(TLDR at bottom if you don’t want to read fat amounts of text!)
Apologies for the sudden disappearance! I truly appreciate the patience you all have with me in getting to ship submissions. That being said, a few updates, reminders, and changes I’ll be smashing together into this post.
1) Fill every category properly in the Google Form submission.
An issue that keeps showing up is regarding image attachments. I will not find images for your ship. It takes time, a resource I am in shortage of, and it makes space for dissatisfaction to crawl in—wrong ship, incorrect characters, fanmade AU, etc. I also don’t mind sparse submissions, but having no tags or trigger warnings makes it difficult for me to post—especially if I’m not apart of the fandom.
2) Posting will happen every Sunday.
So far, posting everything all at once has been working instead of using a queue. So. I’ll let it build up until Sunday, then I make posts here all at once. Unless someone gives me feedback that this is the worst system ever, I’ll continue doing so. But in all seriousness, feedback is appreciated. Please. Don’t suffer in silence.
3) Underage ships will lack fandom tags.
Any ship that has a minor won’t be tagged with fandom tags. This is just a safety mechanism to avoid antis or others outside of our little circle from stumbling into this blog and attacking it. I’ve established this before, but I believe people miss this point.
4) Not sure? Ask questions!
Ways to ask me questions: DM on Tumblr, sending an ask on Tumblr, question directly embedded in your submission in the “Any comments, questions, requests, or inquiries? (Optional)” section of the Google Form.
Reading the Google Form’s rules and following them will only help your ship get submitted smoothly!
5) Now, if you’ve made it this far you may be wondering, why has Key not posted in so long? (Assuming you do care, of course.)
The answer is: college. Monday to Friday I am in lectures for 8 hours straight, and it gets exhausting. Unfortunately, a very boring reason. That’s why I’m hoping a Sunday schedule will help get this blog back on track!
In all honestly though, thank you all for your support. We’ve recently hit 100 followers and are still rising in number! This is such an awesome milestone to hit, and I couldn’t have done it without your courage to throw a ship out there to get voted on by the people of Tumblr. I’m sorry to have my first post in a while essentially scolding my audience, but despite it all, I do enjoy this. I enjoy reading the genuine passion in your submissions, and ships I wouldn’t have even recognized making it out there to be seen. This is what fandom is all about. Thank you all!
TLDR; Please fill out the ship submission form out properly and fully (I won’t find images for you), Tumblr ship polls will happen every Sunday, underage ships won’t be posted in fandom tags, and I’ve been out of commission because of long college days. And, a thank you all for your support! Thank you!
