Anonymous asked: hi! i’m sorry to bother you about this but i saw you uploaded your blog to wordpress and i had a question since i’m trying to do the same thing: do you know if posts you make after your blog is imported will still automatically be uploaded to wordpress?

Hi there! No, it appears that anything you post on Tumblr after you have imported your blog to WordPress does not automatically post there too. There are plugins available on WordPress to allow you to do that, but you have to have a Business Plan (which you have to pay for) in order to use them. However, I have just found out that you can use an applet on IFTTT to connect your Tumblr to your WordPress and vice versa in order to auto post. You might want to look into that to see if it fits your needs. I hope that helps!

@veronicasummersfelton asked: Hi! I searched for your url but your blog didn’t appear in the search. I thought you deleted your blog. Did you turn off your search option or something? Because I love your blog & would hate to see you leave.

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!

Anonymous said: hey uh the index page to navigate tags isnt working bc i was in the mood for pining fics lol

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.

@highladyofgothamcity asked: Do you have any about Malec’s first time, more fluffy than smutty preferably

Hi there! You can view fics that feature that thematic tag by using the First Time tag on the Tags Index page. If there’s Fluff also featured in the fic, it will be included in the list of themes within the rec as well. 

Here are a few to get you started: 

I hope that helps!

Anonymous asked: Hi! thanks for answering. I was referring to that and more specifically in choosing the fics? Like, do you go into the tag, you read them, etc? Or how?

It really just depends. If I have an event that I’m preparing for (i.e., Halloween), I’ll search for fics on Archive of Our Own that match that theme.

It took some time to figure out how to use the search and filter features and sometimes I still have to play around with it, but they’re fantastic resources. 

When I’m just posting regularly, it just depends on what I want to read at any given time. I try to alternate between different genres (Human AU, Canon AU, Crossover, etc.), but otherwise anything goes.

I’ll look through recently-posted fics, read fics by authors that I subscribe to when their alerts come via email, and search for tags depending on what I want to read. People are also welcome to send in recommendations, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that the fics will be featured or that they will be featured in a timely fashion. (For example, it’s November 10th and I’m creating recs for November 28th right now, so anything new that is posted or recommended will take some time to show up on the blog).

I hope that answers your question 🙂

Anonymous asked: hey there! 🙂 I was wondering, do you have a personal system for the recs?

Hi there! I’m not exactly sure what you mean. If you’re referring to me personally creating the tagging system for the recs, then yes. If that’s not what you meant, feel free to reach out again. I’d be happy to answer 🙂  

Hey! I just started watching Shadowhunters and I adore Magnus, he’s so great! Do you have any fic recs or blog recs?

mansikkaomenabanaani:

*squeals* more new Shadowhunters fans, yay!!!!

Well, I could self promo and say how many fics I’ve written (there are a lot) but also… I’d say @malecficlibrary is a great place to start for recs. I’m a little behind on reading at the moment so I don’t have any specific fics off the top of my head, sorry!

For blogs… there are some great people! Here are some of the people on here that I constantly feel like I’m reblogging/admire from a distance: @dailymalec @littleartbot @maxmaksart @phildrawsfanart @royaltybane @malecstele @janblue @dailyharryshumjr @noksindra @bappityrabbity @kotartus @michellemisfit @biconicmagnusbane @sharona1x2 @lutavero @mashumaru @sgirl18 @lesbianshadowhunter @brooklynxmagic @hourglassmermaid @fara1903

Welcome to the Shadowfam ❤️

Thank you so much for the shout-out! 😊❤

Anonymous said: Recs are coming back! Woohoo!!!! You’re one of my favorite fic rec blogs and although everyone is busy trying to save the show on twitter I still crave good fanfic to keep me up at night later than I should cause I’m so into a story.

They are! I’m still heavily involved with #SaveShadowhunters on Twitter, but I’ve really missed running the blog and reading fics and having that bit of normalcy (as weird as that might sound) in my life. I’m very excited to be back and I’m happy to hear that you’re looking forward to it as well. 😊

@ashreenao asked: Hey!! So idk if you’re still doing this while on your hiatus thing but i was reading this fic where Alec and Magnus were professors at Hogwarts and i don’t really remember any specifics other than the fact that Jace likes Simon who likes Raphael who owned a shop in Hogsmeade. Do you think you could help me find it?? Thanks!!

Hi! I think you’re referring to The Magic In His Kiss by heartsdesire456. You can view the fic’s full rec here. I hope that helps!

@scyndrrella asked: Looking for an AU human story. Alec leaves his abusive boyfriend/husband and ends in a small town. He meets Magnus and his two sons. Magnus is the owner of a paint shop. I started reading awhile ago but lost it. This follows closely the storyline of Safe Haven. 

Hi! I think you’re referring to Open Up, Everything’s Waiting For You by WasabiMalec. I haven’t read it yet, but it seems to line up with the description you gave. If that’s not it, please let me know and I’ll continue searching.
