hey. now that tumblr has completely fucked external links, i’ve noticed people have workarounds for artists who want to link their patreon/redbubble/what have you, but this doesn’t exactly work for writers who host their work on external sites like ao3.
please think about writers too. we have a hard enough time getting our work spread as it is, and now if you post a link to your latest fic it doesn’t even show up in tags. sure, i could post it all on tumblr as well, but then i have no idea if anyone is actually reading it. there’s no hit counter, no anonymous button to say “hey i liked this!” like on ao3. writing is an art too, and it hurts like nothing else to have something you poured your soul into ignored.
boost the shit out of writing. at this point reblogs are all we have to reach a wider audience.
What the fuck, tumblr?
