Works Embeds

Archivist creates a work embed when it detects an AO3 work link in chat. The embed shows important work details inside Discord so you can review the fanfic quickly.

  • Fandoms — fandom tags
  • Relationships — relationship tags
  • Characters — character tags
  • Additional tags — other tags
  • Summary — the work summary text
  • Gallery — a separate image gallery for work images

The works embed and gallery embed are split into pages when they are long. This keeps each embed small and easy to read. Use the page buttons to open a specific section, or use the Previous and Next buttons to move in order.

The table below shows what content appears on each page.

Page What is shown
Stats title, authors, series, words, chapters, language, dates, status, rating, warnings, category

Gallery work images

If someone else posted the link, your pages appear in a private temporary message. This gives every user their own copy of the embed.
