"Hey! I wrote something great! Why didn’t she reblog it!?" Fear not! The queue is long and covers many subjects. If you want to make 100% sure it gets reblogged, send it in as an ask or a submission. Those get published right away. I try to reblog as much as I can but there are a lot of blogs, a lot of subjects, and I can’t be on tumblr everyday so I try to build up a large queue when I have an hour or so to sit down while I’m watching a movie or something. Don’t feel shy about sending stuff in. Nothing is stupid. Unless it’s outright rude nothing is unpublished.
