MISCELLANEOUS

A new organizational method has been added to the blog: the Author Masterlist. Updated every month, this will feature the pseudonyms of every author who has had at least one fic recced by the blog. It can be accessed by using the button located in the Navigate section on the left-hand side of the blog or by clicking here. To view the informational post about this update, please click here.

I have started using the Twitter account a bit more, tweeting out daily fic rec round-ups, quote spotlights, and behind-the-scenes information and photos. If you’d like brief reviews of some stand-out fics prior to their official recs being posted, I have tweeted a few flash previews as well. Be sure to follow the account here if you’re interested! 

Thanks for another great month!
