Folks, if you’re new to posting fic on Tumblr, a very important thing you need to know is how to insert the “read more” link that will hide the bulk of your fic under a cut so it doesn’t clog the feed. This is basic posting etiquette for Tumblr. You don’t want to post your entire fic with no cut and force people to scroll past all 10k of your story to see the next post in a feed or under a tag.
So once you copy and paste the text of the fic into the posting window, underneath the headers/tags/intro, put the cursor onto a blank line and this toolbar will appear:
You want to click/tap the little guy at the end, with the two straight lines on the top and bottom and the wavy line in the middle. That will insert a cut that will look like this in your post:
When you hit post you’ll see a blue “read more” link in your post that will allow people to click/tap on it and reveal the remainder of the text in your post which will look like this:
Generally you should put this cut underneath the title, summary and warnings. You can put a couple of lines of the story itself above the cut. (Individual fandoms have different customs, so look at how other people are posting their stuff and what info they include.)
If you’re thinking “but I don’t want people to just scroll past my fic!” bear in mind that forcing people to have to scroll through your whole fic is rude. Other people may not be into whatever your fic is about, or they may want to wait and read it later, and making them have to skim it just to see the next post is going to irritate people. If you do it repeatedly (especially if you write anything with sensitive topics, kinks, explicit content, etc.) people may just block you entirely. Then nobody will see anything you write.
I’m tagging this for the Pedro Pascal fandom since I just explained this to one person who wasn’t aware of how to do this, but it’s a pretty Tumblr-wide standard so feel free to reblog.

…Anyway, I created a Userscript for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it’s not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I’ll be uploading it
soonishnow!You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don’t have it:
- Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Chrome Extension
- Once it’s installed into Firefox/Chrome you can proceed with adding this style or any other.
To add the style, follow the instructions:
- Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023
- Click on “install”.
- Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you’ll have a button that says “install style”, click there.
(Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!)
If you don’t want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/
Be sure to check for updates, I’m fixing things as I go! To update click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button below! If you experience any bugs let me know - feel free to edit it yourself as well! P.S. Works just fine alongside Xkit!
Check under the cut for the changelog and known issues!
NEW UPDATE as of 16/08/23, 20:12 BST v6.5
May your blessings ever increase, friend.

i hope the beloved mutuals don’t think me unintellectual for this but i love romantic subplots i gobble them up delightedly with very few exceptions. ‘oh fuck yes a little bowl of seeds for me’ etc
“how are they finding time to fall in love when the worlds ending” and what are we all doing right now 🤨

i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

The worst thing about Farscape is that you meet these two and they become your standard for characters and ships and that’s the end for you, because nothing and no one can reach their level ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
