Hi! I had a question about something from your AO3 tips master post with tampermonkey scripts you recommended. Thank you so much for making it btw, life changer :)

This is about 'AO3: Kudosed and seen history,' and I didn't quite understand what you wrote about it. "Again, data doesn't sync between browsers *but you can copy it from the dropdown settings.*" What do you mean by that? Is there a work around to get it to sync between browsers?

Sorry to bug you with this and no pressure to respond at all but thank you for that post either way!!

Hi there! So glad you found it useful! And you're not bugging me at all :)

So, as far as I know, there's no workaround to get it to sync, unfortunately. But if you want to back up your data or copy it to a new browser, which is what I was referring to in the original post, then here's what you do:

The script adds a dropdown called "Seen works" to the top left toolbar on Ao3, and the first item in the dropdown says "Settings and import/export" — like so:

When you click "Settings and import/export", this pops up:

If you want to back up your kudosed/seen/bookmarked data from the script, then click in the text box under "Export your saved lists" (where it starts with {"kudosed":) and hit cmd+A on Mac (I think it's ctrl+A on Windows) to select all, and then copy and paste it into a google doc or similar.

To move your data to a new browser (like if you get a new computer/phone or just want to switch browsers), copy the "Export your saved lists" data from the old browser and then open this same screen in your new browser and paste it under "Import your lists" and click "Import lists". This won't sync the data between the browsers moving forward, but it will copy all your old data to a new browser.

I hope this makes sense; let me know if it doesn't or if you have more questions!

@xdaniadaniadania replied to your text post: once upon a dream?

this was a character study of the ipre during canon based on what they dreamt about! barry's is one of my favorites:

Barry dreams, sometimes, of the color red. He dreams that he is in the bottom of a big, empty glass jar, tiny and insignificant while he feels as though something else should be there to fill up the rest of the space. He feels as though he is too small, and that the emptiness will consume him if he stays here. But all he wants to do is curl up into a tiny ball and make himself as small as he can.

He dreams of the color red, of flowing skirts and singing laughter, of a girl with no face. He dreams about the ground giving way under his feet and falling into a swath of red. He dreams of a coin that whispers his name in his ear and red circles on a map and a woman with a sad smile. He dreams of flying, and the sound of a bell that can control the dead. He dreams of dying, and that doesn't make it better.

He wakes up, and the emptiness consumes him whole. He is single minded in his mission, dead or alive, because an eternity alone is an awful thing to bear.
