HOW DO YOU RUN YOUR BLOG?

Speed: terribly slow at this moment because i just can’t get it in my head to write properly and it’s frustrating, but i write a bunch anyway on saturdays so long i have no other plans to hinder it. also usually keep everything in draft and then post them over time so i don’t get overwhelmed quickly but tbh it doesn’t always work. so uh, fastest is 3 days, slowest is 3 weeks.

Replies: usually match length and effort as best as i can, otherwise i’m usually more fond of things that give 2-3 paragraphs. writing matters a LOT to me, despite being a straightforward person, so i usually have ‘more muse’ for the medium-length threads. unless you’re Bree. or just threads like ours that are so full of life in all different aspects. that’s all i really want.

Starters: i’m terrible at them, hence i don’t do a lot of starter calls. especially since i’ve been around for so long and essentially ran out of things to start with, so i prefer if people could make starters for me or at least approach me on what they might like to do, in which case i can make the starter because i have at least something to go along with. and i very rarely approach people, unfortunately, mostly out of shyness, so..........

Inbox: i used to answer them straightaway because i like to keep my inbox clean, but i stopped bothering soon after because i realized it was keeping me from doing the proper drafts. so i’ll only answer when i have spare time during work, or outside work. learned to keep my priorities straight. nevertheless, it is always open to all including anons.

Selectivity: i gotta keep emphasizing on the fact that i’m not a mutuals only blog, because i simply cannot follow all 550 followers, and a fast-moving dash makes me very nervous. other than following being selective, i’m usually okay to write with anyone, as long as rules are abode and they don’t mind if i take forever. but if anything, i do get a bit selective on thread replying, because i need it to drive my motivation. it’s difficult to want to write if the thread feels boring or there isn’t much to go on with or it just simply isn’t making me want to give effort in the writing.

Wishlist item: my marvel au verse is tingling for threads even if there isn’t enough everett ross to go off with....... there’s also a bunch of unfinished threads that were either dropped or the partner disappeared which i don’t mind doing again, even though right now i can only think of those that are with mycrofts. also, things that are john-centric because he needs care too...... sometimes i feel like he always has to be the support figure to others who deem themselves to be of more importance, and really, after all that with sherlock and mary, it’s already clear that he doesn’t want to be a background guy who’s only useful when others need help. he wants to be MINDED. to be a PERSON. so forgive him if he has these angry episodes sometimes, it’s just...he’s been through so much and everyone seems to forget that and take him for granted and he needs to know that he is loved and that’s all i really want for him.

Honest note: i should have put the more passionate part from the previous point to here instead lol. but other than that, i’m terribly sorry if i’m the most horrible at IMs. 80% of my time on tumblr is actually at work, so i can’t usually talk with more than 2 people at the same time lest i forget to reply. not to mention my mood at work is usually bleh. and i prefer to focus on writing than to chat, so...i’m just not a chatty person to begin with. but if you want to rp, really, i’m all for it, drop me a starter or ask or IM and i’ll do my best to reply, if not, feel free to bug me, seriously. despite being old and cranky, i rarely get genuinely mad. i’m just tired and lazy most of the time. oh, also about shipping with my muse, as much a casanova as he is, my preference is a lot more on the platonic or fluffy side, and that it takes chemistry first. but please remember as per rules that he’s not gonna marry anyone except mary (save in verses that are completely outside sherlock), so if his flirty bit does get him a girlfriend/boyfriend, the relationship will NOT last. in fact, my headcanon for him is that 80% of his relationships fall out within 2 weeks, so you really have to be very lucky in chemistry to last longer. yeah, i refer to Kat at this point, still blown away by their relationship.
