Hello!

Since my college has sent me home and everything is online, I have a little more free time to update the bookshelf. Also, in light of the Corona Virus, please remember to wash your hands for 20 seconds (at least), cough in the crook of your elbow, and stay inside as much as you can. I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe! 

Much love, Admin Mae <3

Hello :) If you guys see this, this means that this is the end of the queue and I’m back in college! I’ve updated tags and tried my best to fill the queue, but it does take a lot of work... Wish me luck for my next semester! Much Love,

Admin Mae <3

Hi! It’s your local Admin Mae checking in!

So recently I've been coming in and out of Chansoobookshelf and posting some things and answering some things in free time. Next week, I have a break for about 5 days and I’ll have time to answer questions about anything. So basically I'm asking for you guys to send in asks and submissions that I’ll happily answer. They don't necessarily have to be chansoo related and they can be directed at me but it’ll be nice to get to know the followers and such!

Thank you so much <3,

Admin Mae

edit: yes there are some asks in the box but it’s not my break yet so please be patient for me! thank you! Also! there will be a Christmas post so send in your favorite chansoo Christmas fics and I’ll compile them into a big post!

Hello :(.. It’s your local Admin Mae checking in and I’m so very sorry to say but senior year has started up and I have lost all time for the bookshelves... It might have been obvious already since the queue has emptied out but I’m trying my best to balance everything.

Alas, I ask one last plead, it would be super awesome to send in recommendations of fics you like! Please send them in and I will post them soon one day!

Much Love,

Admin Mae <3

Hello, it’s your brand new Admin Mae coming in with some very very exciting news for the blog! For the past 37 hours, I have been going through 250+ posts and retagging it all. As of now there are 82 brand new tags! There are brand new tag groups. There are kink/nsfw and trigger warning tag groups. If you want to filter the trigger warnings you can just type “trigger warning” or “w: [warning here]”. To filter the nsfw/kink tags all you do is search for “kink: [kink here]”.

As of now we would highly appreciate it if you would come through with asks and submissions! Our submission box is open and so is our ask box. Please keep in mind that we have rules for submissions/asks and we have the right to not post your ask/submission if it does not follow our rules.

I am also on Baeksoo Bookshelf. The admins would really appreciate it if you could send in asks and submissions. I am about to clean up that blog too so pop on by and send in your favorite baeksoo fics or let us answer your questions!

On a happy not, I’m happy to be apart of the blog and already be able to contribute a major portion to it already. I appreciate how everyone interacts with blog and I hope to make many memories on here. Much love,

- Admin Mae

Hello everyone!

Chansoobookshelf and especially our sister blogs Baeksoobookshelf and Polyexobookshelf are desperately searching for new admins!

If you are interested in helping us out you can send an application for one or multiple bookshelves here.

If you don’t want to become a fulltime admin but you still want to help out in some way, you could always submit your favorite fic over here or just send it through our ask box

In case of any questions, you can always message Admin J here.

Thank you so much in advance!

Much love

Hello everyone!

First of all, Happy Holidays to you all. Whether you celebrate any festivities or not, we wish you a good end of the year and hope you can have an amazing 2018.

Unfortunately, even in times like these, we have to take a minute and talk about something serious.

In the last few weeks, the bookshelf has gained a lot of popularity and we are all very thankful for that. With new followers came new messages and we think it’s time to talk about some of them.

You might have seen an answer to an ask a few days ago, asking for a specific sexual dynamic for a specific character.

Even though we reasoned that we would not be able to deliver recommendations for this criteria, another person has asked for our help: 

So we thought we had to make something clear:

What you are asking for is something that is clearly contained in our red flags.

You can read all of them over here under Q06.

These red flags are there for a reason. We didn’t make them to annoy you guys or to appear edgy but because we genuinely DO NOT WANT to recommend stuff containing them.

Our red flags are:

Romanticized non-con/rape.

We don’t want sexual abuse in our recommendations unless it is used  to picture how horrible and wrong it is. 

Pedophilia.

Sexualising children is not ok. Stop it.

Incest.

We do not want to recommend stories with incestuous relationships.

Stereotypical use and depiction of top/bottom dynamics.

This is the red flag that has been coming up the most in recent messages. Gay people are real people. They’re not here to fulfill your sexual fantasies and fanfiction authors aren’t either. We do not wish to apply heteronormative stereotypes on gay couples and we don’t want to promote unhealthy kinks. 

To say certain fics are “unacceptable” because a certain character is topping/bottoming is straight up homophobic. 

If you want to read more about this issue, @exoafflatus made a post that you can read here.

None of these red flags are negotiable. We don’t feel comfortable with them and all we ask you is to respect that. If you want to talk about these issues, feel free to reach out to Admin J here.

Thank you so much for your attention.

(E)XO(E)XO

The Admins.

tldr: Please respect our red flags and stop asking for stuff we are clearly uncomfortable with.
