FAQ about the blog
Note: This blog is not spoiler safe! Spoilers may be contained in all posts for the entire series! Proceed with caution.
Hi and welcome to my shitposting side project! I hope you enjoy your time here.
I have had several questions through replies, asks, and DM's inquiring about certain things pertaining to this blog (how often I post, where the quotes come from, tags, etc.) and I just wanted to fill everyone in on them in one central post so there's not a bunch of different posts and reblogs. And don't mind the rainbow colors scattered throughout. It's spring here and I'm feeling it.
If this does not pertain to you, and you're just here for the giggles, please ignore this post and move along!
Why is this blog even here?
This blog was started as a way to make me smile. I started doing this in my primary blog's drafts shortly after TWOTQ was released to make myself giggle, but it was getting really crowded in there, and I had a 3AM thought. If it makes me laugh, it might make someone else laugh too.
So here's how this blog works :
Questions about Posting :
I post once daily at about 12:00pm (noon) EST. Sometimes, when I'm adding to the queue, I'll find one that I really like and want to post one earlier, but generally speaking, once daily.
I am not currently taking submissions as I'm working through my exorbitant number of backlogged drafts as it is. I'm really trying not to inundate the standard character tags with this blog.
I've been asked if I play favorites with who I choose for quotes. No. I don't. At all. I certainly have favorite characters, but I try to keep things pretty spread evenly as far as I can. There are some characters that are bound to end up with more quotes because they're more central characters: Poppy, Casteel, Kieran, Sera, Nyktos, etc. We simply have spent more time with these characters so we know them better and have more situations between them.
Sources for Incorrect Quotes :
This question has come up SEVERAL times, especially with anons.
All quotes featured on this blog come from third party sources. I have never, nor will I ever, claim these quotes sourced by other people as my own creation. My sole contribution, and why they're posted here in the first place, is misquoting them under the guise of characters from Jennifer L. Armentrout's Blood & Ash and Flesh & Fire series.
I try to always remember to source where I found the quote in the tags of the post. This is not always (frequently) the originator of that quote. If the original source is brought to my attention, I will also tag them in the tags along with where I found it in the first place. I firmly believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Also of note, any of these FBAA related that happen to coincide with something that someone already posted, here or somewhere else, is completely coincidental. I do my best to try and not post one if it's already been posted by someone else, but I'm not perfect. If anyone notices this, please let me know and I will remove mine immediately!
Tags on Posts
Characters : Any time a character is used or mentioned in a post, they will be tagged with their name (full name, if available). If there are multiple derivatives of the name, those will likely be tagged as well (Penellaphe Balfour/Poppy Balfour/Poppy Da'Neer; Seraphena Mierel/Sera Mierel; etc.).
Books : I try to tag whatever books may be relevant to the post. FBAA is the most frequent book I tag as I see it as the base book for the fandom. However, for the most part, I try to keep the series separated if necessary and only tag books where the context of the quote may play into it (if something is AKOFAF specific, for instance).
Spoilers : Some of the quotes I've released after TWOTQ hold some relevance to events that happened within that book. Due to the book being newly released, I've been tagging anything remotely spoilery for that book with a "twotq spoilers" tag. I will likely do the same thing if this blog is still alive when ALITF comes out in the fall and for any subsequent releases for a several month period after that book was released.
NSFW: Sometimes, rarely, posts may include themes or, more likely, words not suitable for younger audiences or for workplace viewing. Though this blog (and the books) are not intended for younger readers, in an effort to be more mindful, posts containing these will be tagged with nsfw (not safe for work).
Anything going forward that I may post or respond to here that isn't an incorrect quote will be tagged with "#not fbaa" or "not an incorrect qutoe"- Real life shit happens sometimes, folks. This is for that inevitability, but also applies to this post here. I don't plan on frequently posting anything other than quotes here. I like this blog for what it is. But in case that happens...
Sources : I tag the sources in the tags with "source: [thing]. I have had people in the past reblog a post of mine attaching the originating source onto it instead of the one where I found it. If this is brought to my attention, after verifying the claim because internet, I will add that tag to my original post.
Okay, but what are your sources?
Generators : I've used these two incorrect quote generators (Scatterpatter's and Perchance) in the past. They have great variety and the quotes are defaulted to anonymous persons.
Pinterest : I've pinned so many of the damned things on Pinterest that I'm now inundated with the damned things every time I log on, so there as well.
Other incorrect quote blogs: If I'm struggling to come up with one, despite my absolutely massive collection of drafts, I will surf other incorrect quote sources and find a favorite or two. There are some really great ones out there. Some of my favorites include @incorrectgreeks (Twitter), @lesbian-deadpool (tumblr), and @incorrectnessduskwood (tumblr).
...everything else : And finally, I've pulled quotes from Vine and TikTok compilations, movies and tv shows, Twitter, other books, and the like. I was watching Frozen with my mom again a while back (my momma loves Olaf. Bugger off) and when he mentions that he had been impaled by the icicle, all I could think of was Duke Teerman.
Thank you!
Thank you all sincerely from the bottom of my heart for taking part in this blog, whether it was a like, reblog, reply, or follow. These past few months have been tough in the real world for me and you have no idea what having this space has meant.
