    Black History Month: Essential Black Authors to Read | The Daily Show's List

    By toomanycurls

    One hallmark of any Black History Month is getting a reading list. More important than a reading list is knowing what people have thought of books or if they are planning to read any on a given list so:  Here is a list transcribed from Essential Black Authors to Read | The Daily Show. I'd love to know which people have read or are planning to read from this list or from any list on Black History Month.  STAMPED: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram Kendi and Jason Reynolds  M

Potpourri Series

Our Favorite Female Authors | March 12th, 2020

Welcome to the third installment of our 2020 Potpourri series! As we are a fanfiction site and March is Women's History Month, we felt nothing could be more fitting than talking about our favorite female authors. Some are well known authors in their genre, and others many of us were made to read in school. No matter how we discovered them, these women have made an impact in our lives and we would love to share with you a little information about who they are and why we love them so much.

Rager of the Decade Wrap-Up

There’s glitter all over the ground in the clearing, and some of the centaurs wander aimlessly, carrying their horseshoes in their human hands, clearly having not slept a wink. The rager of the decade has ended, and a new decade has dawned. But wait! Before you go, there are still a few things worth celebrating. ? Over the course of the month, a whopping total of 769 gifts were exchanged in a total of 46 different wishlists. And while this wasn’t a House Cup competition, we love a good

Clarification on "Safe Space"

We've gotten some questions lately about what we mean when we say that we want our site (including both our forums and our archive) to be inclusive/a safe space, so we'd like to offer a little clarification. When we say that we want to be a safe space, we mean that we want FFT to be a place where people can participate without being afraid that they will be attacked for who they are - especially if they belong to groups who are often attacked, invalidated, or even have their physical safety
