#not really following my own advice bc this is a sideblog but i don't post identifying information anywhere and i don't yell at staff

[harrypotterfuryroad]

Wouldn't it be a privacy violation if some of the blogs weren't attached to the person's real identity though? I have a politics blog which is anonymous and then my main which is not, and don't like the CEO casually revealing private info on Twitter.

the blogs are attached to his account, and the content of the account is most likely property of the company. they could decide to make all of that public for everyone tomorrow and probably be well within their (legal) rights to do so, but that's true for every website with user-generated content

but it's the kind of thing that usually doesn't happen to people who don't make direct threats against the ceo of a company so you're probably fine

and like if you're following good cybersecurity fundamentals already then people shouldn't be able to connect your accounts anyway, like if your blogs aren't associated with the same email or account then you're fine

I have decided I'll be creating a blog to post my twst drabbles(? I think)! Since my aira daydreaming is mostly chit chat and kinda messy and I'd rather send it to you bcs why not? sofkckwe if you don't mind that is, but I don't really know how tumblr works aside rebloging and liking stuff? So I might take a while? I think? Help? - airabu anon (pls I'm just asking for help I am in no way trying to promote a non existing blog)

OOOH hell yeah, go for it! I remember being nervous when first creating my blog and thinking that no one would want to read it but just look where we are now! It was all quite confusing at first and it took some time to work out how I want to run my blog. I´d be more than happy to give some pointers if you want! You´re also more than free to send some more specific questions if you happen to have any☺️

When it comes to starting your own writing blog here are some miscalaneous tips:

Obviously you´ll need to first create an account and think of an url for your blog. If you want the account you´re sending in this anon ask from to be completely separated from your writing blog then I´d recommend making a completely new account instead of a sideblog as you will still like, reblog, comment, send asks and follow from your first account even if you´re logged into your sideblog at the moment.

Try to make an introductory post where you write about what kind of content will be found on your writing blog and establish if you want to accept requests in the future or simply want to write whatever comes to mind. There´s nothing wrong with choosing either options ^^ Make sure to pin that post by clicking on the three dots near the border of the post after posting it. You can only pin one post but it will then always be the first post once someone goes to your blog.

For example, I also have an introductory post with links to all of my masterlists, rules for requesting and such pinned on my blog. If you don´t know what to write you can take a look at what other people wrote and take some inspiration from there! If you do decide to take requests then I would also advice on making a post with your rules as to what you´re comfortable with writing and what not. What fandoms you´re writing for and such.

Once again feel free to take a look at my own rules page if you´re unsure where to start ^^

Also while we´re at it: Start a masterlist as soon as possible because it´s way more managable when you only have a few posts and don´t have to go through countless of posts and link all of them. Trust me, it´s way more comfortable that way. I wouldn´t have a masterlist if I had to start from scratch now dklgdln

As for your posts themselves, I can´t emphasize enough just how important is it to tag your works if you want them to be seen! If you look at my own posts you will see that I tag anything and everything, maybe even excessively so. Add the fandom, the characters, if it´s an x reader than also tag it as that. fandom x reader (twisted wonderland x reader or twst x reader for example), character x reader, a unit or group the character belongs to ( the dorm or unit for twst and enstars, for example diasomnia or knights). Don´t forget to tag anything that might be unsettling or that might need a warning ( yandere, stalking, blood)!

Also this is not necessarily a requirement but I always think it´s nice to also tag what pronouns are used for or what gender the reader is. I always tag my newer works as “gn reader” for example ( and also mention it before the actual writing starts) so that people who might feel uncomfortable with certain labels or pronouns can better curate their experiences.

This is all of course assuming that you want other people to find your drabbles!

If you want your posts to look “prettier” then I recommend using official art if the fandom you´re writing for has it. I´ve sadly seen a few people on here just steal someone´s fanart from somewhere and use it as a picture on their posts without any credit given whatsoever

Hm, that was what came to mind immediately but please don´t be afraid to ask more if there´s anything you want to know or need help with! I´m always here to answer questions as best as I can ^^

More than anything else, I wish you lots of success with your blog!! ☺️

[danikatze]

I got a bunch of new followers (hello 💖) bc of Inktober, and I came across this tag game today (on @vacationgerry 's blog!) so I figured I'd answer these questions as a sort of introduction :))

1. Why did you choose your url?

My name is Danika and a 4 year old English girl once, 15+ years ago, called me Danicat. I loved that so much that it's been my username most places since. It used to be danicat91 bc it wasn't available without numbers, but I hated the numbers so I changed it to the German version Danikatze a few years ago. (it's daanikatze on twitter and ig)

2. Any side blogs?

@danifanatic where I rb stuff is the only active one. I have another where I collect art refs/advice and only to never look at it anymore. And another one where I posted original art but that one's dead too (I don't make enough original art and I prefer posting it here anyway)

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Since 2012 I think

4. Do you have a queue tag?

for my sideblog yeah. It's "q"

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

.. bc I wanted to post nsfw stuff and I heard this is where I could do it hehe. I deleted most of it since then. I had a nsfw sideblog for a bit, but I deleted that too a few years ago bc it was dying anyway and then the porn ban happened and I got sick of it.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I love (and in some ways relate to) Shino and he's wearing one of my favourite hoodies in that one. Just really pleased with that drawing overall!

7. Why did you choose your header?

I thought it was cute and Wai just makes me happy :) (She's kinda my air bison oc? My best friend gave me an Appa plushie and it looked nothing like him, and so Wai was born ^^)

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

My dog dad Kakashi comic.. Almost 30k notes now

9. How many mutuals do you have?

Around 15 I think? I've talked to maybe 5 or 6 of them hahah

10. How many followers do you have?

A few thousand, but I accumulated them so slowly that I feel like half of them must've left tumblr by now hahah.

11. How many people do you follow?

78

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

In hindsight I guess the dog dad Kakashi comic is pretty much a shitpost ^^;

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?

Err about 15-30 min every morning and then compulsively checking the rest of the day

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?

Once, wwwaay in the beginning.. I followed someone who kept bullying one of their friends. I told them said friend didn't seem to think it was funny at all, and they told me to mind my own business, after which I unfollowed them. I've learned to just unfollow people when their blog makes me anxious in whatever way (if I can't blacklist the stuff that makes me uncomfortable)

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I skip those very quickly, or maybe see if I can rb another version.

16. Do you like tag games?

Yes, but tagging other people is bad for my anxiety :P

17. Do you like ask games?

Yeah! It's been a while since I've done one

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?

idk?

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Oh for an aro person I crush so much.. Art crushes mostly, like a mutual will post something and I'll go 🥰 ohh 🥰 amazing 🥰 how skilled 🥰 how cute 🥰

[bts-ficrecs]

Hello!! I know this may be random, but I've been a fan of your blog for quite some time now and I was thinking of creating a fic recs blog myself. Basically I have some question for you, of course if you don't mind answering. I'm sorry if some of them are too obvious, I new to this social network (I don't even have a tumblr account yet).

Do you need to ask the writers permission to recommend one of their works?

How is it that you find so many fics on tumblr? How do you search for them? How do you search for specific aus or pairings for example?

Do you have any piece of advice on how to get followers, on how to get people interested in reading what you recommend?

I hope this is not a bother, and that you can answer these questions publicly. If not, I totally understand. I wouldn't want you sharing top secret information 🤭 Thank you for your time and help 💓

Hellooo sweet anon!! It's not a bother at all and I'm more than happy to answer your questions!! 💗 I say YES to a fic rec blog.

I’m pretty sure you don't need permission to reblog or recommend fics. In fact I think I can say this for almost all writers: they welcome the recs and love!!! Sharing is caring in the fan fic world 🤩 this is also one way how writers gain traction - through word of mouth! So I'm absolutely all for reccing writer's works like crazy lol

As for finding fics, aside from the obvious (following 19392 writers), I follow a lot of nets like:

@btswritingcafe 

@btsghostiewritersnet​ 

@ficswithluv 

@btswritersguild 

@bangtanscenery 

@btsbookclub 

@btsficfinds (i know it's not a net. still wanted to share bc I find so many great fics there too)

I also follow other fic rec blogs like:

@hellreads​ 

@ex-silent-reader 

@sherecsbtsfics 

@sushireads 

@thirstybtsficrecs 

@flakandforay (not exclusively a fic rec blog but their fic rec posts are 😚👌) 

and ofc check out writers own fic recs sideblogs or posts! as well as old/abandoned rec blogs/networks! there are a LOT of old gems that date back to 2015/2016. you just gotta have patience to look for them :”)

And sometimes I go through the explore page and just scroll down the "bts fanfic" tag or any other tags that fit my fancy at that moment. Like right now I've really been in the mood for some fluffy comforting jk fics 🥺 Also just going through writers’ blogs and see who they interact with helps me discover new people! There is a plethora of new and old content out there!! You just gotta look for it!🤩🤩💗 the effort is worth it I promise. ALSO AO3!!!! everything above was just tumblr related! but add ao3 (and wattpad if you read there) to the mix and you are literally swimming in fics wowowow

As for your last question, I didn't make this blog to gain followers so I can't help you there. I actually never expected anyone to follow me cause I just wanted a space to freely word vomit my love @ writers and freak out with fellow readers. I guess gradually people noticed my reblogs and fic rec compilations. And my blog went from a solo spazzing party to a spazzing party where everyone's invited lol

At the same time I get wanting followers. It gets lonely when you have no one to scream with when character A does something dumb or when character B is hopelessly pining after character A. Lol. If your intention is to interact with those who follow your fic rec blog uumm idk I guess my advice would be to show your enthusiasm for the fic in question and ask people to cri with you? lol I got nothin’ else cause even I don’t know

It also helps to befriend other people who are just as crazy into reading fics as you are! I know I've befriended at least 4 wonderful people through my fic recs blog and I love love love spazzing with them over fics and talking about life in general!!!

who wants to create a bts fic reader’s club? someone pls make one and add me hahaha.

Anyway!!! I hope you end up making an account!🤩 whether it’s a fic recs blog or just a good ol’ tumblog. screaming (in joy or pain) @ writers and throwing bags of luv and tears @ them is one of the funnest things to do :”) i promis
