You are already ‹ruby›fied
In the Archive of Our Own admin_post update posted yesterday, it's announced that AO3 now supports <ruby> elements. This is very good news, and Ode to the Third World has been updated accordingly so that its Fist of the North Star reference is now HTML native.
This marks now all of AO3, PC and WAAPT all supporting furigana annotations. Beware if I show around your place. Soon, you shall be <ruby>fied.
Story Cross-posts
Making the World Go 'Round has now been crossposted to more platforms. As per usual, the wiki article on the story has all the details.

The Case for Furigana
This is largely a rewriting of the original case I lifted for the use of ruby / Furigana annotations in English for story writing, such as fanfics, originally submitted for the PokéCommunity forum. Only now it's reformatted and made publicly available in order to support the feature request in other communities and cases.
The idea is, English is good at taking stuff from other languages. Why not take then from East Asian languages the concept of annotations to enhance pronunciation, semantic meaning and other features of text communication?
Test
This is a test. If it's successful… I guess I have an excuse for doing stuff.
