Can we make a limit to how much someone posts under the CB tags as I saw someone posts 6+ times in less than a hour.

We shall remain impartial towards your opinions on canon, fanon, and the Cinderella Boy community as a whole. However, we've decided to take this moment to talk about fandom etiquette.

Gently and with much love and kindness, Anon, no. That's not how Tumblr or fandom works. People do not and are not expected to take turns when making posts. It's their blog; they can do what they want with it. On the other hand, Tumblr has a built-in block feature (including giving you the ability to block certain users as well as blocking tags). If there is a user whose posts you want to see less of, you can block them (very easy, I promise), or if a mutual posts a bunch of stuff from a fandom you don't like, you can block that tag or whatever tag your mutual uses for those fandom posts.

Please use this opportunity to tailor your dashboard to how you want it to be by using the tools provided to you. Thank you for sending in your ask.

By the way, we, as Cinderella Boy fans, want to use this time for the fandom to go as hard as it can in order to get a season three!

Heloo not sure if this is really a confession, I moreso had an idea and I'm too shy to post it on my own blog. Mods you are welcome to disregard and delete this ask

So I had an idea for a stargoth fic but I'm conflicted on writing it, much less posting it, because it would be nsfw. I know this series is aimed at teens and most of the fans are minors, while I'm an adult (20s). I'm not sure if this is something people would be okay with. I'm making this post to sort of gauge people's reactions and whether or not this kind of fic would be okay. So yeah-

People don't have to be okay with your work in order for you to publish it. Fic writers write fic and fan artists draw art for their own sense of joy/emotion, not to produce content for other people. It's a happy bonus when people interact with the work positively.

My golden rule for posting nsfw works is that you must tag it and rate it appropriately and honestly so others will know whether or not it's something they can/would like to read. Additionally, if you're clear with your tags, you'll get people who are excited to read the things you're including in your work.

(Heads up, if something is just hinted at in your work and you tag it, you may get someone who's disappointed that you said that your work contains BDSM but all you've included was a pair of handcuffs on the dresser.)

Thank you for your ask! Have fun writing and posting!

The original rating of the media has nothing to do with fanfiction. While ao3 is the optimal place to put it, as long as it's under a "read more" it should be fine to put on Tumblr. We've also seen someone mention using #CBnsfw for nsfw Cinderella Boy content and personally agree it's a good idea.

You can also share your fic from Ao3 by clicking on "share" > "tumblr". It'll post a summary of the fic along with the rating and you can use that tag for reach. Here are some screenshots to show you what I mean.
