Unconventional Fic and Workskins

[impala_chick]

I have saved a few workskins on AO3 and used them for various works. None of these are my own, just adaptations of the work of others. It's fun to do "unconventional" fic and add in different things. This post is a way to collect all of the various sources for the workskins and the instructions.

Pied Piper Gets the Hollywood Treatment (supposedly): I used text boxes to make it look like a comic, also added in a news article and a reddit post

It’s reputed that the million dollar deal included giving Platinum Dunes Production the exclusive rights to the story of Richard Hendricks. </p><p>While the script is not complete, it is likely that the film will follow Hendricks’s life from being apart of an incubator in Erlich Bachman’s house, to his rise to Chief Executive Officer of a fully fledged technology company. It’s not known what other silicon valley players will appear in the film, but the rivalry between Richard Hendricks and Gavin Belson will surely feature. It’s also possible that the film will include venture capital executives or failed CEOs of Pied Piper, like Jack Barker and Dinesh Chugtai, although I’m told these individuals will be very minor characters in the film.</p><p>Platinum Dunes Production company was formerly owned by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form. The company is best known for horror films like Friday the 13th and The Quiet Place. Fuller and Form left the company in 2018. Platinum Dunes previously announced a plan to partner with Paramount Pictures on thriller films, which could explain its move to acquire the rights to Hendricks’s story.</p><p>The inside source, who has been working closely with writers from Platinum Dunes, claims that the film will involve some impressive CGI effects and at least one action sequence involving a pool, a palapa, and a marijuana bong. Not much else is known about the film, although sources say that the company is in talks with Brad Pitt for the role of Bachman, as well as Timothée Chalamet for the role of Hendricks himself. </p><p>There are not many films that have been made about tech companies in the past, although this film will be in good company with the likes of <i>Steve Jobs</i> and <i>The Social Network</i>. Both of those films were well-received and have cult-like followings. Although Richard Hendricks is not as famous as Steve Jobs, he just might be after this film hits theaters. </p> <!--End of the article--> </div> </div>

My boss is apparently selling the rights to the story of our company, of which I am still apart. I will likely be a character in the film, and they want to use my real name. But they’re not just going to use my name for some stupid movie - they’re probably going to fuck the story up and make me look like a totally incompetent leader. Surely that has to be against the law? I guess I want to make sure my name is subject to copyright. OR take action against defamation. Any potential leads, free consultations, or recommendations for an intellectual property attorney would be greatly appreciated. May even be able to pay to retain a lawyer. Edit: Sorry forgot to add that I sifted through Copyright.gov, but didn’t quite know what to do so I emailed them and came here. <br /><p style="color:gray;">6 comments Share Save Hide Report 90% Upvoted</p> <b>u/EdChambers</b> 4h <p>I can tell who this is, bro.

The Fate of the Underworld's New Hellhound: Incorporated a letter and a mission report

The letter coding is easy: < div class= "letter" >text here, take out spaces </ div >

The code for the mission report:
<div class="report"> <div class="header"> <br /> <span class="filehleft"><span class="lessbold">AGENT:</span> Persephone<br /> <span class="lessbold">EMPLOYEE ID:</span> <span class="filename">2</span><br /> <span class="lessbold">FILE ID:</span> <span class="filename">Hellhound Jordan Parrish</span></span> <div class="filehright"> HADES<br /> RECRUITING DEPARTMENT<br /> FOR SECURITY LEVEL 9 OR HIGHER<br /></div><div class="divide"> </div> <p> <strong><span class="section">I. SUMMARY</span></strong> </p> <ol> <li>The new Hellhound, chosen by Cerberus, never arrived. He remained in the mortal realm, avoiding his fate. </li> <li>I was sent to locate him, and ensure his arrival in the Underworld.</li> <strong><span class="section">II. CHRONOLOGY</span></strong> </p> <ol start="6"> <li>Able to locate the Hellhound based on Thanatos’s reconnaissance and intelligence. Human alias is Jordan Parrish. He is living in the mortal town of Beacon Hills. He works as a police officer. He appears to have several werewolf friends and helps them in his free time.</li> <li>Observed his abilities. His body gets so hot that fire erupts from his skin, but he can touch mortal objects. Possesses fangs, claws, burning red eyes, supernatural strength, and can shift in and out of his true form.</li> <li>Jordan Parrish was not alone. He was working with a female in human form, who appeared to have a godlike aura of her own and power behind her scream. Human alias is Lydia Martin.</li> <li>Made contact with Jordan Parrish, who was trying to protect Lydia Martin. Discovered that Lydia Martin is a banshee, a harbinger of death. Her scream can melt mortal ears and move objects. She is an immortal, although not a goddess.</li> <li>I agreed to a second meeting. Jordan Parrish and Lydia Martin both will not agree to leave the mortal realm willingly without certain conditions being met.</li> </ol> <p><strong><span class="section">III. RECOMMENDATIONS</span></strong> <p>To avoid a potentially violent confrontation between the banshee, the Hellhound, and possibly their group of werewolf friends, it would be prudent to take their request seriously. The Hellhound has come to terms with his fate as a guardian of the gates of the Underworld. His superior strength and abilities will be an excellent match with Cerberus’s ferocious nature, and he is ready to serve you if he can have his immortal love Lydia Martin by his side.</p> <p>They wish to leave the Underworld for four months at a time, every year. They wish to have their own home in Elysium. And they wish to be able to send correspondence back and forth from the mortal realm. It will be easy enough to build them a home in Elysium. I willingly accept this task. We already know how to manage correspondence to the mortal world. The last piece, about travel to the mortal realm, is within your purview. I recommend granting their request, as it comes at no great cost to us except that Cerberus will have to guard the gates alone. This he has done for nearly the past year, and so he can surely do it again.</p> </div> <div class="divide2"> </div> </div>

In a fic I posted last year I used three or four skins (different font colors, a letter, different chapter headings) and it was fun! I loved being able to customize the look. Adding maps, photos, etc. is something I'd like to do in the future.

I really want to broaden my font horizons. Different chapter headings are such a good idea!!
