FAQ

Do you post your stories anywhere else on a different platform? 

Yes. Although I primarily post on Tumblr, I do have both an Ao3 and Wattpad.  Wattpad is very unkempt and not many of my stories are up there at the moment, but my Ao3 is more diverse.  Again, everything on those pages can be found on my masterlists. 

Wattpad: PrayForTay

Ao3: AEM888

Do you have a posting schedule of any sort?

Absolutely not.  Deadlines or ‘time goals’ for my stories feel much too pressuring and forced.  I take as much of my free time I have and scrung it up to write between work.  Not even I know when I will post most times. 

Will XXX have another part to it? 

I always set up the format of the stories I plan to continue or make into a series in a fashion that shows it’s in the works or I label it as ‘ongoing’. 

Ex: [TITLE] 01 | 02 | 03

The crossed-out number is the chapter I’m currently working on.  Unless I choose otherwise, it will eventually be finished and released on my own time.

Will this one-shot/drabble be continued? 

Majority of the time, no.  Although there are times I pick up a drabble idea and run with it.  It all depends on my inspiration for the piece and my time.  

Do you know when XXX will be updated? 

No. As stated previously, I have no planned schedule at all.  It will be updated when it’s updated. Period. 

“This link doesn’t work/is marked as sensitive/I can’t view it.” 

Please, always tell me when links are broken and I will do what I can to try to get them up and running again. Keep in mind it may not be my issue per se, as we all know Tumblr has more than a few kinks in its system that probably will never truly be worked out. 

“I can't find XXX story on your ML/Page anymore, why?”

Chances are that I simply detested it.  I usually allow the bad apples of my writing stay where they are regardless of what I may think.  However, I have and will continue to do so in the future- deleted stories that were just absolute garbage.  Even if you all are upset about it, ultimately I wasn’t happy with the fact it existed.  

“Can you recommend me a fic about so-and-so with ____ plot?” 

In the bio of my blog is a fic.recs link, click through that and it takes you to my fic.recs blog :D 

“Can you recommend a blog for XXX group?” 

I normally won’t recommend blogs bc they are all the same blogs I’ve recommended before.  I don’t have much time to branch out and search for new blogs, but feel free to send in any asks and I’ll post it so that other followers may be able to help you out! 

Do you have any social media you’re willing to share with your followers?

My twitter is linked in my blog’s description and that is the only social media i’m comfortable putting out anymore.

Is it alright to DM or talk with you personally?

Absolutely.  Whether you communicate through my inbox as anon or not, or chose to DM me directly, it is all the same to me.  You may reach out in any way you like.  Don’t be shy or think you’re bothering me.  Seeing someone new or a familiar face pop by is a pleasantry and I appreciate it very much. 

Are requests open? 

Please read my rules for any questions regarding requests

*Any questions related to the topics on this list will automatically be referred here.  Answering to many of the same questions- while sometimes flattering- becomes quite monotonous*

SURVEY RESULTS!

so! a week or so ago, i annoyed you all by constantly reblogging a link to a survey to help improve my blog? 53 of you guys responded which was really cool so thanks to those who take time out of their day to do so! below the cut, i’ve responses and next steps to the things you guys said as well as responses to things you’ve said so if you said something and you wanna see if i responded, click read more. or if you’re just curious:

My queue is currently set at 8 posts a day. This means a post every three hours. Is this too little, too less or okay?

that was question one and these were the results:

18.86% said “too little”

81.14% said “alright”

nobody said too little

next steps: the queue will stay as it is since its an overwhelming majority!

Do you think I reblog too many of the same people in terms of fc pictures/resources/etc to the point it becomes annoying?

that was question number two and these were the results:

90.6% said no

3.8% said yes

the rest said that things among the lines, “i follow you because you reblog those fcs”, “some more age and gender diversity” and “you’re fine”

next steps: no next steps really since no one said anything of concern. i’ll try and keep it up!

then i asked people if there was any they didn’t like and most of you guys said n/a accept for hailee steinfeld, olivia holt and dylan sprayberry. i tag every celebrity as “firstname lastname” so hailee is always tagged as “hailee steinfeld” pls feel free to blacklist but i will be slowing down on all three! hailee posts will most likely be limited to three posts a week maybe 4

then there was this dude:

first of all nobody has said anything before this survey so clearly i wasn’t annoying people that much so a) those people are blocked and b) you’re just a whiny bitch. anyways

I currently have a tag called "poc" where i put all non-white resources, psds etc. Would tags such as "poc psd" and "poc gif pack" be more suitable?

that was question number four i think? a lot of you pressed other so i can’t give decent percentages but thank you for your replies

next steps: i will be creating new tags for poc and tagging gif packs etc featuring people of colour as a separate thing. i will make a post when this is in effect. i will also create a whole poc section in my navi. thanks again to everybody!

What types of themes would you like me to reblog more of? Can select multiple options.

most of you guys picked all of them so it was pretty even tbh. some selected the other option and said pages and more accessible themes

next steps: i will do my very best to reblog more of each of those things. please don’t be mad if you don’t see immediate change because im busy these days and all!

What resources would you like me to reblog more of in general? Can select multiple options.

im gonna go for top two because they were in the lead:

77.4% said underused fcs

73.6& said gif packs

next steps: i will try and reblog both! i’ve found a few blogs that post exclusively underused fcs and i will regularly check tags such as “gif pack” to reblog from. 

the next question was about trigger warnings and i won’t post them now but i am gonna make a list and a post announcing the list when it’s ready. 

next was literally a free for all so im gonna answer things that i will are a concern:

well i sometimes try to request you something but it takes a lot before i gets answers and there is no rush but maybe make a todo list of requests you've accepted out of the messages you haven't replied to yet, so us requesters know if you got it/accepted it sofia says: i do have a tag. it’s stated on my faq too! im rlly busy these days so i don’t sometimes see something? you’re more than welcome to hit my ims up since im on mobile most of the time. sorry about the delays but please send a message confirming whether or not i got something. if i accept something, it’s replied to as well as denied stuff

more resources for graphic makers maybe?? a tag for all resources would be cool too. dont know if u have a mobile WID but that would also be nice imo. unsure tbh? but i tried!! sofia says: i’ll aim to reblog more textures but since im not a graphics maker myself idk what to reblog lmao. i do have a mobile wid! log onto my blog on mobile and you’ll see a link under my description. u did good bb thank u!

Christmas header!!! Girl, change it. But in terms of your actual theme, I adore it and it's gorgeous! sofia says: honey i kno!!!! i haven’t had the time to log into ps these days but it will be changed... before christmas :D

I think your blog is pretty swell as it is and it kind of makes me wanna become a rph??? so if you've got any tips please share tysm  sofia says: dsbjgjbs thank u! um as for tips: stay in ur lane, reblog a lot of things and make things aswell. don’t be afraid to send yourself anons requesting things to get yourself out there!

i love your blog, i think you are one of the best rph's still going. you seem to stay out of most drama and just focus on helping people which is amazing. the one suggestion i have would be to stop reblogging gif icons if they weren't made by scratch from the op? sofia says: yeah i don’t do that anymore unless they are made from gif packs but i’ll keept that in mind???? sometimes ppl don’t have a choice and have to use gif hunts bc they can’t gif themselves/they don’t have the time

i do wish you posted less disney/nick fcs and maybe considered posting more mature actors but i wouldn't complain about which fcs you liked on your blog!! you're doing great and i love you and would love to be in a group with you if you ever want to post rp recs :) sofia speaks: yeah i will agree on that! my next season long project is most likely going to focus on an actor 30+ so look out! and i only make them because im tired of y’all using 30+ fcs as early 20s so i offer more variety????? but like i said i get what you mean! as for groups im in sidekickhq so hmu ! im also down for 1x1s

Less "REMINDER THAT..." "JUST SO YOU KNOW" "CALL OUT POST" "OMG THEY ARE SO PROBLEMATIC" posts? I know the tea is good™ but I don't want to open a rph blog and only find drama, you know? Also, what is the point of doing an honest survey if you are going to complain when someone says something about your blog that you don't like? The "too many resources of one fc that annoys you" question was there with Hailee in mind and she was the first one to come to everyone's mind, regardless of your URL. Everytime there is a "Sofia Speaks"post it's more of Sofia Complains and it didn't use to be like that? I miss your positive vibes and posts. sofia says: alright honey take a fucking seat because i have shit to say to your and your whiny ass. first of y’all you’re the one who sounds hella drama filled tbh. and i don’t really reblog those and when i do it’s got proof and it’s me saying don’t play rapists guys! sorry if you’re so offended by that and call it drama???? and like 2 people said hailee out of 53???? so uhhhhh where are you getting everyone from buddy? where’s your proof????????? and im allowed to use my tag for when i want????? it’s tagged so people can blacklist it? why do your think i tag it lmao??????????? and im not even here these days tbh? anyways i really want your to unfollow me if you haven’t and there is a line between constructive criticism and just bitching. you’re just bitching. and not in a good kinda stranger things way.

talk to us more 😤 sofia says: literally hit me up in my ims! and im sorry i seem distant im just so busy rip! but please come to me i will love you down!

and we’re done! thanks guys for your responses! see you around!

Smuttyfairy Survey Response

Hello there! Jaefairy here! Thank you everyone who took the survey. There were about 140 of your guys and wow, the results were pretty interesting! :D We learn a lot about you guys! We also heard your suggestions and concerns! I hand picked a few to address and we took the time to answer some of them!

😱Concerns and Solutions😱

❓ “There are many good writers who write OH HOW TF DO THEY EVEN DO THAT kind of writers out there whose stories are being left unheard except for some people bcs they're not really doing promotions/reblogging whatever. Its the same kind of feels of HEYYY this new boygroup needs to have more attention ya know what i mean??” Response: If you guys want your favorite writers on the blog just suggest them to us! Well check them out and probably add them to the masterlists! (Admin Kook) ❓”I'm just slightly confused about Wangfairy's situation. Because it says she is inactive, but she still answers asks and stuff, so I'm confuzzled.” Response: Wangfairy (Now Hopefairy) is inactive as a writer, hence why her stories are placed under inactive in the masterlist! Hopefairy is active on the blog still as a masterlist updater alongside Smuttyfairy. (Admin Jaefairy) ❓“Sometimes there are a little bit to much interactions with followers Witch is both fu per fun to read but some times a little anoying” “When y'all answer a bunch of questions one after another individually it kind of blows up my notifications” Response: Then you should probably turn off the notifications for us lol (Admin Gil) Response #2: The best thing I can tell you to do about this is to blacklist our tags: “fic answer”, “fic question”, and “anonymous” to avoid all of that (Admin Sf) ❓ “Sometimes I try to click on links and they break either because authors choose new usernames or move blogs or what not.” “Some of the links in the compiled master list don't work😭” Response: Just let us know via message or ask and we will rectify the broken link as soon as possible! (Admin Jaefairy) ❓“Can be hard to navigate in cases of finding the answer to lost fics” Response: We’ve implemented new tags recently to help you look for your fics easier! If you check the #fic answers tag you will find the answers to the fics found so far! :) (Admin Jaefairy)

Reponse #2: Newer tags will have the type of AU and what keywords were asked about for a particular fic. To look at these tags specifically you can search manually by smuttyfairy.tumblr.com/tagged/vampire!au and/or smuttyfairy.tumblr.com/tagged/vampire!bts and etc (Admin Sf)

  ❓“Drama among haters and admins” Response: There will be drama wherever you go, we can’t exactly turn off the drama or tell people not to send in hate. We listen and if it’s a legit reason to be upset we try our best to rectify. Most drama on the blog lasts an hour or two anyways so. O: (Admin Jaefairy) ❓“The dirty talk anons aren't great but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” Response: This isn’t much of an issue anymore since we usually don’t get dirty asks unless It’s a designated Hoe Night! During those times we let you guys know when it is so if that isn’t your thing, you can turn off your notifications or keep away from the blog for a bit. (Admin Jaefairy) ❓“All the admins are so young but I still read.” Response: Actually, the only Admin that is underage still is Xiu at 17. We rest are of age o.o. (Admin Jaefairy) ❓“I keep missing hoe nights...so hhh” Response: In the near future I’m gonna try and plan Hoe Nights a day ahead so that way everyone has a heads up! please be patient with me and gil! Also if you do miss hoe night and wanna catch up, smutty made the suggestion to tag all hoe night posts #Hoe Night. So you can always check out that tag for past fun. (Admin Jaefairy) ❓“Could maybe Write more fluff but again it is Smutty fairy lol” Response: Hopefairy was actually in charge of most of the fluff lol and all the admins prefer angst but I'll work on more fluff scenarios for you guys :D (Admin Gil)

🤔 Improvement and Solutions 🤔

❗️ ”Keep fic recs up-to-date”

”Maybe you could update more often the compiled scenarios”  ”Updated masterlists” ”Update the masterlist whenever you all get the chance, and I think that's all because you all are doing a great job with the blog.” ”Like the question above. Improvements, in my opinion, maybe maintaining links and checking ever so often if they are still active or not. I know this happens in the EXO section a lot”

Response: Most of these can be explained in our FAQs page but I’ll reiterate again here. Updating fic recs are A LOT of work. With just me and Admin Hopefairy it’s really difficult to work on updating links and compiling them as we do have our own lives outside of the blog to worry about as well. Compiling links from 1-2 blogs usually takes about 15-30m depending how much work there is and organizing and formatting the fics takes even longer usually 30m-an hour. We really try our best to work hard on this so we’re sorry it takes us so long to do them, but eventually it gets done. (Admin SF)

❗️ ”XIUFAIRY CAN STOP KILLING US WITH SAD ENDINGS” Response: I wouldn't say my endings are...sad...okay that's a lie but there's a reason they're sad :p I'm a realistic writer and not a lot of writers take a realistic edge (in many fanfics). I personally don't like fics that are happy from day one to the end because that's just...not how life is I guess. I tend to make real things happen at the worst times because that's really where they happen!! Most of my stories have moral lessons and/or lessons on what life can do to a person both singularly and in a relationship. (Admin Xiufairy) ❗️ “Make a schedule? Each day of the week for special themes. E.g. hoe night at Friday night, fics ask on Tuesdays, fics updates everyday lol” Response: This is a good idea! The problem with that is we all have different schedules. I may be available one friday, but the next friday I couldn’t be. We do ask that you guys bear with us and be patient with things like fic asks, updates or hoe nights. We have a lot going on, and we try our best to squeeze you guys in. o: (Admin Jaefairy) ❗️ ”more specific tags maybe? for answered question regarding sexuality, etc. ” Response:  We have About the admin pages that answer questions of that nature. Check our navigation page for more! (Admin Jaefairy)

❗️ ”You guys should start doing reactions and stuff!!” Response: I actually started doing reactions recently c: I’m working on finishing a group of them before I post them so you guys have a few to look at but I am working on them at this moment. Requests for reactions closed a week or so ago, but I will open it up again in the fall. (Admin Jaefairy) ❗️ ”To make things more better.. (though its not needed) I want you to open up the reactions or MTLs frequent. so that the followers and viewers keep getting updates about the blog and also new stuffs! But am a hoe tbh.” Response: (See answer above about reactions) We leave MTLs for hoe nights to not blow up the feed for all followers except on designated days. (Admin Jaefairy) ❗️  ”Maybe answers ones that pertain to the same subject on the same ask more often; like putting fic praise all together ” Response: We do this sometimes but we will work on being more adamant with it now. Thank you for the suggestion! (Admin Jae) ❗️ ”Let your followers vote on who they want in future fanfics etc” Response: I have been thinking about this since I have a few story Ideas I’d like to write but i’m not sure what would be wanted more. We will keep this in consideration and you will see something in the near future! (Admin Jaefairy) ❗️ ”Maaaybe more angsts?” ”More Fluffy Stories or Angst”  ”please post more angsty series please please please” Response: I do have an idea in mind if you guys wanted me to try *thinks* (Admin Kook) Response #2: I personally have started reformatting personal angst to share with you guys, but I will be working on less smut and more angst and fluff as the year goes on. (Admin Jaefairy) ❗️ ”More fanfiction and maybe some personal posts from admins” Response:  We do post some personal stuff when it happens from time to time, check out some under our personal tags (”About admin smuttyfairy”, etc.) I know all the writers on the blog are cooking up some news things, so look forward to them! (Admin Jaefairy)   ❗️ “you guys are great and give good advice, i'd say just delete the negative asks like that are repetitive, i don't mean it in a bad way, just like if they all shit on x admin for example, address it once then delete the rest. however since smutty said she'd just block the ip i think that also helped solve the problem” ”Don't let the assholes get to you. Delete without reply. ” Response: Say no more fam (Admin Gil) Response #2: I’m in the same boat as Gil. Whenever I see hate towards another anon in the inbox I instantly delete it, but sometimes as humans, it’s hard. We all get hurt and we want to lash out. I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying that we should delete all hate. Some hate does need to be addressed, as it’s a concern, but just worded ignorantly. I will say that we delete most hate, but if we feel compelled to answer it, we will. (Admin Jaefairy) ❗️ ”Add more information on streams/activities, individual admins so we can get to know everyone better and new people to the blog can learn about everyone” Response: We already do have an 'About the admins’ page where we share some of our favorite things but if you guys want to know more about us, just ask! As long as it wasn't answered in our FAQ’s we'd be happy to answer it. (Admin Gil) ❗️  ”well, i don't exactly like the music player since i always have my own music already playing, but it's really your choice so you don't have to listen to that lmao. and there are a looot of asks on your blog, but again - that's just people being interested in your blog so ^^” Response: Perhaps we’ll have a survey on the playlist to see who’d like to keep it on autoplay or off. (Admin Sf)

❗️  ”Maybe do more groups instead of bts” Response: Well for the most part all of the admins don't write for only bts. Xiu has exo, got7, and blackpink scenarios. Jae/Gil have written a Jay park scenario and Jae’s even working on a svt fic. All the admins are multifandom but sometimes we get ideas and it's like “hey I can see this fic working with a bts member instead of another group member” you get me? We're working on providing more multifandom content as we speak so please be patient with us. (Admin Gil)

😉What to expect from us in the future 😉

You told us what you would like to see and we addressed the top three requested! Q&As: We’re working on doing a Q&A night for 15k, stay tuned!! Live Streams: Smuttyfairy has recently started concert live streams and Admin Kookfairy and Jaefairy do streams every so often. Keep your eyes open for an announcement as we usually give you guys heads up before we start one! Ships: Ships will be added to hoe nights! When Admin Jae announces Hoe Night, he will let everyone know if he and gil are doing ships that night! :)

And that’s all folks! Thank you for the input and I hope we can be the best we can for you 💜 - Admin Jaefairy
