How To Block A Work From Your Search Results On AO3

how to block a work from your search results on AO3

Every work that gets posted on the Archive has a unique identifying number. That number appears in the url for the work. I’m going to use one of my own works as an example. This is the url for my multi-chaptered fic describing tags and tagging:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25584613/chapters/62091004

The number that I’ve bolded in the middle, the one that comes right after works/ is the ID number for that work. We’re going to use that number to create (or edit) a site skin that will block that work ID from appearing in search results. 

Step 1: open the work that you want to avoid and grab that number. 

Step 2: either go to https://archiveofourown.org/skins and tap on the Create Site Skin. Give your new skin a name and description so that you’ll know what it is later. 

Step 3: this is the CSS code that you’ll want to use:

.blurb#work_25584613 { display: none;}

Note that the number I’m using there is the number from my example work. You’ll want to enter the number of whatever work it is that you’re trying to block. 

Repeat step three for as many works as you want to block. 

Step 4: save the skin and then hit the Use button to use it  on the site. 

If you’re already using a skin, you can add this code to the end. So for example, if you’re using Reversi in order to have dark mode, you can copy the Reversi CSS code into your new skin and add this line of code to the end of it, and you’ll have dark mode with the work blocked at the same time. 

Step 5: enjoy your AO3 experience that much more! Because this is a site skin, you can set it once and never think of it again (unless you change skins or log out)

LU Idea

I have a new LU headcanon. It combines two others I've seen: first, that Wild is not the same person/soul as Link from before the Shrine of Resurrection, and second, that Wind forged his own Hero's Spirit, rather than being a reincarnation of Sky. What if pre-Shrine Link (Champion) had Sky's spirit, but his soul had already passed on when his body was placed in the Shrine. The Link who emerged 100 years later (Wild) is therefore Wind's reincarnation, not Sky's.

Minion Soulbonds

Everyone destined to fall in loyalty with a Spark is born with that Spark’s sigil on their skin.

The scattering of trilobites among children born after the Heterodyne Boys vanish is taken throughout Europa as evidence that they’ll come back.

In Mechanicsburg all the children are still born with trilobites and that’s taken as hope of a different kind.

The scattering of winged castles throughout Europa is considered with puzzlement during the days when Wulfenbach is a small barony (which doesn’t even have an airforce!) and Klaus is mostly known as the Heterodyne Boys’ sidekick. Maybe it’s going to be someone else’s sigil?

Bang hides hers. She’s a pirate queen, the last thing she needs is to follow a Spark around. When she finds herself doing just that she hides the tattoo anyway. Gil would be smug and Klaus would be unsurprised.

Boris regards his with annoyance, he doesn’t want to belong to any Spark, and then with hope, it’s not the sigil of the Spark that experimented on him, he won’t belong to them forever, and finally with acceptance.

Moloch’s trilobite baffles him when he’s younger. If the Heterodyne Boys return it certainly won’t involve him. When he’s sent to Castle Heterodyne and sees the same mark on the other prisoners he thinks that’s it, the Castle owns them now and was obviously destined to. The truth, when he’s faced with it, scares him even worse.

Violetta’s trilobite nearly gets her killed. A sign of disloyalty in the making, written on her skin. Tarvek pulls strings to keep her alive and hopes it means a real Heterodyne (because the alternative is Lucrezia inhabiting the body of one and he will not see his stubborn, loving cousin in loyalty with her.)

I understand that museums have to be dark because light can destroy fragile artifacts. That said, I’m always afraid to walk around the blind corners because what if there is a skeleton

I’ve seen discussions sometimes about how fanfiction-based fandom culture is heavily influenced and dominated by people who are not cis men.

One thing I haven’t seen discussed as much though is how much of fandom in general is shaped by neurodivergent people.

I mean, you have autistic and ADHD people with special interests or hyperfixations collecting information and writing detailed meta, connecting very strongly with characters and fandoms. I would not be surprised if the percentage of autistics in fandom communities was significantly higher than in the general public.

And that’s not even getting into other types of neurodivergencies and how they influence fandom culture.

I sometimes see people try to divorce fandom culture from the idea of being a “geek”, and I understand that this is sometimes because of the association with the sexist geek stereotype, but I also know that there is a connection between the two concepts, and it’s probably us neurodivergent people.

Zelda: No matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I pray, the spirits and the goddess Hylia do not speak to me even though it is supposedly my birthright. I have been trying so hard. The world hangs in the balance and yet somehow I just can’t do it.

Link: Yo Hylia what’s up?

Hylia: Oh hey Link you’re awake what do you need my dude?

Link: More stamina plz.

The Lost Princess of the Lost City - Part 1

Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV I had a lot of Wulfenbach family feels after reading the first Girl Genius novel, and this just kind of poured out of me. Kind of a fix-it fic, I guess? People actually talk to each other and so good things happen. I will definately be writing more of this, I just love these idiots so much. (Also, credit for a lot of the details of Gil’s backstory goes to the absolutely amazing fic Well Met at Mechanicsburg. Seriously. Go read it.)
