This user script generates citations for fan works on Archive of Our Own.
Citations are automatically added to the information section at the top of each work/chapter page.
The script follows the style guide developed by Karen Hellekson, editor of Transformative Works and Cultures, with some modifications:
- Fandom names on AO3 are not italicized, as they can contain more than just the titles of the original media.
- Crossovers involving 4 or more fandoms are cited as "Multifandom". This limit is arbitrarily chosen.
- Work titles with quotation or punctuation marks use MLA rules.
You need the browser extension Tampermonkey (Chrome, Opera Next, Safari, Firefox) or Greasemonkey (Firefox).
Visit the following URL, and Tampermonkey will ask you if you want to install the script:
https://github.com/redsummernight/ao3-citation-generator/raw/main/ao3-citation-generator.user.js
Tampermonkey will automatically update the script if there's a new version available. You can manually update by visiting the above URL again.
