Calling all Shadowhunters fic writers! I need your feedback for Author Appreciation Day 2.0!
Last year, this blog dedicated a single day to show the fandom’s appreciation for our amazing fic writers on National Author’s Day. Numerous readers and fic writers participated by leaving supportive and appreciative messages, which were then shared with the fandom on November 1, 2017.
I am definitely planning on making this an annual event, as I think it helps bring some positivity to the fandom and highlights a portion of our incredible artists who I feel often go underappreciated. This year, I want to do something a bit different and one of my ideas goes far beyond what I did last year. It would take a lot of planning, so I want to know if there’s interest in it first.
If you write any fanfiction for the Shadowhunters fandom – whether it be for Malec, Clace, Sizzy, Saia, Clizzy, Climon, Saphael, Jimon, BrOtps, character-centric fics, family fics, or something else – please take part in the polls that are currently live on our Twitter account and will remain open until April 7th.
Question #1: Would you feel comfortable providing a mailing address to a private form so something small could be physically sent to you? The information would NEVER be made public. It would only be used for sending you something showing the fandom’s appreciation.
Question #2: Instead of something being physically sent to you, would you prefer that there was an option where the object showing the fandom’s appreciation could be sent as an attachment via email? Again, this address would NEVER be made public.

Hi Nin 😊 thank you so much for all of your support! It means the world, especially coming from you 💚 All of our incredible fic writers put in so much time and effort to create such beautiful works and I’m honestly just glad that I can show my appreciation and give back in some way. Thanks again for everything that you do!
The 3A Episode Collection Event continues through the month. This weekly, three-day event, spanning Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, will feature fic recs related to the previous week’s episode, as well as any predictions based on the upcoming episode’s promotional material. It will run throughout the entire airing of Season 3A. For more information, please click here.
i’m fairly new to the malec fandom and also am an old hat in another super popular fandom. can i just say it’s wonderful that you take the time to do these roundups? i especially love that you highlight new writers. it’s great to see such support!
Welcome to the fandom! I hope you’re enjoying it so far 🙂
This is so sweet, thank you! The round-ups take a lot of time, but I enjoy being able to look back on a single month’s milestones after the fact. I also think it’s incredibly important to support fandom writers and have tried to do that to the best of my ability, both with this and other aspects of the blog. Without them, their creativity, and their love for these characters, the fandom would be a very different – and, in my opinion, a much less enjoyable – place. They deserve all of the love.
1,158 total fics recs have been posted in the 13 months since this blog’s creation. 131 of them were posted in the last 31 days. To view this month’s recs, please click here.
The final portion of the Countdown to Season 3Eventtook place from March 1st to March 20th. It focused on fic recs related to episodes from Season 2 and Season 3 predictions. Spanning 29 days, 131 fic recs were posted over the course of the entire event.
The 3A Episode Collection Event started on March 25th, the first installment running through March 27th. This weekly three-day event will continue following the next nine episodes of Season 3.
In honor of the two-year anniversary of 1×12: Malec airing on Freeform, episode-related fic recs were posted on March 29th during the 1×12 Anniversary Event.

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!
In an attempt to feature another organizational method for the blog I have created the Author Masterlist, which includes every author that has been recced at least once by this blog.
The good news? Upon calculating the number of authors that would need to be listed, I realized that the works of 480 authors have been recced in the last 13 months! The bad news? Tumblr’s page feature apparently doesn’t like having that many links on a single page, because it won’t allow them to remain intact when I save it.
In order to compensate for this, I have created four text posts that list sections of the masterlist alphabetically. They will be posted shortly and I will be working on linking them to each other, as well as creating a button for the sidebar. Please be patient as I make these adjustments. Thanks in advance!
Update: Everything should work properly now, but if you find something that doesn’t please do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks for your patience!
As of March 31, 2018, the works of 479 authors have been recced. Thank you to each and every one of them for their beautiful representations of Magnus and Alec.
The list below features Part #1 of every author that has been recced by this blog. Listed alphabetically, it includes those from # – F.

Note: I tend to update this at the end of every month, so some authors may not be represented and/or linked here yet.
