I’m not 100% sure what’s up there now but things I don’t think are on there that I’d like to see: – a post for when a story is posted on DA and AO3 that I can reblog as a fic rec. With summary and characters etc. I think it would also raise awareness for the series and get it out to a wider audience, which would be awesome because everyone should read it. – A kofi link? – A link to a commissions page – A page that lists all the related authors and betas and artists so I can follow all of them – also maybe a record of contest winners of old – schedule of events for the year including contest and when each new survey for the next published story will be – links to BA on every platform – a pretty theme
This is just the kind of response I’m looking for ❤ I’ll have to split it up to answer.

We used to do this, back in the beginning, but a lot of those posts tended to get ignored/no one was reblogging. Like I said in the last post, I think I’ll look back into it, now that I have a format that looks good on posts that I use on the main story masterpost page (link only works on desktops).
I’ll see what I can come up with over the weekend when I’m not busy, and maybe a post or two for the older stories, like the original Brothers Apart. We love if people reblog our posts! Getting the word out is the main goal of this blog, but we rarely see reblogs, mostly likes.
A kofi link?
I’ll try and get some HTML over the weekend to put the ko-fi link up on the header. I’ve been putting it off. The ko-fi page is here, if anyone’s interested before I have the time to get it up, to support the art for the stories and/or broke creator of BA.
A link to a commissions page
I don’t have a completely organized page for the commissions, but we do have a tag for them on the tumblr. It’s hard because not all of them are posted on this site, especially if we got them for story parts that aren’t published yet. If you want to see the deviantart commissions, check out the folder I have on Deviantart, and browse the commissoned art tag on tumblr.
Of course, reblogging the commissions we’ve gotten supports both us and the original artist!
A page that lists all the related authors and betas and artists so I can follow all of them
I actually had this like, half under construction before life went nuts and things got busy. I’ll get to finishing it! *Puts back on to-do list*
also maybe a record of contest winners of old
I think I had one before, I’ll dig around the older posts to see, and make one if not.
schedule of events for the year including contest and when each new survey for the next published story will be
I haven’t done this yet because it’s hard to know for sure when the next story will post, but I guess I can just change the dates if something comes up?? Maybe. Will consider options for a calendar.
links to BA on every platform
Got this on the main tumblr page (a deep abiding hatred for tumblr mobile, which renders all of this work unreachable):
There are links to all platforms, and if any links ever break, send me a message or ask and I’ll fix them!
I did recently update the main tumblr theme, but the mobile one isn’t as friendly for changes. Did anyone have any ideas? I wanted to stick close to the darker colors to keep the foreboding Supernatural atmoshpere we have going.
