+This is a <abbr title="Work in Progress">WIP</abbr> repository for guides and tips relating to writing with some fanfiction-specific notes as well.
+
+These are all copied from pre-existing sources and converted into Markdown format for offline use and in case they go down. Image-based guides are also transcribed into text for easier referencing.
+
+This whole thing was written in [Obsidian - Sharpen your thinking](https://obsidian.md/), but most of this should display fine in other Markdown editors or plain text editors. I do use icons from the [Iconize](https://github.com/FlorianWoelki/obsidian-iconize) Obsidian plugin (which is why it's the only plugin in the .obsidian folder here, lol), but other than that, this should not have any issues.
+
+Enjoy!
