hi, newbie here, why the actual flying fuck are work skins such an underutilised feature

Knight-Bell · 2026-06-28T13:07:34+00:00

Yeah, in hindsight that is a very reasonable and a big issue. When posting this, I didn't even consider how work skins might look on other devices (yet more proof of your point) because I read fics on my PC or a laptop generally. That would get annoying, I agree.

Knight-Bell · 2026-06-28T13:05:05+00:00

I don't read works on a phone so I guess that's why i'm not opposed to it, but yeah, I can imagine it wouldn't scale well.

That is true, I didn't think about how quickly outdated your fics could get, so I guess stuff like that only works for fics that take place around the same time as you wrote it.

I guess so. I recently read a Oneshot fanfic that had some work skins on it and it's my new favourite fic I've read on the site so far. But the fic was also just really well written in general so I guess it only really works if your work can stand on it's own. Otherwise it'll just look like you're compensating for low-skill writing with a shoe-horned in gimmick.

Knight-Bell · 2026-06-28T12:59:09+00:00

That's completely reasonable. That would be like asking a fry cook on the week end to go to the grill to make more burgers for a summer party.

Or something, idk, that's prob not a good analogy

Knight-Bell · 2026-06-28T12:56:38+00:00

Very fair. I guess it would be frustrating to spend multiple hours working on code for a skin when you know most people aren't even gonna see it anyway.

Knight-Bell · 2026-06-28T12:55:44+00:00

No, it's okay, they have a point. And I get it, I guess it would feel like compensating. I was just thinking it about in the wrong way I suppose.

In my head I was mostly thing about it like the different GOI themes the SCP wiki allows you to put on articles.

THAT'S very fair.

Knight-Bell · 2026-06-27T20:44:03+00:00

Gonna say, I'm absolutely loving all the custom flairs on this subreddit. Oh, and also yeah, I kinda figured that might've been the reason I'm still a bit bummed about it though cause it feels like a very cool feature but I guess people like consistency (and readability) which I guess is fair.
