Summary
Welcome to The Emerald Lane: fanshrine, web archive and forever home to your favourite character of all time. Here we revere him in glorious pixels and paints, in song and prose, in posts and profiles and all manner of fancontent. Here you can be yourself and worship him with all your heart. Without shame, or fear, or rejection.
Devotees: Leave your name, ring the bell counter and wait by the gates. The shrine warden will show you in presently.
Because she has to.
Written for the "Nostalgia Keeps Me Down" zine hosted by Vinegar Zines.

Summary
In Chinese folk culture, the soul of a dead person is believed to return to their family home on the seventh day after their death – usually as moths or butterflies, but sometimes as other insects. This is a poem on such a seventh day.
Written for the "Jingzhe: Awakening of Insects" zine hosted by Ensquare Events.

Summary
Prepare nine BLU mercenaries. Mix well a generous amount of coffee, candy, crafts and chicken, then sprinkle in equal parts introspection and imagination. Spread over an evening and roast with some well-timed allusions from everyone’s favourite lady assistant. Garnish with a dash of dynamite before serving warm around a campfire. Happy cooking!

Summary
Bread necklaces: status symbol, fashion statement and delicious snack rolled into one, and coveted by all of pigeon society. Are you part of the upper crust or the lower crumb? Is your accessory a sign of wealth, or a mere symptom of blind consumption? Join our sassy host Col. Pasquale in his rhyme-ridden commentary on the bread-based bling and fashion sense (or lack thereof) of his fellow pigeons!
A nonsensical poem written for the "Toasty Mart" bread x animals zine hosted by @bycmykae.

Fonts, and colors, and work skins, oh my! by Charles_Rockafellor, 𝖀𝓷ᶦ𝕔ⓞðə E Ⓜ️🅾️j̵͍̟̝̝̖̮̓ͭͨ̂̐̚ℹ️ (Charles_Rockafellor)

Summary
Explains:
● how to make a work skin;
● how to view fics' work skin rules;
● how to colorize text and circle words and highlight backgrounds (examples in head-note), and change and resize your fonts;
● how to turn all links blue-underscore automatically;
● the CSS code for diacritics to render properly, e.g.: “ầ” & “ồ” (with diacritics not superimposed), or “ị” (with underdot directly beneath, not kerned to the left), without breaking words such as “gầu” or “vịt” (using a monotype font for these letters would create gaps to each side of the ầ or the ị). Head-note has corrected examples;
● Site Skin addenda to block / shrink tags, and block authors / works;
● even a quick way (code included) to simply make a Site Skin so that you can read everything in your font of preference!Full code is included.
I read, appreciate, and reply to all of your comments — they're always welcome!

Summary
The war was ended. The team disbanded. They all still needed to make money. They were hired to kill each other.
Or
The mercenaries accidentally meet each other on the field of their freelance work. Things go poorly. This is not a happy fic.

THE EXQUISITE SIMULACRE: mistaking it for the thing itself by hanktalkin
Fandoms: Team Fortress 2

Summary
Memories scraped and supplanted. Twist of the scalpel—splat onto the coil burner. Does it count as real when the love comes from a pitch chasm you can’t see the end of?
When you both break and fall and are just scrap on the ground does it feel right? Have you done this before?

CSS in Testing by InfinitysWraith

Summary
This is a flaming dumpster filled with CSS and HTML experiments. It's not instructional, but I post the code and my own explanations for both our sakes. Feel free to steal the code or ask me questions- I don't know what I'm doing. :)
(Pics are mine though)
Chapter 5 is probably what you're looking for ;)
I'm not going to say I take requests, but I'm always looking for inspiration.
It seems I've broken Ao3 yet again. I can no longer add more code to my work skin so we're moving on to part two!
