#beacon beam

When tomorrow's videos premiere, please remember to NOT use the #minecraft tag when discussing the server or its members.

Vampires is a YouTube series with its own set of fandom tags (vsmp, vsmpblr, crimsonblr etc.). If you're looking for a more global tag, #mcyt or #mcytblr are the ones to use. And of course, tagging spoilers always helps!

Thank you for reading, have fun... and keep a box of tissues nearby, if some of the members' teasers are to be believed 💜

It certainly does! My commiseration fruit tag has a couple of other peoples' grievances... But it's the new year, we could do with a fresh harvest!

Hi, Minecraft community! Are you annoyed by MCYT (minecraft youtuber & streamer) fan-media in the #minecraft tag? Sound off in the notes of this post or send this blog an ask, and don't be afraid to get specific— it'll help next time I need to answer asks like this one 💜

When I hear Minecraft AU/fanfic I assume you're asking about one of two things:

Fanfiction that elaborates on the implicit lore of Minecraft (basically a theory about, idk, the society who originally lived in the Trail Ruins, presented in narrative form)

Crossover fics that feature characters from another media, either playing Minecraft as a video game or being transported to the world of Minecraft, isekai-style.

Both cases are about Minecraft as a game, so by the logic I've been using with this blog they'd belong in the #minecraft tag. However, while tagging a lore-adjacent fic with #mineblr makes sense, I would avoid using it for the crossover types.

More generally, if a fic is written out in the body of a post (instead of just being a link to AO3 etc.) it's best to put it under a read more / line break, so people can scroll past it easily if that's not what they're looking for. And of course, fanfiction about mcyt servers / series / smps / etc. does NOT belong in any #minecraft tags.
