Happy birthday as well as a belated rest in peace to actor and singer Al Matthews, remembered by old school sci fi fans as United States Colonial Marine Sergeant Apone from “Aliens” (1986).

In real life, Matthews was in the United States Marine Corps. He served in Vietnam and received thirteen combat awards and decorations, two of which were purple hearts.

Matthews passed away on September 22nd of this year.

Normally I don’t like bringing this up, but: Tumblr is making it increasingly difficult for writers and artists to get their posts to show up in tags and searches, meaning that our fics and art are being exposed to fewer people. 

Yes, it’s still possible to get posts to show up, but in the case of the search function, it’s only if they have no links - not even links to other Tumblr posts. For people like me who include links to other chapters in my fic so readers can get caught up on chapters they might miss, this is a huge problem. I basically have no choice but to include those links, or else I would make things massively inconvenient for my readers.

So why am I telling everyone this? Because this means reblogs are becoming more and more important to creators. With posts so difficult to find in searches and tags, reblogs are one of the few other ways for people to find new artists or writers.

You’re under no obligation to reblog my stuff, of course, but I want to put it out there why reblogs are so important to those of us who write/draw/create content.

(Also: While I’ve personally verified the stuff that’s going on with searches, I have no clue what’s going on with tags. Some of my stuff is showing up there, some isn’t, seemingly with little correlation to the links included. So tags might not be quite as strict, but they do seem to be less consistent.)

I’m genuinely not trying to guilt anyone into reblogging my shit with this, but it’s still bizarre and awful.

[gothiccharmschool]

Same here. I just double-checked this, and while some older posts with Gothic Charm School links show up in searches, there are very few of the links to newer Gothic Charm School articles.

In short: do not feel obligated to reblog my “Hey, new post at Gothic Charm School!” announcements, but if you do, I’ll be grateful.
