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.

Please participate in the poll for Question #1 here.

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.

Please participate in the poll for Question #2 here.

Thanks in advance for your feedback and for your contributions to the fandom!

Summary:

“It can’t be worse than the last double date we had,” Maia says, smiling slightly. Simon rolls his eyes at that, but squeezes Maia’s hands.

“I know you’re trying to make me feel better, but that’s setting the bar really low.”

Maia smiles fully then, and Simon can feel his nerves easing a bit at the sight.

“Why are you nervous, anyway? I thought you liked Alec and Magnus,” she says softly.

(malec and saia go on a double date)

Alexander loved with all that he had. Unfiltered, honest. It never ceased to amaze Magnus, how Alec could be such a strong and fierce leader, commanding his people with one harshly barked word, and still be the same person who blushed and stuttered at compliments but never hesitated to dole them out; who always treated Magnus with such tenderness, worshipping his body as though it was a treasured gift that Alec was blessed to be permitted touch. He wondered if Alexander would ever truly understand what a miracle he was.

Summary:

They retire to bed some time later. Alec’s mind is a little fuzzy from the drink and the taste of Magnus’ lips against his so it doesn’t take much to grab Magnus’ hand and be lead back inside.
