In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

i WAS TAKING MORE SCREENSHOTS AND I CAME ACROSS THESE iM LAGUHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW IM IN TEARS

GREYSCALE PRINCESS!!!

does the princess have a canon colour scheme? or is she not coloured in due to her shifting to our perspective, if we see her as blonde, she is, if we see her eyes as brown, she has them

sry if this has already been answered before, ur games have me by tye neck and are squeezing me like a stress ball/vpos

The Princess is greyscale, as she appears in the game. (A lot of people say she's brunette because of the "Good Ending" victory screen, but I drew that before Abby did any art for the game. I like to think of that as the Narrator's "idea" of the Princess, rather than any sort of a canonical color scheme)

So I actually had these Slay the Princess sketches for a while because I wanted to draw each of the voices but as different birds because that’s how I always saw them. But I never ended up doing that. Might draw those at a later date.

I’m a firm believer that the Narrator would be a Magpie because magpies are bitches and he is a bitch. Plus several irls when I showed them said would so take that with what you will.

I’m pretty sure that The Voice of the Hero is the protagonist’s sub-conscience (if not that’s my headcanon at least) and while I love to draw him as a crow, I went with this bird called the Bateleur eagle for the unique look alone. (And also bird symbolism.)

Didn’t draw anyone else except for the Smitten (a peacock of course) and the Paranoid. (He’s a Kiwi and no one can convince me otherwise.
