Summary
In this work, I'm going to outline different elements of AO3 and how you can customize them in different ways. Using these instructions, you can start understanding the basics of CSS code for the specific purpose of creating an AO3 site skin.
I'm self-taught with CSS and still learning how to build a comprehensive AO3 site skin, but I'm sharing what I know so that you can join the skin-creation community - or at least modify existing skins to suit your needs better.
No prior knowledge of CSS or html are required to use the instructions in this work.

What can we do when we feel jealous of our fellow creators? I've got some thoughts on the topic, and I hope they might be helpful to others.

How to Block a User or a Work or a Series on AO3 by ao3commentoftheday

Summary
If there are authors or stories out there that you'd rather not ever see in your search results again, you can create a site skin to remove them from your browsing experience.
This was first explained in an AO3 News Post, but I'm going to go into more detail so that anyone with an account can do it, with no need to do any coding at all. Just copy/paste.
Updated to include how to block a series! (and a link to how to block tags)

Summary
Whether you're a new user who is overwhelmed by how AO3 works or whether you're someone trying to find that fic they loved so they can reread it again, I hope this work can assist you in your search!
Note: Please do not post your own work on AO3 asking for help finding a fic. That's against the Terms of Service for the site and it could end up with you getting a warning on your account. Even if you plan to delete it later, if your post gets reported you'll still get warned.

Reasons to post oneshots in a series instead of as chapters of a single work by ao3commentoftheday

Summary
If you’re an author who feels awkward or guilty about posting one shots as standalone fics instead of adding them as chapters to a single story, here are some reasons why readers love it when you post them one by one. I've also included reasons why authors might want to post them separately for their own benefit.
