    Summary

    Leaning over the brown sink counter, chewing on his lower lip was, to no one's surprise, Mike. He still had his shirt off, and Vito's necklace on. When I glanced in the sink, I realized his hands were sudsy and he'd scrubbed them red and raw.

    Inwardly, I slapped myself in the forehead. Multiple times. "Sorry to wake you, love. Looks like V and I both forgot ya were OCD 'bout the cleanliness thing."

    "It's fine. I feel a lot better now." He glanced at me, then at his bare chest, and started to scratch his arm. "Um, c-can I get my shirt back?"

    "Mike, it's Vito's weekend."

    His shoulders slumped. "I know. I'm trying to stay in my room, I really am. It's just…" He opened and closed his fists. "I don't like… not having… control."

    Anne Maria comes up to Mike's for a visit with Vito. Mike and Zoey are okay with this, really! They even invited her! ... Well, Zoey's okay, obviously (being less than perfect is beneath her). It's Mike who's still dragging his feet about this idea, and not just because of unfinished chemistry homework. See, he has a sharing problem...

    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.
