#Big thanks to people participating in polls or sending me asks leaving tags or comments on my art! It really is very encouraging :3

[caffichai]

It's a little while till Lunar New Year, so in the meantime...

If you think "something else" and comment/send an ask, I'll definitely put a lot of consideration into that! At the very least I'll probably add it to a future poll!

Nini’s birthday plan 2019 to be annoyingly postive ~

So, it’s that time of the year again. 

My birthday is coming soon on November 18th, and like every year, I thought of making a wish list. But, this year I decided to actually make a little activity. 

I love my birthday, and I want to share it with all of you because this place has been a great source of positiveness lately and, even after the worst parts of it, I’ve been blessed with your support.

That said,

~ ACITIVITIES

I’ve decided that, starting November 10th, there are a few things I would love to do and they include your participation. From the 10th to the 18th, we are going to be positive as fuck, let’s annoy haters.

November 10th: Fanartists appreciation day. Like last year, I’ll make a post appreciating my favorite artists in the shyan fandom, I’ll be also reblogging my favorite works from them even If I have reblogged them before. I would totally love to see if other people make their own appreciation posts as well, don’t doubt on sending them my way to reblog them or tag me in them.

I’m doing only shyan artists because there aren’t many and to avoid unpleasant encounters with other sides of the fandom. I want peace, I’m not fighting anyone on my birthday month!

November 11th: Follow Forever. I know this is something most people do on New Year’s or whatnot, but I already have other plans for December so I’ll be doing this now. It’s a little post appreciating my favorite blogs that include mutuals, writers, gif and graphic makers, etc. All people I follow and that I love seeing on my dash.

On this day, you can totally rec to me and others your favorite blogs. Can be off or on anon, I’ll post the messages and we can check out blogs together. 

You can include in your ask with your recs postive messages directed to said blogs, I will @ them and we can have an appreciation day for everyone.

November 12th: Favorite fanfiction. I’ll be doing a rec list of my top 50 favorite shyan fanfics in the fandom and a smaller list for my favorite buzzships fanfics in the fandom. 

I would love it if you guys could recommend me your favorite shyan fanfics on that day. Can be off or on anon, I may read the ones that take my attention, but I will certainly rec them all at the Library in one single list that will be posted on the 13th. 

If you want to also make your own list, please do. Tag the Library and/or this blog, I will reblog them for sure in the Library!

I will also be commenting on said fanfics I will put on those recs, even if I had commented them before. This is just to remind the authors how much I love their work and why. I encourague you guys to do the same!

November 13th: Rec your fave something to someone. Which means, send me and other people you like, off or on anon, recs for music, tv shows, blogs, fics, movies, books, FANDOMS IF YOU WANT, and talk about why you love it. I sure as hell want to hear it.

By the end of the day or on November 14th, I’ll do a post with all recs by category. Meaning, music list, tv shows list, etc.

I’ll also rec my favorite things, too!

November 14th: Apreciate your own work day. That. We are gonna go as hard as we go for our faves and appreciate our own work, doesn’t matter what kind of work is.

On November 3th, I’m going to post a poll where you can vote for your favorite fanfics written by me. On this day, I’ll post the results and talk about each fic. This was my original plan to celebrate my birthday, but I decided I really prefer if I can give something to people instead of just having one benefit for me.

Though, it’s my birthday and a little ego bust never hurt anyone. On this day, I will start posting a series of edits made by me based on the top5 fics you guys chose.

I’ll be self-reblogging my fics, some edits and my favorite headcanons/aus I have made for the fandom on this day. I invite you guys to do the same.

Rec your own fics, art, headcanons, blog, do it!

Make edits and art for your fics, post them that day. If you don’t have fics or what, make art or edits that you want to see, do it for yourself and other will love it, too.

Don’t be afraid to say “I fucking nailed this one”, be proud of your creations and how you have gotten better with time. Appreciate your work!

November 15th: Pet Day! Which means, show me your cute pets. You can submit your pics, make your own post and tag me, or just send me an ask talking about your pets. I’ll be making a post showing mine!

We can also appreciate the boys’, the crew’s and other buzzfeeder’s pets!

Make headcanons, art, fics, whatever about your fave buzzfeeder’s pets!

November 16th: Favorite Author appreciation. We all have one and like with the fanartist appreciation day, I’ll be doing a post to appreciate all my favorite authors on tumblr and another one for all my favorite authors only on AO3 (or that I know only on AO3 lol).

I’ll be making a rec list with one or two favorite fics for each author on my appreciation post, will be posted at the Library.

If you make a similar post, make sure to send the link my way or tag me and/or the Library so I can reblog it!

Same if you make rec lists with your fave author’s fics.

November 17th: Shyan Positivity Day. On this day, we are gonna fill our tags (shyan, skeptic believer, shyan fic, shyan art and even buzzfeed unclean) with shyan things. Can be headcanons, metafiction, edits, art, fics, drabbles, memes, funny text posts, appreciation posts, anything related to shyan in a positive way (although, angst is also accepted).

Send to me or your favorite shipper your headcanons, au ideas, little observations or fic recs.

Or make your own posts about these things and have fun with the interactions!

Post your edits, videos, art, fics, whatever as long as it’s shyan and you love it.

REMEMBER TO NOT USE THE GENERAL TAGS! For real, I don’t want to fight anyone on this day.

And a second reminder that if you are going to send me n/s/f/w stuff, send it at @bigdickmadej! I promise to have anon on for that day.

November 18th: It’s my birthday! I may not be much around that day, so for the final day of this little positive thing, I’m going to leave it to you guys to go on and please be the most loving you can be.

Go have a nice day, do whatever you want.

Maybe comment on that fic you’ve been reading or that one you liked the other day.

Check out your favorite fic again, comment it even if you have done it before, remind that author that you love their work and why you do it.

Send nice anons! Or nice messages off anon!

Buy a coffee for your favorite artist, author, etc. Maybe donate to your charity of preference. 

If maybe you want to do something for me, keep reading the next part for my little wish list for this year!

~ WISH LIST

It would mean the world to me if you guys really would like to participate in this little project. Even if just for one day, doesn’t matter which one, It really would mean so much to me.

I love getting messages on my birthday! And that’s really a great gift to me, so off or on anon, you can totally send me your birthday wishes and make me the happiest person alive.

Not gonna lie, I would cry if I get comments on my fics, kudos and whatnot.

And of course, I’m a big slut for blessed gifts such as fanfics, edits, headcanons, art. Especially if made based on my fanfics when it comes to edits and art.

Because of the laptop situation, I’m considering setting up a ko-fi and then close it or retire it from my blog once I get shit sorted and fix my laptop or even get the chance to buy a new one. It’s not much what I need to get to the amount I need, this is why I’m considering getting it. I really don’t like asking for money, but sadly my economy is on the ground at the moment and I really need that laptop thingy. Still, I’m honestly just considering it.

~ REMINDERS

You don’t have to participate.

If you do, please don’t use the general tags when posting and/or talking about shippy stuff.

Use the hashtag #shyanpositiveparty for all your posts regarding the project! Why this tag? Because while it was inspired by my birthday, I would love for everyone to feel included. Put this tag on the first five tags of your post so the post will appear on it and we can all see it.

If posting stuff made especifically for my birthday, then please use the tag #nini’s bday 2k19 :)

Again, you DON’T have to participate.

I’m very aware that some people have no chill and may want to spoil the party by either sending me hate or other people, even inviding the tags. I recommend to everyone to not let them win. I will be blocking and blocking only, I don’t want to fight anyone on this day and I will not post anything negative regarding it.

I’m also prepared for the scenario in which no one may actually be interested on this. I will still post on these days what I have planned. Even if no one wants to do this, I still would love for the people I’ll be sending positive vibes to get them. It’s my birthday after all. I want it to be a happy one.

I still don’t know when my birthday party in real life may be, so that day I may not have much time to be around, but I will still programm my posts on that day and answer stuff on mobile. If I don’t, I’ll do it the next day, no problem at all.

If you missed a day and wanted to participate on it anyway, it doesn’t matter. Do it, please. Have fun with us.

~ POLLS

Last thing. I would love for your guys to help me decide a few things regarding this:

What is your favorite fanfiction by me (poetdameron)?

Should I set up a ko-fi?

That’s all. I’m sorry I made you guys read so much, but I really hope you want to participate! You can reblog this post so others can see it, that would be amazing. Thank you!

Admin Rules

ADMINS *Updated Rules* Here’s a copy of team rules, I’d suggest maybe saving them somewhere. 💛

Introduction to Safe Haven Support Team: Thank you for your interest in becoming apart of our team. Here at Safe Haven, we do everything we can to keep this group a safe and clean environment for everyone. We inspire to make this group as loving & unique as possible. We are very interactive with our members! Everyone starts out as a Moderator & will build their way up to being an Admin (if they want to be.) Below, are some things to know & guidelines to follow. Please read all of this very carefully. ⦁ You will be entered into a group message on facebook with all other Admins/Moderators. In order to be apart of the team it is mandatory to stay in this group chat. This is where we discuss any issues/concerns about the group & its members. If the notifications become too much, you can “mute notifications.” However, if you leave the group chat, it will be an instant removal from the team. Communication is very important here. If you become a team member you will also start getting some notifications concerning the group. ⦁ There is a minimum requirement of at least 30 mins free time daily for Moderators/Admins (unless you have something going on.) If you want to take a little break or have something going on to where you can’t be active, that is fine, just please let us know in group chat, or message me personally & let me know. We take our group & caring for our members very seriously, so this IS a responsibility. We need dependable team members in order to keep the group functioning properly. ⦁ We ask that Moderators/Admins put -Mod or -Moderator or -Admin after all comments/posts made. This is so the group members will become more familiar with our team. As stated above, if you’re new to the team your role will be: Moderator. The team & everyone’s roles are listed in the pinned post on the top of the group page, if you somehow forget your role on the team.   ⦁ Post interactive posts frequently. For example; How is everyone today? How is everybody feeling? What’s on your mind today? What’s everyone’s favorite song? etc. ⦁ As an Admin/Moderator you are accepting that members are allowed to message you personally if they feel they need to talk or have any issues/concerns. ⦁ We bring & discuss most things to our team group chat. Screenshots are very useful in this group. Any removing of posts, comments, or people should be discussed in group chat first so everyone has a heads up. ⦁ Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the group rules. (GROUP RULES/HOTLINE NUMBERS/TEAM MEMBERS & ROLES ARE LISTED IN THE PINNED POST AT THE TOP OF THE GROUP PAGE.) ⦁ Member Requests; If someone is requesting to join our group we have 3 pending questions they need to answer before being approved. If they requested without answering all 3 questions correctly we message them saying something like “Hi I’m from Safe Haven Support Group, we’d love to get you approved but we need you to answer the 3 pending questions first & decline their request & have them resend it with the questions answered. If they “can’t see” the questions for some reason, they are allowed to answer the questions to you in a PM. If you feel their answers are acceptable, then you can approve their request. Our 3 pending questions are: Do you agree to read the pinned post and follow all rules? What makes you want to join our group? & Are you 18+? Also, we don’t accept anyone who’s profile was created 3 months ago or less. We also check out the profiles of anyone requesting to join to try to make sure it isn’t a fake profile/someone trying to troll. ⦁ If you approve someone’s request to join our group, we try to make a welcoming post for them. So, whoever you approve to join, make a welcoming post for them & tag them (if you can.) If you can’t tag them, just write their name out (so remember their name when you approve them) on the post, and let us know in group chat, & one of us will try to comment & tag them to ensure they see your post you made for them. ⦁ Try to promote the group from time to time. Tell your friends/family. “Share” it on your personal page or to other groups/pages. We want to reach/help as many people as we can! ⦁ One of the MOST important rules. We have to “approve” member’s posts before they go public to the group page. Before approving anyone’s post; 1st) Make sure there isn’t any rules being broken in their post. 2nd) If a rule is being broken we always bring it to group chat. Depending on the rule broke, we will decide as a team whether they should be warned or removed. 3rd) ALWAYS make sure to comment and interact with ANY & EVERY post you approve. Once you approve someone’s post, that post is now your responsibility. We don’t want anyone’s post to go unnoticed. ⦁ No changes to the settings, pinned post, cover photo, group name etc. are to be made by any Admin/Moderator. I will handle the settings/group changes. ⦁ In your daily free time on the page you can: post interactive posts, scroll the group page to make sure the rules are being followed, post positive quotes, do live videos, create polls, find interactive facebook games.. etc. Make sure to try to interact with as many posts as you can. ⦁ In case of a suicidal post; direct suicidal posts are NOT to ever be approved. If you see a suicidal post & have reason to believe somebody is really going to harm themselves, we are to report it to facebook. Decline the pending post, but make sure to message the person that posted it or make sure somebody from the team is messaging them.. we try to keep them talking, and direct them towards the pinned post with worldwide hotline numbers. ⦁ If you are inactive from the group for more than 3 days (without anyone knowing why) you will be removed from the team. I check admin activity frequently. We need everyone to do their part to keep stress off of other team members. ⦁ If you’re a moderator & interested in becoming an Admin eventually, there’s certain things we look for. For example: Moderators who are active more than the minimum requirement, moderators who have well thought out comments/advice, moderators who pick up on all the rules etc.. (Admins have just a bit more responsibility than moderators.)

• Keep in mind any type of removals, post declines, & any concerning posts are to ALWAYS be brought to our SafeHaven group chat message.

Extra ADMIN ONLY Rules: (Newly Updated) ⦁ Along with everything stated above, you are to help lead our moderators by helping them learn the rules & ways of everything, & nicely correcting any mistakes they make if you notice. If you see they forgot -Mod or -Moderator comment on their post nicely asking them to re edit it correctly. We now newly have a Training Group for members wanting to become Mods. Admins run this group. (See below) ⦁ Admins are to know all the rules very confidently to be able to answer most questions from moderators/group members. ⦁ Admins should normally be the “most active.” ⦁ Big decisions (removals, approvals etc.) can be finalized by any Admin. ⦁ There is an “Admins ONLY chat” which is only there to discuss Moderators progress/lack of progress or any concerns with any moderators.

TRIAL GROUP: Our Trial Group consists of helping new (wanting to be) Moderators learn the ways/rules of the group. All Admins will be in a 1V1 MOD TRAINING group chat message with who we are training. We will ask them questions & answer any questions they may have for us. We discuss their progress/concerns in "Admin ONLY" group chat & we make our final decisions on things in our "Admin ONLY" group chat. We need to correct all their mistakes so they can learn. I ask for each Admin to try to participate in this whenever you can. We can get through the trainings a lot faster with help. I MUST be available for each and every training. I will need at least one other Admin to assist me when I do these. More than 2 of us can participate as well. We do all training sessions 1 on 1 with these individuals in the "1V1 MOD TRAINING chat." So in the 1V1 MOD TRAINING chat, it should only be you, the other Admins, & one trainee at a time. Each Admin will also be entered into a group chat called "Trial Group Waitlist" here is where people who need their training to become a Mod are at.

Trial Group/ 1V1 MOD TRAINING: I will be handling most of the training. I will send the introductory videos & posts to them in the 1V1 Chat. All I need you Admins to do is monitor these trainings in the 1V1 Chat. You don’t have to do anything on the actual Trial Group Page unless later requested to. I will need you to help me correct them when they’re wrong/tell them what is right to do, & also come up with a couple scenario questions to ask them. We will discuss any concerns with these trainings in “Admin ONLY” group chat. Thank you!

*Please type “read & agreed” to these updated rules if you want to stay on or join our team. If you feel it’s too much please don’t join/stay on the team. No hard feelings. If you are on the team, I’d suggest maybe saving these rules somewhere. Thank you!*
