Due to the mess in my drafts and queue following the hiatus, there are several quotes from fics that have already been recced that were missed while I was queuing everything up for the blog’s return. I will be posting those this afternoon to get them out of my drafts.
If you aren’t following the account’s affiliated Twitter, you may be unaware that I’ve been on vacation and have only been online off and on to sporadically check in on things over the last week. I logged on to Tumblr this morning only to realize that about half of the recs scheduled for yesterday’s installation of the You Pick the Tag Event never left the queue for some reason. So I have re-queued those for this morning and pushed today’s scheduled recs to this afternoon. Thanks for your understanding!
