[lonestarbabe]

do you have any lone star or 911 blog suggestions? i just ditched me 911 side blog and started tumblr life fresh with a whole new main blog, so i'm looking for new people to follow, also do you have any suggestions for just getting involved in the fandom altogether?

Hello! I do have some suggestions, but I will warn you, my list is pretty limited because it’s very hard to find good 911 Lone Star blogs because many are multifandom and harder to discover. Anyway, all the more reason to share what I have.

It’s exciting that you’ve broken from your side blog. I will be stuck here as a side blog forever, which can be limiting, so I’m glad you’ve made the switch. 

I tried to focus on blogs that have recent and consistent 911 Lone Star content, at least during the season, and many of them happen to multifandom so keep that in mind. Many of them also love 911 OG! I’m sure I missed important people I follow because it’s hard to weed through my follow list, so I’m sorry if I do. I’ve also provided some reasons why I love these people, mostly to give these wonderful humans some much-deserved love. (in no particular order just thrown out however my jumble mind sees fit)

First of all, @mybaby-tk, I love your blog and am always glad to see your posts, so you’d definitely make my list of blog suggestions. Lots of good takes. Lots of 911 Lone Star content. I cannot wait for more of your stuff.

@buckleystrand is a must. Some of the prettiest gifs, cute fics that make my heart leap, and just an overall really cool person. I think we’re blessed to have someone so talented in this fandom. 

@evaneddie is the #1 Marjeo fan (and I’m glad about that). They are a great contributor of gifs and also 911 OG content. I’m so glad to see them on my dash and to have someone providing good writing as well as gifs.

@bluestar22x a real fandom hero who always engages with posts. I love seeing this blog and their comments pop up because you always have interesting things to see. Such a great person and has a great tagging system for those who like that kind of thing (would be amazing if Tumblr liked to make tags fully functional haha).

@eveningspirit is also excellent. A wonderful writer (one of my faves) and I think we tend to like the same kind of stories, so TASTE! Seems really sweet and she just has 10/10 vibes. Is great at enunciating thoughts. A real fandom gem.

@bucktks Loves Ronen very much. Makes pretty gifs that I could spend hours looking at. Seems like a very cool human. Aesthetically pleasing blog.

@tylerkennedystrand is one of the first people I found who posted Lone Star content. Lots of multifandom content but still and excellent person in the Lone Star fandom.

@itsnotamarriageproposal TARLOOOSSSSSS I mean that’s pretty much all I have to say and you can feel my passion for this blog.

@lovelessmotel not fully Lone Star, but enjoyable all-around content that seems to fit well with things I like. Very pretty theme. Seems like a cool person.

@reyesstrand this is a Lone Star side blog so you can expect pretty much all lone star content. Wonderful posts. A writer. Just a great blog overall that I enjoy looking at.  

@homeinda-blue has a lot of great thoughts. Multifandom. Mostly text posts sharing these thoughts. Has some good insight that never occurred to me before. A really wonderful person!

@daybreak96  Multi-fandom. Shares lots of cool Rafa content. I just really like this blog. I found this blog looking through the tag, and I’m so glad that I did because I really enjoy it.

@adrianintown Lots of great ideas that I love seeing. A blog that has a good mix of different kinds of posts. Seems like a super smart and fun person. Also likes Animal Kingdom. Writes good stuff.

@soclosebutyetsofar is a blog that mostly focuses on Tarlos but also is in other fandoms such as the 100 and Roswell NM. Great content. I haven’t been following long, but I’m really glad I did.

@911lonestarweek For all the fun of 911 Lone Star Week to keep us entertained during the hiatus. 

@mattcasey AMAZING GIFS. Reblogs  A LOT of Lone Star content. A real friend to content creators and I’m glad to see it. Excellent taste in content. You’ll see 911 mixed in as well as some other fandoms.

@harvestleaves LOTS of 911 Lone Star content. Super supportive of content creators and REBLOGS. Lots of cute writing that I love seeing. I’m so glad that I found this blog.

@bellakitse is one of my favorite writers in this family. Creates excellent content. is multifandom, but I really love this blog a lot and I’m appreciative of all the amazing writing we are given.  

@ronenrubinstein a variety of content, but lots of Lone Star love, and Ronen love, and Ronen as a Harry Styles stan love. Really, I saw Harry and 911 Lone Star in one blog and thought it had to be good. I was right.

@spookycass A nice bright theme that is very sunny. Really great content. Seems like a nice person and I’m glad I follow this blog.

@tkandbuck A variety of content, but the 911 Lone Star stuff is really excellent, and I mean, TK and Buck… how could I not love this wonderful blog?

@tarloses A must follow for all the Tarlos lovers out there. A good balance of content that I enjoy very much.

@marjanmarwanis is allergic to poor leadership ;). I enjoy all the icons that she makes of the characters and cast. Also posts 911 OG icons. 

@a-gay-fish More 911 OG but also just a great blog that has excellent vibes and amuses me. I’m glad to have finally found this blog (better late than never). 

@onceuponatarlos A blog dedicated to Tarlos prompts, so does amazing work. 

@thompsonconnors Multifandom but a lot that I like, so it works for me. Makes nice gifs that I appreciate very much (excellent Grace gifs woooo)

@tylerkennedysstrand  lots of interests, but a fun blog to follow. Not to be confused with @tylerkennedystrand which I did for a while, but I have seen the light now and have realized that this excellent blog is a blog all of its own and worth checking out.

@pikku-myy Probably more of a 911 blog, but also posts Lone Star content and I enjoy the energy of this blog. 

@meneatyoghurt I read this url as me neat yoghurt for far longer than is acceptable, but I understand now and am enlightened. I also just love this blog. Lots of interesting thoughts. I love seeing this person pop up.

@embersinashes Another OG fan who I’ve seen write some really good thoughts on the show, and I love seeing on my dash. 10/10 content. 

@paul-strickland Might’ve been the first 9-1-1 Lone Star blog I followed, so clearly top-notch content and lots of it. Very cool edits. Also likes 911 OG and writes. She is a great addition to the fandom.

@tarlosgifs It is what it says on the tin, which is why all Tarlos lovers should give this blog a look.

@xtarlosx 911 and lone star (and some other fandoms). Lots of Tarlos love. Just accidentally pressed unfollow as I was writing this, but I followed again so we’re good lol. In general, just a great addition to my dash and posts just the right amount. 

@hearteyesemergency 911 but also lone star. This blog has a really good flow. Nice to look at with excellent content. 

@probiechavez  Also OG 911 fan. But is a 911 Lone Star side blog. Great content. Love seeing it on my dash. Probie Chavez, as in Mateo, and this blog deserve so much love.

@guesswhofern before starting this I said to myself DO NOT forget @guesswhofern because in my follow list this one is tucked between a bunch of other non Lone Star follows. Anyways, all the Lone Star content on this blog makes me happy, and this blog supports creators a lot, which is amazing.

@mtngirlforever a multi-fandom blog, but one you have to follow because of all the Lone Star talk that goes on there and a bunch of excellent content. One of my faves. Also, some Tarlos RP is that’s your thing. If it’s not, it’s tagged so fear not. Can’t say enough about this blog.

@actuallytkstrand multifandom.  Mostly 911 and Lone Star. A good balance of text and non-text posts. Just the right amount of content. Some good lone star memes (we don’t see enough) and good takes.

@thegayfleet a blog dedicated to gay things. Provides pics from lots of Ronen’s photoshoots. Also has a lot of other gay content and gifs from Lone Star and other shows with gay characters.

[lonestarbabe]

this isn't an unpopular opinion it's just Thoughts on the Michelle unpopular opinion from that anon. i wasn't super invested in her story line for the first season, but i still like her. i am how ever SUPER curious about her, Iris and Carlos's past and how they know each other. i head canon that they're like Carlos's big sisters? and maybe his parents weren't the greatest so he just hung out with them instead?? idk, i NEED back story for the 3 of them. im mega curious. lol

Yeah, I can agree with that Michelle take. I think she was kind of boring as a character, but I also think she has potential because she has likable qualities and there are so moments that I’m like “hmmmm I like her” but it’s not enough to make her really stand out, so I hope they do more for her character next season.

Carlos and Michelle seem very close so I’m wondering how they got to know each other. I think the proximity of  their lines of work probably helped bring them together. I’m the process, they probably bonded over crazy calls and the stress of their jobs. They likely were friends before Iris went missing, but idk how far back. I think Michelle was a little resentful of Iris back then so she might have kept her away from Carlos a bit so Carlos and Iris weren’t real close but knew each other. Regardless, some backstory for all of them would be great.

@mybaby-tk​  wHAT OMG OF COURSE I’M OK WITH THAT BE SURE TO TAG ME IN THE FIC YO

Is anyone taking bets for the 911 season 4 opening disaster yet because I'd like to put one dollar on terrorist attack

[lonestarbabe]

i personally love that the writers decided to use TK over Ty. i think it's more unique and special? like when you have a character named tyler it almost always gets shortened to Ty, and i think it's cool they went a different route. that being said i still love the name Ty and use it for a lot of different character names in my not fan fic writing. all that being said, i present a new concept: Carlos shortening 'TK' to just 'T'

I agree that I like that T.K. is used as his actual name (well the name he commonly goes by) because it does feel more unique to him and distinctive. He definitely feels like a T.K., so I really love that he is T.K. But at the same time, Ty feels different in this case to me because it feels a bit personal while also being casual, which I like. T is cute, even though one letter nicknames aren’t my go-to!

[lonestarbabe]

i need Carlos being in an active shooter situation and TK only being able to sit and be Concerned while waiting for news to trickle in.

I have mixed feelings about this one because, yes, it would bring concerned T.K. to life especially with his past gun-related trauma, but also, I have a lot of nightmares about shooters lol, so I feel like it would be anxiety-inducing for me (perhaps in an exhilarating way though). Like if it was an intense, drawn-out  scene... ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I’m ready for whatever though.

[lonestarbabe]

all this talk about Tarlos + TK's addiction and how things would go for them has jump started my long dormant super angsty evil writer brain, and i thank you very much for instigating it. i haven't had an idea materialize this quickly in a loooong time.

Wow, I am so happy to hear that. It is excellent news and I can’t wait to see what your angsty mind produces because I’m sure it will be brilliant. I’m so ready for it, let me tell you that. GO EVIL WRITER BRAINS EVERYWHERE.

[lonestarbabe]

i really don't like the on off trope either, and i really hope that they don't do that with this show. BUT lone star honestly has a very different energy than your run of the mill tv show, so maybe they won't go there.

Yeah, I’m hoping the writers will be more creative. Look to some fanfic maybe for inspiration lol. Find ways to show relationship struggles without having to make it have toxic vibes. Honestly, even if they do decide to use that horrific trope, I’m too far in to let it ruin the show (which has so much to offer beyond Tarlos), but I’d be delighted if we got a more fresh relationship development!

[lonestarbabe]

do we know what Carlos's partner's name is? we've seen one or two times that he rides with someone? (i think we see it in the episode where the abulance crashes and the episode where TK gets shot, also maybe the one with the mercury poisoning)

We’ve seen the partner, but I don’t think we’ve gotten a name, but I’m not positive about this. Does anyone else know her name?

[lonestarbabe]

do you have any suggestions for getting fic like Out There? i've written a few but they've gone pretty much untouched.

Hmmm I’m not sure. I think it can be pretty fickle to share fic in general. Like some of the fics I’m most proud of, didn’t really reach people as much while ones I was like “this is trash” worked well, so I guess it depends on people’s preferences pf theme and topics when it comes to fics, which you can’t do much about sadly. I’ll give you some anecdotal thoughts I have on the matter (mostly based on past fandom experience)

It can be very discouraging when people don’t engage, but I think just posting a lot helps people pay attention to your fics.

It also probably matters what time of day you post (though, I cannot tell you which is best.). If posting on Tumblr, I always like to put it under the cut. On AO3, I think it helps to use a lot of relevant tags that fit with the theme so the right people can find it. I’d post both on Tumblr and AO3 as well to cover more bases and find more people. 

And if you have an area of writing that isn’t as popular, stick with it. Niches can pay off in the long run, especially when a lot of fics will probably have similar ones (which is great but it’s fun to see refreshing stuff for me at least). The Lone Star collection of works is still pretty small, so people who check out 911 Lone Star fics daily, will probably see it, and the more you post, the more name recognition you’ll have, which I know helped me with other fandoms I was in. Like it’s as if when you keep adding fics people are like “fine, I guess I have to try this person out now” I know I’ve done it before where I keep seeing the name on AO3 and eventually break down and read a fic of theirs, and then I probably realize they are great and read more and subscribe to that author.

Unfortunately, a lot of it is really luck, but if you can find a few people really dedicated to your work, that can help you build those who engage with and share your content. 

This is all pretty obvious probably haha, so I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Anyone else have suggestions? I kind of don’t know what I’m doing lol when it comes to getting work out there.
