Just a quick note to let you know:

FICS: this tag can be found in the sidebar. It’ a tag that allows you to browse ONLY the fic recs made by ME—not the ‘recs from you’ post, the asks, the announcements, or even the lists. Only the fics. 

TUMBLR APP USERS: for those of you browsing the blog on their phone/tablet/with the tumblr app, I was informed that it’s not possible to see the sidebar on it, therefore there’s now a link to the TAGS in the description of the blog which should give you access to the tags and index now.

TWITTER: dirty bookshelves is on Twitter. I tweet about: fic recs, fic lists, important announcements, fandom posts—basically most things except for asks.

THINGS YOU CAN BLACKLIST:

• requests: for all the single fic requests AND the lists
• announcement: for stuff about the blog
• fandom stuff: for posts about, you guessed it, fandom related topics
• asks: for ask posts (not all of them are tagged I’m sorry, I can’t seem to tag as I answer and sometimes forget to edit to add the tag—either way, I tend to delete them after a while so they don’t clutter the blog to much)
• follower love: for when I post your lovely messages and say thank you
• recs from you: for posts with fics submitted by followers of the blog

TAGS & INDEX: of course the best place to try and find the kind of fic you’re looking for (hopefully)

Look, I’m going to take this opportunity to make something clear: There will be no kink shaming on this blog. Ever. Are there kinks that I don’t get/like? Yes. Does that mean they’re bad/wrong? NO. NEVER.

So you don’t like/get a kink? Then don’t read it. Simple as that. There’s no need for any condescending ‘ew’. You could even look it up and try to understand it, instead of being a judgemental ass.

FICTION is there to explore ideas and concepts. It’s a limitless universe that we build for ourselves and not everything is going to please you and that’s okay, that’s even good. Are there problematic things that can/need to be discussed and explored in the way they are used and represented in fiction? Well yes, of course. But there’s no need to shame people for liking the things they like, especially in fictional universes, and when it comes to relationships, dynamics, and sexual preferences/desires etc.

So. Whether you like age difference, student/teacher dynamics, mpreg, slave fics, D/s dynamics, BDSM, whipping, torture, rimming, felching, spanking, figging, finger-fucking, marking, tattoos, anal sex, oral sex, breath play, come play, blood play, knife play, orgasm denial, forced marriages, genderbending, nipple play, medical kinks, voyeurism, exhibitionism, crossdressing, noncon, dubcon, sex pollen, pony play, role play, humiliation, frottage, fisting, fetishes, daddy kinks, etc. etc. etc. let me repeat this:

THERE. WILL. BE. NO. KINK. SHAMING. ON. THIS. BLOG.

kink shaming is bad. 
There also won’t be any pairing shaming, or fandom shaming. It is also bad.

Thank you.

(note: I think anon should also be aware that male pregnancy does happen in real life, not just in fiction, and that it isn’t, in fact, gross.)

For those interested: huge list of kinks, tropes, and clichés in fanfic this way.
