A Useful Glossary for Mission: Impossible Case Fic by FredTheDinosaur
Fandoms: Mission: Impossible (TV 1966)
11 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
If you are reading one of my other mission impossible stories and are unsure of the series-specific jargon, this may help.
(Aka I am currently proscrastinating writing my own Mission:Impossible Case Fic by collating this reference.)
It will include: Gellerese words, Made up countries from the show, Character bios / background maybe) and useful facts about 1960s technologies like typewriters, computers and recording equipment. Ideally. It may also end up being something I never finish.Obviously the M:I fandom is pretty small and I have not yet written for it (see above re procrastination) but hopefully this is helpful to some folks. Either if you're wanting to read the fics but haven't seen the show, or if you just aren't familiar with the specific made up language or old technologies
Suggestions/input welcome (eg if you're watching and spot some more Gellerese) or if you know any old fansites I haven't found please point me to them. Other writers are free to use this as reference. -

Summary
This is a work of fiction, meant to be read or referenced as a companion piece to The Sylph of Mind.
The postulations within may not necessarily be canon-compliant.
You have been warned. Also, have a nice day!
Do you possess a strong yearning for literary theory and a raging hardon for Homestuck? Are you stuck in the past—or your home—and wish to continue obsessing over a dead webcomic from 2009 despite the fervent pleas of your loved ones?
You're in good company! Within this work sits a deeply overwhelming analysis of Aspects and Classes written in such agonizing detail over the most trivial facets regarding each, you'll probably check out halfway through any one entry!
If you're reading The Sylph of Mind, and even if you aren't, feel free to reference this document for deeper insight on how the characters are themed on an intrinsic level! There are—will eventually be—entries for Aspects and Classes that aren't even featured in that story, so there's probably something for everyone to enjoy!
...When I get finished writing all of it, anyway.

The Hogwarts Years: Classmates, Birthdays, and Ages by smallbrownfrog
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
28 Feb 2014
Tags
Summary
This is a set of reference tables and lists for the Harry Potter series. They give a quick overview of which characters in various generations might have been in the same year at school.
Both canon sources (directly from the novels) and secondary sources are given. It's then up to you to decide which (if any) dates you believe are correct. Some dates are contradictory or highly unlikely. Others are very straightforward.
No movie sources have been used because the movies frequently differ from the books.

MDZS Audio Drama Episode Guide by pumpkinpaix

31 Jan 2020
Tags
Summary
An episode guide for all seasons of the MDZS Audio Drama, so if you're searching for a specific scene/quote, it's easier to find. A breakdown of novel chapters already exists, courtesy of the wonderful threerings, but the audio drama does slightly different things and has some really beautiful changes/scripting, so this is a supplemental guide for anyone who wants to reference the AD instead of the novel for any reason.
Obviously, spoilers for the entirety of the plot.

Summary
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.
