A/N: The most common requested tutorial have been how to make a masterlist. It’s pretty easy, you can’t do anything wrong and this way you can both use it on computer and mobile without having to open Safari automatically. This requires a laptop to create.
Step 1:
Masterlists can be done in various ways, some just prefer to have the links while others like to add pictures and rank the stories from new to old along with likes and reblogs. This just shows how to do the linking so you can add names and pictures yourself later if you’d like.
First you start with opening a text post on your laptop. Text post is the one that has the icon Aa with text below. Press open.
Step 2:
Now that you have the Tumblr text post open it’s time to give it a title. It’s the first one your readers will see so give it something they will like about. You can simply call it masterlist or be a weird fuck like me that uses capital letters and probably the longest masterlist title to date. Everything is up to you. And with that, you can also give a little description to your masterlist just to make it more personal but this is of course optional.
Step 3:
Now we’re at the exciting part! This is where you add your stories, one shots, fanfictions, preferences, imagines, scenarios, blurbs smuts etc.. You can categorize it after that but you can also add everything to one large text post. But be aware, you can only have 350 links in one text post, if added more all the links will disappear at once.
When you have written a boy and also the title of your story, mark the title and a few options will appear. To make sure the title will become a link you need to pick the icon that looks like a crooked 8, the one right after the H. If you want to be even quicker mark the title and press [Ctrl+k] That allows you to insert and copy-paste the link to your story and after you press enter, the title will now be a link. That easy!
Step 4:
You continue to do this with all of your writings until you have everything you need. Now you can have fun and add pictures before the boys name, change the fonts and also the sizes of the links in case you don’t want it to fill much. You can add description below or after your links so people can get a summary of what they are about to read, you can add hearts and stars in front of your stories to rate them after notes and you can put them in alphabetic order or after newest to oldest. The rest is up to you.
When you feel like everything is prepared and ready to go press post! From now on you will continue to add links on this post and when people are asking for your masterlist you can give out the link of the text post! :-)
