Summary
The Fourth Wall is the Audience.
-- Every time the writer addresses their story's audience --their Readers-- they are violating the fourth dimension, or wall, of that story's Reality. Those violations are known as: Author Intrusions.Author Intrusions show up as little comments that express the author's personal feelings on what's happening in their story, or heavily hint at things to come during the story.
Author Intrusions are a Bad Idea.

Summary
Some people wonder how to do the mouseovers and hovertext on AO3. This comes in especially handy if you want translations of the text you've written to show up when the original text is moused over (you, of course, must provide the translation). While there are ways to do this in CSS coding, AO3 is not set up to allow it. However, you can do it in basic HTML, and there's a couple different ways to get the look you want. So here you go!
Note: If read on a phone, these often do not work as intended. Stupid phones.

Commentaries on Writing Fanfiction (formerly Common Mistakes to Avoid When Writing Fanfiction) by Oloi5
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
26 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
*Some well-intentioned advice for writers, inspired by works published here at AO3. Relevant to all writers, but I am reading ASOIAF fics right now. This ongoing project is offered in a spirit of friendly humility by me, a person who lacks the talent to create but is pretty good at spying flaws.
*At this time, a total of 23 chapters are planned. Of these, at least 20% are by request! I welcome questions and yearn to be helpful!
*I trained in copyediting at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and worked for seven years in academic publishing. I have an MA in History.
*(For what it's worth, I also have a Master's in Economics. I try to be pretty quiet about that, because if I tell someone I study history, they always say "oh, I love history!" Because everybody does--unless there are assignments and examinations. If I tell someone I study economics, they avoid making eye contact while backing away slowly.)

Summary
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.
