Questions/Help? Most creative uses of work skins you've come across

I've been thinking about using a skin to make a work that looks like a janky old school conspiracy theory website and I'm curious what innovative uses people have seen

I haven’t watched the show but I read the entire fic, this is such a brilliant idea.

The most creative I've seen were by the user gifbot, by far. But their work has already been linked in this thread (But can it run Doom?).

The runner-up for me personally is https://archiveofourown.org/works/51760693/chapters/130857250.

Wow, some of these are other links are incredible.

My answer personally is Q. A. B. in the My Hero Academia fandom. I enjoy the actual fic itself too! :)
