#thf 20k

Thank you for being a part of the blog. We honestly couldn't do what we do without all of you here. 

You're our first message asking about us! Thanks for that! 

Sue and I (Kris) are the only active admins right now. You'll see me everyday, Sue does a lot of the more technical side. We both have a love for organization, so together I think we make a good team.

We aren't in the same places. I'm in New Jersey (very, very close to New York City), so I'm in EST. Sue is in Madrid, so she's in CET. 

As part of the THF 20K celebration:

Here we go! We are going to have a Throwback Thursday (well, between today and tomorrow and Friday). We don't have a lot of submissions to queue up tonight, so to combat that, I need your help!

This is for all our die-hards that have been here since around the inception of this blog, circa May 2012. If we have posted the first chapter of a COMPLETED story or a one shot within the first year, send me an submission with the info listed below.

Now here's the fun part: I will queue up your first chapter (again, only completed stories) or your one shot (for all you prolific writers, that have a vast majority of both, pick one or the other - and we'll give you another chance later on this week. This time, though, you have the option of including a MOBILE FRIENDLY link version of your completed fic OR your master stories page.

MOBILE FRIENDLY = a post on your blog (not a page created on your blog). Pages aren't recognized by the tumblr app, and many of our readers only use the mobile app. We want to get you as many readers as you possibly can get, this is why we're asking for the mobile version.

If your story on here doesn't have the header (since that's a newer installation), now's your chance to include it. YAY! It'll help us get the blog in order a bit too. OR you have the other option of asking as to reblog it from your blog, if it's already in our archives. You'll have to make sure the header is included.

So here's what we need:

A link to the one shot or first chapter of a completed story (originally posted on this blog between May 2012 and April 2013) - or we can reblog it from your blog if it's archived on here.

A mobile friendly version of your completed story (just one link) and/or a mobile friendly version of your fic masterlist.

A completed header

In the subject line, THROWBACK

If you want to recommend an older story, we may be able to accommodate that too. Just let me know that its not your story, but you'd like the story to find a new life. 

I'm going to up the stakes a bit for you authors out there to sweeten the deal even further. IF you decide to take part in this and reblog your first chapter (obviously this only goes for multi chapter fics), we'll do a drawing for the chance to reblog your story chapter by chapter for the duration of the story. If it's 20 chapters, you'll get exposition for 20 days...  Get it?

We're hoping that everyone that stumbles upon this blog loves Hiddleston fanfiction just as much as you do! I certainly do, and I know there are others...  but we'll take the casual readers too.

Everyone always seems genuinely surprised by the notes that they get, and the responses. I'm amazed by the generosity, and the gratitude that readers want to give. That truly makes this fandom standout for me. The readers that can't wait to give back.

The Globe Situation by crescent-moon-rising: Jealous!Tom and smut. Tom is not happy to find pictures of his girlfriend with both Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Fassbender at a Golden Globes afterparty.  OFC decides to use this newfound jealous nature to her advantage, with NSFW results.

I'm so glad that you found this to be a forum for you. We love getting all of your updates. Readers, be sure to stop by crescent-moon-rising's blog so you can read all of Tom and Noelle's journey, you won't want to miss it.

I’m so proud to post my stories and read others stories on here. You’ve given writers a place to express themselves. Everyone is so talented. I had never wrote a fan fiction before, and I was scared to let anyone read make it right.This place gave me the confidence I needed to post it. Congrats! I’m so happy to be apart of this page. Readers,Authors you’re all amazing!

We're honored to have you, and that you've chosen us to submit your stories. We hope that this is a blog for both readers and writers, writers to express themselves and readers to be entertained. Everyone is talented, and deserves to find their place in the fandom, and we wanted to be just one platform of that. Ah, magical that you find your confidence here. It takes a lot of bravery and guts to put yourself out there. Be proud!

Make It Right by starlitsky99.

Fiction/Fantasy. What if you thought that the one person you could count on in this world, to be the best version of themselves, never really existed, and you’re world as you knew it came crashing down?

How kind of you to say. We do try to reach as many people as possible that are interested in reading fanfiction for one person, one talent. I'm thrilled that you are apart of the family, and we're honored to have talented writers, like yourself. We want everyone to be recognized for their contribution to the fandom as a whole, why we're sharing this milestone with all of you.

I'm excited to read all the fics that come through that appeal to me. I try to read as many as possible. We have a contest going on right now on the blog, we'd love to see more submissions for it. Here's all the details:

CLICHES REDEEMED

Submissions for the contest will be open for two weeks, which means that all stories must be in our inbox on October 18, at 11:59pm EST October 28th at 11:59pm.

Voting will end on October 30, at 09:59pm EST November 10, at 5:59pm EST.  (Edited 10/10/14)

Oh, I had to answer this one before I signed off for the night. Fans like this are so so special. Thank you for being one of the ones that's hung in there. How very flattering that even though you enjoy other fandoms, dare I say, more than Hiddles, you're still here. And that's okay! I'm in several other fandoms as well. How many of us are exclusive to a fandom anymore? 

I'm absolutely chuffed to bits that you've mentioned our Fitzgerald story. That story is not only the only Fitzgerald story, but it is in a class all its own. (Literally and figuratively) Not many are brave enough to take on such a complex character/PERSON, but elementarydata did it with such ease and grace. I love that story myself.

Thank you for reminding me of it!

The Warm Wind in Her Hair by elementarydata

Romance: Myrtle finds her husband in bed with his assistant and realizes her failing marriage is really over.  She’s not ready to deal with all of it yet, and decides on an impromptu trip to Paris.  A friendly American named Gil suggests she take a walk through the streets of Paris at midnight.

This is exactly why I love this blog, this community! That we've been part of one achievement that led to the next and the next, and another after that. That's pretty incredible! We absolutely want you to reach your audience! The Hiddlestoner community is a massive one, and we're happy to be a part of the fandom, have a place in it. I think that's why this milestone has been one to celebrate, not for just this blog. But our place in the fandom. 

Think about it. Fanfiction has a pretty bad rep, but there's enough of us that believe in it, so we can turn that belief on it's head. There's proof enough in the level of fanfic that gets submitted here, and followers to prove it.

So it's a win for everyone involved, and I think that's massive.

Thank you for sharing your stories with us, and involving us in your journey. We're proud to be apart of that, and you've chosen to include us in it. Truly blessed that THF has done that for you.

To close up for the night, and because I kind of hijacked your ask, I'm going to queue up A Very Long Time, and promote it here!
