I’m noticing an increase in new fic writers on AO3 who…uh…mayy not know how to format their fics correctly..so here is a quick and VERY important tip

Using a random fic of mine as example..

The left example: ✅✅✅

The right example: ❌❌❌

Idk how many times I’ve read a good fic summary and been so excited to read before clicking on it and being met with an ugly wall of text. When I see a huge text brick with zero full line breaks my eyes blur and I just siiiigh bc either I click out immediately or I grin and bear it…it’s insufferable!

If a new character speaks, you need a line break. If you notice a paragraph is becoming too large, go ahead and make a line break and/or maybe reconfigure the paragraph to flow better. I’m not a pro writer or even a huge fic writer but…please…ty…

Round Two

Palm Oil has been forbidden. Details on that below.

Small context: Since this website is pretty American/Western, the foods are all things that are relatively common or popular for that group. That way stuff that isn't culturally present doesn't skew things.

As before: This is to eliminate the food from human diets, not Thanos-snapping the thing out of the universe.

Palm Oil has been eliminated. This is unsurprising since many don't seem to know what it is. It's a semi solid oil at room temp which means its in approximately 70% of makeup, and in a bazillion prepackaged foods. Yes, there are some replacements, but there is a reason that this semi solid, neutral tasting high temp oil is so freaking common.

Lots of packaged bread, almost every thing of instant noodles, plus: margarine, chocolate, ice cream, crackers, cookies, pizza dough, and a bunch of other things. It's also a great way to fry things. Think you've never had it? you probably have. Here's other names it goes by on labels:

Vegetable Oil, Vegetable Fat, Palm Kernel, Palm Kernel Oil, Palm Fruit Oil, Palmate, Palmitate, Palmolein, Glyceryl, Stearate, Stearic Acid, Elaeis Guineensis, Palmitic Acid, Palm Stearine, Palmitoyl Oxostearamide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Kernelate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Lauryl Lactylate/Sulphate, Hyrated Palm Glycerides, Etyl Palmitate, Octyl Palmitate, Palmityl Alcohol

However! As many, many people pointed out, Palm oil farming drives deforestation. It's done in large monocultures and, while it can be done sustainably, most of what gets used isn't.
