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.

image

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.

HERE’S THAT BITCH IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR

Hey so I know Black Sails was a while ago and I’m late to the pirate party but I desperately need your attention for a moment because I’m losing my MIND.

Obviously the show is a fantastic no-holds-barred blend of history and fiction, but there’s one historical connection that I thought was half my imagination at first, but every second I look at this shit I’m sliding downhill into acceptance.

The Hamiltons and their complicated and scandalous relationship with a Naval officer…..

…are based on the Hamiltons and their complicated and scandalous relationship with a Naval officer?

image

Yes, that’s a picture of Horatio Nelson on the end. I know, and I’m sorry. Please give me a chance to explain myself.

We have, right to left, Admiral Nelson, Sir William Hamilton, and Sir William’s wife, Emma Hamilton, mostly remembered for her extraordinarily blatant and scandalous affair with Nelson. It was a hell of a thing.  There were contemporary rude cartoons about William Hamilton being so scholarly and oblivious that he didn’t know his wife was openly carrying on with Nelson. There’s even a movie about it starring Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, for whatever that’s worth.

But it’s a little ridiculous, the extent to which their torrid affair is remembered for having happened under William Hamilton’s nose. Nelson lived with the both of them for extended periods, traveled across Europe with them, wrote incessantly to them. In fact, they referred to themselves fondly as the Tria juncta in uno– that is to say, three joined in one.

Look me in the eyes right now.

 Letter from Sir William Hamilton to Lady Emma Hamilton
Burford, Eighty Miles from London.
Saturday Night, [July 27th, 1801.]

Here we are, my Dear Emma, after a pleasant day’s journey! No extraordinary occurrence. Our chaise is good, and would have held the famous “Tria juncta in Uno,” very well: but, we must submit to the circumstances of the times.

Amuse yourself as well as you can; and you may be assured, that I shall return as soon as possible, and you shall hear from me often.

Ever your’s, my dear Emma, with the truest affection,

 Wm. HAMILTON.

My kindest love to my Lord, if he is not gone.

I’m sorry but I don’t know what else to tell you.

Excerpt, letter from Sir William Hamilton to Admiral Horatio Nelson
Palermo, May 26th, 1799

Above all, take care of your health; that is the first of blessings. May God ever protect you! We miss you heavily: but, a short time must clear up the business; and, we hope, bring you back to those who love and esteem you to the very bottom of their souls.

Sir William Hamilton ending a letter to his wife:
  Adieu, my dearest Emma! Your’s, with my whole soul,
      W.H.

Sir William Hamilton ending a letter to Nelson:
   Adieu, my dear Lord! Your Lordship’s truly affectionate, and eternally attached,
      Wm. Hamilton

This has been driving me completely bonkers wrt the attitudes of the historical accounts for a hot minute now, particularly since Emma became a social pariah for their highly-publicized presumed affair after Sir William, and then Nelson, predeceased her, but I honestly cannot, for a single eight-hundredth of a second, imagine that the concept of the Hamiltons and Lt. McGraw came about without some awareness of the self-proclaimed Tria of the actual married Hamiltons and their very dearly loved Naval hero.

And, for one final small item of infuriatingly minor but TOO CONVENIENT connection– Sir William Hamilton had been married once, prior to Emma, and was widowed by his first wife’s early death. His first wife, with whom he was eventually buried, was named Catherine Hamilton, née Barlow.
