To My Followers: A Look Back on the First 365 Days

It has officially been one year since I started this blog and what an adventure it has been. What started as a small side project, quickly grew and became a significant part of my life. I’ve been lucky enough to interact with so many of you simply because we all love Magnus, Alec, and the way in which they are lovingly portrayed on screen by Harry and Matt and in fics by the amazing authors within this fandom. Thank you all so much for sticking with me and continuing to support this blog through its ups and downs. Running it hasn’t always been easy and we’ve hit a few snags along the way, but maintaining it has always been worth it. I’m really looking forward to continuing this journey with all of you over the course of the next year!

What is an Annual Review?

Rather than post new material, today will be dedicated to recognizing the best-liked fics and quotes from the past year, as decided by all of you based on your likes and reblogs, along with a few of my favorites thrown in. Then tomorrow we’ll start a new year, filled with new recs, new authors, new quotes, and new events. 

The Annual Analytics will be posted shortly, featuring all of the information listed above.

This is also a great time to evaluate the blog. I would like to hear your input on the successful elements of the blog, as well as the elements that could use a little work. Please feel free to weigh in on as much or as little as you would like. Thanks for your input!

You can weigh in on blog navigation, blog events, and blog tags in a poll that will be posted shortly.

Anonymous said: Hi 🙂 I just wanted to say that I love your blog and it is always my #1 place to go when I need a new fic to read. It is so helpful to have a big collection of some really awesome fics. I definitely have found some favorites in your recs. In your last post, you said we could rec our own fics if we wanted. If you could take a look at mine, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! He Feels Like Magic by Aberial_63
