A conundrum, o writerly friends!

Suppose scenes taking place at the same time, both in a social media setting. One character is flipping between channels or tabs or apps or whatever in order to participate in both scenes. How does one track what's going on from that character's perspective, in chronological order, without cluttering the story with mentions of changing tabs?

I'm kind of thinking for AO3 purposes I might left-align one convo and right-align the other, but frankly that'll be ugly...

—say. Does AO3 do columns?

Nah. If AO3 allows it, the tags are: < text color = "[hex number]"> < /text> and then if you want both exchanges in not-black, the other color.

[madgastronomer]

You could also change the background colors, in which case it's < div bgcolor="[hex number]"> < /div>. Andyou can get your hex numbers for colors here.

Huh let me try this...

background

text

ETA: apparently DW does not allow.
Anyway. Not any more markup than columns would be.
