Yes, it’s still possible to get posts to show up, but in the case of the search function, it’s only if they have no links – not even links to other Tumblr posts. For people like me who include links to other chapters in my fic so readers can get caught up on chapters they might miss, this is a huge problem. I basically have no choice but to include those links, or else I would make things massively inconvenient for my readers.
So why am I telling everyone this? Because this means reblogs are becoming more and more important to creators. With posts so difficult to find in searches and tags, reblogs are one of the few other ways for people to find new artists or writers.
You’re under no obligation to reblog my stuff, of course, but I want to put it out there why reblogs are so important to those of us who write/draw/create content.
(Also: While I’ve personally verified the stuff that’s going on with searches, I have no clue what’s going on with tags. Some of my stuff is showing up there, some isn’t, seemingly with little correlation to the links included. So tags might not be quite as strict, but they do seem to be less consistent.)
If you’re suffering from depression and are looking for a sign to notgo through with ending your life, this is it. This is the sign. We care.
If you see this on your dash, reblog it. You could save a life.
Just in case you don’t think it can actually save a life, this is a message I got in my inbox after reblogging this post
I don’t care what the theme of your blog is. Reblog this.
Always
I wanted to add this because I was on the fence about posting it, but I got this when I did. Please reblog this post, it really could save someone’s life.
reblogging, as a person who deals with depression..and wanted..to swallow pills and overdose a few times.. ere ya go..
as a survivor, if you want to kill yourself, let me tell you one thing: don’t.
I think I’ve reblogged this before but I will never not reblog it.
I like both for different reasons. When I’m able to focus and really spend some time on reading a long fic is balm to my troubled soul. Most of the time, however, I have trouble concentrating on one thing for more than about 20 minutes at a go. In that case, I love a series of one shots. I can enjoy each one separately in those moments when I have a bit of downtime, but I don’t have to keep a long narrative in my head in order to follow along. The gaps in that case are like the gaps between episodes or seasons. Time has passed in the universe, and I’m just catching up with the characters 🙂
What about the rest of you?

For me, it’s whatever your writing naturally shapes itself into. I love them all, because they all showcase different types of writing.
Chaptered fic where each chapter feels complete in itself and leaves you satisfied. Connected one-shots that jump around in time just like my mind does. Long chaptered fic that unfold over years and get their own place in your head for you to mull over between chapters. Tiny one shots that are sprinkled around like jewels. stories where you get one chapter per year, and it’s so meaty that it nourishes you until the next one.
I love you guys. The things you write are so amazing.
I prefer oneshots purely for lack of time I have to read a big fic. :3 I definitely enjoy some form of connection between oneshots or reading a bigfic if I have any extra time, like a few days off or something.
