hi lia! i'm thinking about that ask you sent me abt me being a sfw blog, and i read some of your old posts to try to get to know you better and i saw some things about you wanting to write sfw more + you not being sure if people want it from you :( i hope you don't mind that i share my thoughts as a sfw writer?

first of all there's no shame in being a nsfw blog at all! personally it's not my cup of tea but from the things i saw while scrolling through your blog, a lot of people clearly admire your writing which is really cool! writing good smut is also a skill!

second: i hate to admit it but yeah it's true that sfw seems to have a smaller audience here, it did take me a long time to grow my sfw blog. that said, i personally believe in "if you build it, they will come" - there are people out there who read and enjoy sfw and will gravitate towards sfw work, you just have to put it out there for them to discover! and it's definitely a quality over quantity thing. even if there are fewer readers, some of them will enjoy your writing enough to interact and gush about it. i've definitely been surprised by people in my inbox or replies who talk about loving my writing style esp if they were lurkers 🥺

so yeah! no pressure to write sfw if you don't feel like it ofc, but i hope you find the people who will love what you write <3 --bhj 🖤

hiii bhj!! 💗💗 thank you for stopping by and scrolling thru my blog even though ur not big on the content i write, i really appreciate it!! pls don’t ever be hesitant to interact or share your thoughts as a sfw only blog, i love hearing different opinions from different perspectives <3

one of the main reasons i’m mostly a nsfw blog is because i just find nsfw content easier to write, it comes more naturally to me i suppose? i also maintain better motivation to finish nsfw works over sfw ones

yeah, one of my insecurities about my blog is over how much nsfw content i write— i love sfw content and i’d love to write more of it, but between not being the best sfw writer and how most of my followers are here for my smut exclusively… a lot of my mutuals have told me smut writing is a skill, but i just wish i was a better writer overall. im starting to focus on writing whatever i want though, so im focusing on putting out more sfw works in the future (actually working on a beomgyu fluff rn!)

one thing i have noticed about sfw blogs is that they retain followers more than nsfw blogs. they get more asks that aren’t just requests and more interactions about their work and their lives as a whole. a lot of nsfw readers seem to hold some kind of secrecy or shame about it, so they either won’t interact off of anon or won’t interact at all. it’s disheartening, i feel like my followers are embarrassed to be following me. plus we get so much more hate than sfw blogs.. i’ve been told to kms or deactivate MULTIPLE times

i would be lying if i said i write for myself though. i write for the people who show me endless love and support and who keep me on this hellsite regardless of all of the shit it’s put me through lol. but i’m trying to focus on myself more, work more on what makes me happy.

thank you for stopping by 💗
