    Summary

    This is the first lesson, and the only one she never has to relearn. Hesitation from a position of power is brutality. If you want to be a good person–not a nice person, but a good person–you must be able to look the horrible thing in the face and not blink.

    A more than incidentally heterosexual Eva Stratt manifesto.

    Some small slices of Grace’s life after returning home to Earth with Rocky in his old age. Prominently featuring Futuristic BuzzFeed (and associated personal revelations)(what do you mean the whole world thinks he’s autistic like Albert Einstein???)

    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 to update.

    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.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    SAVOIR FAIRE [Legendary: Failure] - Oh, you’ve got this in the fucking bag.

    YOU - “Maybe we could fuck about it?” The words slip out of your mouth casually, matter of factly, like you’ve only just suggested that you should take the opportunity to rummage through someone’s mail. You hear them as you speak them, like they somehow managed to completely bypass your brain on the way out of your mouth.

    -

    Kim and Harry are on a stakeout. It gets pretty interesting.
