introducing a new system where i take an evening where i'm not gonna do useful shit anyway and pick like... 5-10 asks that Do Not Need an essay response and answer them without an essay response. because the inbox has gotten truly worrying and the time i take to respond feels kinda rude at this point. so. sorry u get a bunch of posts in a row... i'm just posting these in relative quick succession

#i do like getting asks tbc!! i actively solicit them they're a top tier form of engagement. i read them all #and several of them i feel proper bad about not posting because they're interesting in their own right and ive turned them in my head a lot #(valentino social media anon this is you in particular)#but it's also like. a lot. a slightly paralysing amount #i have a whack ask-to-other-forms-of-engagement ratio lol like some posts i genuinely get more follow-up asks for than likes #people in this fandom REALLY like sending asks. in old fandoms where i was like. a decently popular fic writer i got SO many fewer #u go from a thousand notes and zero asks to one note and four asks. v different experience #which again i do like but it's just. i'm bad at overthinking stuff and trying to make responses interesting so. here we are #i realise 'first race day in several months' odd day to pick for this but im trying to keep it to a fallow hour... whens qualifying #okay not ideal but it's not THAT many posts. won't be during the sprint anyway #can't be bothered scheduling these several days in advance #//#also as a rule if you sent a proper nice ask and i haven't responded and it's been a while take it as read that it's eating me alive
