Welcome to F/O-r Your Consideration, a blog where @carbo-ships posts one character a day that selfshippers should consider F/O-ing in some capacity. Romantic, familial, platonic, doesn't matter. This is like the free samples booth at Costco. Except with blorbos. Have fun. Posts every day at 5pm EST / 10pm BST. More info and submission guidelines below.
FAQ
Q: ... What.
A: I dunno, man.
Q: Selfship? F/O? These words are not in the Bible. I'm lost.
A: "Selfshipping" is when someone "ships" themself or a representation of themself with a fictional character (often called their "fictional other" or F/O). This can be romantic, platonic, familial, anything you want. Did you ever wish Atticus Finch was your dad? Contrats. He's your familial F/O now. And a "blorbo" is any character you are especially fond of.
Q: Are submissions open?
A: Yes. Not right now! Taking a break :)
Q: How do I submit a character for consideration?
A: Just send me an ask with their name and source, and I'll handle the rest! Note that because the blog only posts once per day, it may be a while before they appear. Here are some submission guidelines:
- If the character is rather obscure, please include a picture of them in your submission. This should not be fan-art unless it is your work or you have the artist's permission for me to reupload it.
- Please only submit one character per ask unless the characters are from the same source or should otherwise be considered as a set.
- Just to keep things simple, this blog only posts adult characters. (However, if I mess up and accidentally post a 17-year-old or something, just use your best judgment and leave them for the younger folks.)
Q: I submitted a character, but they haven't been posted. What gives?
They're probably just waiting in the very long queue. That, or I couldn't verify that they're an adult. If you'd like to check on the status of your post, you can message me non-anonymously with the character's name and I'll go check for you.
Q: One of your posts genuinely awoke something within me.
A: Good. Please tell me. I want to know.
Q: You should remove the post about [character].
A: DM me about it so we can privately chat about your concerns. Anonymous messages will be ignored. This is so that I can ask follow-up questions without publicly embarrassing the submitter.
May I suggest an oc I have had for a while that I think people will like but I also selfship with? (I share my f/os)
Sorry, it's so funny to me that these messages came in literally like an hour apart. I feel like I just witnessed a breakup. Yes, sure, suggest whoever you want. Might be easiest to link any relevant blogs/socials where you post about him, though, so that people can learn more about him.
