A Simple Trick for Fic Writers
Hey, if you're a fic writer and a character speaks in a different language, you don't just have to add the translation in the notes. Use the following HTML coding to add 'text on hover' to the word(s). If the reader is on a computer they can hover over the text to see the translation.
<span title="This is the text in the box!">This is the text that shows in your fic!<;/span>
Here are some examples from a fic on my AO3.
This coding here <span title="a fool, idiot (lit. emptyhead)">Eyn utreekov</span> will show this on hover.
This next example shows that you can add a lot of text. The formatting is the same as above.
PS: When doing this, there may be spacing issues, but you can edit the text through AO3's html or rich text editor. From there you can add italics (like I did), bold, etc, and fix any weird spacing issues. Just be careful not to delete the coding that you worked so hard on 😂

obsessed with the fact that the union of the two mandalorian factions is symbolized not by din and bo but by bo and the armorer. they’re co-girlbossing the rebirth of mandalore and getting gay married at the great forge while din is just hanging out with his son on nevarro and letting the lesbians handle it

the bo katan/the armorer ship is so funny to me as a “din is the armorer’s foundling” truther because it’s just this

lately i have been a bit miffed by the lack of awareness when it comes to queer characters, and more specifically sapphic characters, in the Star Wars canon. so, in my capacity as the patron saint of lesbian visibility, i've decided to quit whining about it and be the one to spread some knowledge
without further ado.....a very long and obnoxious lesson
now let me tell you about them. in detail. through very specific categories
you don't have anything else to do, right?
CATEGORY ONE: GAY. ON. SCREEN.
they're gay. on screen.
CATEGORY TWO: THE A WORD
Doctor Aphra and her web of lesbianity
CATEGORY THREE: HANDGAYDENS
Padme Amidala and her gay handmaidens
CATEGORY FOUR: THE HIGHLY GAY REPUBLIC
all the many, many queers of the golden age of the jedi
CATEGORY FIVE: VIDEO GAYMES
queers from the Jedi games and related media
CATEGORY SIX: GAY FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW
characters created for or made queer in the From a Certain Point of View books
CATEGORY SEVEN: COMICALLY QUEER
wlws from comics not involved with Aphra
CATEGORY EIGHT: BOOKED AND GAY
characters who are gay in books, even if nowhere else
whew. still here?
thank you for scrolling all the way through this. if you are interested in talking about any of these people or want to know how to learn more about them on your own, my inbox is always open!!
and seriously folks, if you’re interested in any of them i implore you: read their stories, write fic, make art!!! the more we show that these characters are appreciated and talked about, the more likely we are to get more like them, and hopefully more that are even better and more visible rep
that’s all from me. have a gay day
