Personalized Thank You Cards

One of the two major parts of Shadowhunters Author Appreciation Day this year was an opportunity for fic readers to write thank you messages to fic authors who signed up to receive one. Those messages were printed in the inside of personalized thank you cards, which featured the design pictured above on the front of them. 

Personalized thank you cards were sent to twenty-seven fic writers all around the world. To view their reactions, please visit the links below.

Author Appreciation Day Is Today!

November 1st is National Author’s Day. In celebration, this blog will once again dedicate the day to celebrating our fic writers, helping foster solidarity between them and their readers, and spreading positivity within the fandom. Twenty-seven thank you cards with messages written by readers were sent to authors in late October for the event. Throughout the day today, thirty-eight positive messages submitted by authors and readers will also be posted both here and on our affiliated Twitter account. Fic recs will return tomorrow!

If you missed the sign-ups for the event but would still like to participate, please feel free to blog or tweet about your own experiences with Shadowhunters fanfiction. Tag me in your post and I’ll reblog them throughout the day. Feel free to add #SaveShadowhunters and #SHAuthorAppreciationDay too!
