Is the Garden of Realization going to continue? Sorry if I sound rude, I was just wondering
Don’t worry anon, you’re not being rude, and it sure is being continued! I’m working on the next addition to the series– Shiro’s. If anyone has suggestions for the iteration after this one, feel free to reply to this post or send in an ask!Â

This blog isn’t dead, but it seems like Holtcest is

All of my fics can be found on AO3 if you want to read them, but I’ll not longer be hosting the previews on this blog because who fucking knows what they’ll actually do to written fic now.
My AO3 username is holtcest.
gonna be clearing out the nsfw posts on this blog just so i can keep it up.
oooo its almost like you don’t have to go into the tag or something...

Are you only posting on your discord server? Is there going to be anything coming to your or any of the other holtcest writers/ artist tumblrs?
Sorry anon, I’ve been really sick these past couple of weeks and haven’t had a lot of energy to write or edit screenshots. We’re all in a bit of a slump lately with the weather changing and holiday stress, but I can guarantee you I’ll be posting more content here soon! Thank you for your support.

Thank you!
I wound up making a blog for The Holtcest Network so I can get back to posting my normal content on this blog. Follow if you have an interest in the ship and want to keep up-to-date with the sever!
hey, just wondering how you hold up a network and stuff for a ship that only like 3 people actively support / post about! it seems a lot less like a community and more like a close knit group of people. no hate intended in this message, im just curious
We talk a lot, I suppose! The majority of our members are content creators, so that helps as well. Communities start as small groups, after all. The current “purity culture” on tumblr certainly doesn’t help right now with community building, since most people are scared of being called out for shipping “sinful” or “wrong” things like incest ships. I guess I wanted a place to help support other people making content for the things I also wanted to read.
So, there’s no real reason why I needed to make a network, other than the fact that outside of tumblr, a lot of people actively consume holtcest content. (<– links to the works listed below; warning for explicit content and sibling incest.)
Those are my most popular fics by hits, and there’s some clear interest that people have in fics like that. So, there’s much more support on other sites like AO3 then there are on tumblr. And if I can reach people who might feel like they don’t have a place in fandom because they ship holtcest, then I want to offer it to them. (Although we don’t accept minors; this is mostly due to my own policy of not interacting with fandom minors because I don’t want to be responsible for a young teen’s content consumption.)
So TL;DR
The Holtcest Network is a tiny group of people right now, but there are lots of holtcest shippers off tumblr and away from the current “purity” ant/i culture. THN is an attempt as comradere between ship enthusiasts that would otherwise have no place to talk about it or bounce ideas off each other.

Rules of a Happy, Healthy Fandom
Rule 1, Don’t like, Don’t read
Pretty simple and straight forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s tagged as a ship you dislike or you’re 10 chapters in, if you don’t like it or it disturbs you too much, stop. The back button is your friend.
Rule 2, Properly Tag
If your fic contains anything possibly triggering or squicky, tag it. If your fic is an AU, tag it. If your fic is about a ship, tag it. Vice versa, do not overtag or improperly tag. If your fic is based around Stucky, don’t tag Stony.
Rule 3, Filters are your friend
If the app or website has an option to filter tags, use it. If you need to download an extension, download it. If someone has missed an important tag, you can politely message them requesting to add it.
Rule 4, Don’t harass people for shipping your NoTp
We all have that one ship we absolutely positively hate with every fibre of our being. And chances are, someone hates your Otp with the same ferocity. Don’t harass people over shipping your NoTp.
Rule 5, Do your research
If you’re writing a fic and a plot point or character is introduced you’re not sure how to write, research it! Google is your friend! There are also blogs dedicated to assisting people with certain topics such as @writingwithcolor
Rule 6, Your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay
Chances are, someone gets off to something you hate. And, that’s okay! We all have different and varying tastes!
Rule 7, Feedback keeps content creators creating
Likes, comments, reblogs, and recomendations keep your fanfic writers writing. Where would writers be if no one read their works? Where would artists be if no one bought their art?
Rule 8, If you want it, write it
It’s bound to happen to everyone, you just can’t find a specific fic for a specific ship or it’s that one rare pair no one appreciates like you do. What do you do in this situation? You write it yourself! It may not be the best-written or most poetic or maybe it’s just a pure crackfic, but that’s okay!
Rule 9, Fanon is not Canon
Likewise, headcanons are not canon. And if someone has a different headcanon, that’s okay! Sure, we may ignore canon for fics but headcanons and fanfiction and fanart are not canon!
Rule 10, Fiction is not reality
And the most important of all, fiction is not reality. Writing abuse fics does not mean you support abuse in real life. Writing suicidal characters does not mean the writer is suicidal. Writing glorified murder fics does not mean the writer supports murder in real life.
If you have more positive rules, feel free to add! These are just 10 little rules I find to be very important for a happy healthy fandom. Remember, fandoms are supposed to be for fun! You write that shameless self-insert Mary Sue OC, you write that rarepair smut, you write that 250k slow burn Coffee Shop AU! You make fandom as fun as you want it to be!
Thanks for promoing my fics, hun.

I thought it would be cool to have a discord for holtcest shippers, would anyone be interested? I’m not just going to let anyone in (because that’s a fast way to let ant/s into our community), but I wanted to make an interest check to see if that’s something any of you would be interested in. I think it’d be a great way for content creators to bounce ideas back and forth in addition to being a nice place to talk about holtcest.
