How would you get into ask-blog culture (for lack of a better term)? Is it like roleplay?

I would say it's very different from roleplay! I've done an awful lot of RP in different formats over the years and run multiple askblogs for quite awhile. Askblogs are more like an interactive comic or story format more than an RP, regardless of what format of askblog it is (text, illustrated, cosplay, voice acting, etc).

Most askblogs are pretty independent from other askblogs (though may rarely feature little crossover moments), versus RP blogs which are pretty entirely dependent on other RP blogs and forming networks within them. Askblog crossover stuff is usually more of a cutesy lil saying hi or collaborating with other askblog muns (aka the people who run askblogs) and making friends. It's not necessary at all for askblogs to do, but it can be fun! Off the top of my head Ask-spiderpool is a good example of an askblog that does multi-askblog crossover stuff on rare occasion. I know it's also very common in Pokemon, MLP, Minecraft, and I believe Onceler OC askblog communities, but I am less familiar with those to be able to give a specific example.

Aside from that though I would say the only real "getting into" askblog culture so-to-speak is just making an askblog! In my experience askblog muns are usually very happy to chat with other muns. There's no like groups or anything you have to join though! You can just dive right in and start your own thing! And if you need some tips on starting an askblog, I covered that in the previous ask.
