In light of Tumblr’s announcement, I will be focusing on backing up the blog to an alternative source for the next few days. The site may not be affected, but as they’ve already hidden it from Tumblr searches for no apparent reason I’m not taking any chances. I’ll post a link to the back-up site as soon as I’m able to.
Thanks so much for letting me know about this! I double-checked and you’re right; the blog’s URL isn’t showing up in Tumblr searches (but it is showing up via Google and Bing). I have no idea why. I checked its visibility settings and it’s not marked as hidden or explicit, so it should come up. I have contacted @support and am waiting for an answer. I’ll share any information I get as it becomes available. Hopefully it’ll be taken care of relatively quickly. Thanks again!
Yes, I’m aware. I noticed it when I was queuing recs tonight. Something randomly went wrong with the coding for some reason, but I think I have it fixed now. (You’ll also notice that the page is different. I’ve been working on transitioning into new customized pages and it made more sense to fix it there and have that one go live than have to fix it twice). Go ahead and give it a try and if you still have problems, please let me know.

Following the Pride Event yesterday, we’re back to the #SaveShadowhunters hiatus for the foreseeable future. But we do have some fun things coming up once someone decides to finally make an official announcement.
Here are the events that are still slated to take place once the hiatus is over:
Once the campaign is finished, I will post an announcement with a revised schedule. It will take me a few days to queue the recs I have already prepared, but it should be a relatively quick turn-around. Thanks again for your patience and understanding!
