To all the new fic writers / people not used to advertising their fic on tumblr:

Please do not simply copy-paste a link to your fic in a new post! Like so:

It gives you a wonky layout that — more importantly — doesn’t actually give the reader the information they might need in order to decide whether your fic is right for them. Notice the weird indentations of the text and how the only info I’m giving is my ao3 handle, the title of the fic, and the fandom.

Please consider using the AO3 “share” button!

This will format a full post with all the metadata you included on ao3 anyway:

Alternatively, you can format your own post, which is what I usually do: Take a moment to think about what info you usually use to decide on a fic: is it the rating, the word count, the additional tags, the summary? Consider including at least these bits in your tumblr post.

Thank you for your time.
