles incoherent magic systems, economic hand-waving, colonial narratives, and the myth of the rugged individualist. But it’s more than a setting critique: it’s a toolkit for building worlds that make sense. If your fantasy has magic, gods, or resurrection, it should also have consequences. If your cities thrive, they should have food, laws, and logic. Whether you’re writing novels, running campaigns, or crafting lore, this guide is for creators who believe internal consistency isn’t optional — it’s everything.

Ultimate Character Guide by Candy_Cadett

Summary
I don’t know if this will ever be posted or not or if it’ll get much of anything added, but as someone who is helping someone else make a story I had a thought, what if there’s already a fic that just had character traits? Spoilers, I didn’t find shit lmao. If anyone ever finds this and wishes to contribute, that’s great, awesome. I don’t know about a lot of fandoms, I mean I can watch an anime or watch a play-through of a game but I’ll often not get the jist of characters until I read a shit tone of fanfic.
Anyways tldr
This where you can write stuff about characters you know, I don’t know how committed I’ll be with this, so if it gets on hiatus and I don’t say shit, apologies, feel free to still share in comments tho.
If I do update, I’m thinking of having each chapter be a different fandom, the problem is, like I said above, I don’t know shit. That’s where you come in, if you know shit, comment it, and I’ll add it, I will not however, know if your lying, because I will not fact check it, so uhh….honors system?
I’ll start with the characters I’m currently researching to help my friend with, which will be a couple MHA and Genshin characters.

Summary
When Espers and Guides awaken, they are brought into the System, an authoritarian facet of the military where they are trained and used to close rifts and fight the monsters that rip them open.
Seonghwa is a B class Guide who becomes entangled with the Outlaws, a group of high class Espers who escaped from the System and seek the truth of the rifts and their inhabitants.
~~
“I’m supposed to do what you say, right? Just like it was in the System?”Realization dawned, bringing a sheepish light to Yunho’s eyes. “That’s not what I…” He looked away, lips twisting. “I just want to make sure you take care of yourself. You don’t need to hurt for us.”
Seonghwa wondered if Yunho was actually that naive. “That’s what guiding is, Yunho.”

Seon’s barely holding it together—his power’s out of control, his ribs are cracked, and the agency just handed him the worst possible news: a new Guide.
Taeo. All sharp edges, colder than winter, and already acting like Seon’s a burden.
Their first interaction? Seon falls on him. Taeo pushes him off like he's contagious.
Clearly, a match made in hell.
And yet… something’s about to ignite.- Language:

Summary
Here's the summary of my (limited) experience in writing stuff (fanfiction or otherwise). Most of it comes from being an avid reader, and the rest is me being a writer wannabe. It'll be all about english, as I don't write or read in other languages. Each chapter will be dedicated to what I consider to be a different aspect of this craft. I'll try to list both mistakes I've seen and made (and how to best avoid them), as well as stuff I've liked or felt was beneficial. Don't hesitate to tell me if you think I've made a mistake, if you have any additional tips to give, etc... I know this isn't Wattpad (god am I glad I escaped this hellhole, some of the stuff I've found there made me feel breathless because of the horrible writing), and the works posted here tend to be of a higher quality, but I've been both scarred by the orange hell and have still seen some mistakes be made here and there. So here we are.

Summary
Dear author who writes smut, do you know what consent means? Think again because many of you don’t. No, you’re not writing “under-negotiated” kink, or even “consensual non-consent”. You’re writing non-consensual sex. Let’s talk.
Or: How to know if you're writing consensual sex.

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 update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
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.

Summary
One of the key features in Guardian Tales is the Book menu. Here you can view the weapons, items, cards, costumes, and heroes/stories of the characters in the game.
"Memoir" is the Book given physical form. Obtained by Zane—a human from our world—when he was transported to Tetis upon his death thanks to an Archangel's scheme, this Book contains the information of the many powers that the Keeper can unlock and use throughout his journey in the universe of Guardian Tales.
This serves as his dedicated system. Memoir lets the Keeper bridge the gap between reality and fantasy, using the authority of an Archangel to obtain abilities bordering on magic.
Follow Zane's story in the planet of Tetis and the universe of Guardian Tales in :
Guardian's KeeperBy the powers bestowed upon me, I command The Rules That Govern All Reality to bless the creation of this Sacred Artifact. Let not a single one of the beings of this realm be able to destroy this Book, and hereby bound the powers inside this system to my chosen Keeper. All of this is done in the name of my existence, as the sole remaining Archangel, Azel Arc!
