A few tips for new Tumblr users wanting to write here

Yo if you're here from Reddit or Twitter or some other site and just wanted to give this a shot you may have seen some blogs that are dedicated to writing headcanons or short fics or even original works for their own OCs and you may be thinking "hey I wanna give that a shot! I like to write!" then I have some tips to make it easier on you and people who see your content.

1. First off, if you're writing a pretty long piece the you should probably put it under a read more, it'll look like this on mobile

and this on desktop

or you can write :readmore: on a line by itself and press enter.

2. Now if you're gonna write for a whole bunch of different fandoms and you wanna make a master list then I suggest making an actual list with the fandoms you write for and then making more lists with the actual content as a you go along because you can only have 100 links in one post (I know that sounds like a lot but as someone who has around 300 Transformers things written trust me you fill up a post quicker than you expect, especially if you take requests from other people). The way I typically do it is like this

The first pic is the MASTER master list that lists everything I write for and when they're underlined like that it means they're links. The second pic is after clicking the G1 link, it's a separate post that has the actual fics and headcanon links. Note the 6/100 in the tags, this is how I keep up with how many things I've added. You can of course just use the numbers options from here

or just number them manually from your keyboard like I'm doing with this post. Adding links has no barring on what else you add to the post so you can add yourself some fancy header or divider pics if you want.

3. Adding links! Links can look like this https://www.tumblr.com/wingwaver/721887224846778368/test-post-for-reasons?source=share or like this https://wingwaver.tumblr.com/post/721887224846778368/test-post-for-reasons depending on whether you're linking from mobile or desktop/browser Just highlight the text you wanna add a link to and a the little chain will move to the end, click it and paste your url you want to link to and press add link, then press post/save draft/save (whatever the blue button says)

Now you've successfully linked a post to another post!

4. Tagging! To get your fics and headcanons seen to build an audience you usually wanna tag the stuff correctly. If you're posting a fic about Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney then you'll tag it with #Ace Attorney, #Miles Edgeworth, and #Phoenix Wright in the tags area. But it's also a good idea to mention if it's a ship or general fic in the tags too. If so then putting ship names and #Miles Edgeworth x Phoenix Wright and #Miles Edgeworth/Phoenix Wright in the tags will help everyone know this is a ship fic. Tagging with characters or fandoms that aren't apart of the fic just clogs the tags for people looking for content of said characters and fandoms so it's very looked down on here and will likely get some of your stuff reported for spam so only use the relevant tags. Also tagging for triggers can be tricky here because of how fucky tumblr is but please don't tag censor tags. Tagging things like #a**** or #a*use or even #abu$e doesn't work here because people who have #abuse blacklisted will be able to see this content because it wasn't tagged properly. Also if you're writing for OCs or reader inserts it's common courtesy to tag those appropriately too. Someone looking for a reader insert may not want to read an OC and vice versa. Also many people filter those out so try to add tags like #x reader, #*fandom name* x reader, and #*character name* x reader for easier filtering. Also people cruise those tags too so it'll help people who fo want to read that content find your stuff!

This, but with a ship

disliking a character not because I actually find them annoying or whatever but because the people who like that character are insufferable

I'm saving this in my gallery 🤭

punk! jade with excessive piercings yes please 🥹

At the very very least, add a good title and desc

Eg:

Lurking Reader

Hi I'm just a reader don't mind me :)

Most people will atleast see the title and not block+report you

oh before i forget

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT CAN YALL PLEASE MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK LIKE A PERSON AND NOT A BOT. ADD A PROFILE PICTURE. IT CAN BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HUMAN BEING AT THIS POINT. ADD A LITTLE BLOG TITLE. EVEN IF IT’S JUST A KEYBOARD SMASH THAT IS SOMETHING. AND PLEASE REBLOG OR MAKE EVEN JUST A SINGLE POST.

i mean this all in the nicest possible way. just please do this so you don’t get blocked and reported by everyone you follow or like a post from.

What op said in the tags!

Would it be alright if I request a Yandere Platonic Killua and Gon and Yandere Hisoka and Illumi with a F!Tanjiro Reader (Who has Nezuko with her) that’s very affectionate, kind and warm towards them, yet becomes fiercely protective of them (She broke some of Illumi and Hisoka’s ribs in anger over their unhealthy behavior/interest towards Gon, Killua and Nezuko) and Killua and Gon instantly imprinted on Reader as their ‘Big Sister’ after this (Killua is very protective of Reader and Nezuko because of how kind they are to him like with Gon) Killua likes how Reader makes him feel warm (As in he feels safe and he can always trust Reader with anything)

Meanwhile Illumi and Hisoka became interested in Reader because of her strength and skill (Harming a Zoldyck and a Phantom Troupe Nember without Nen is an impressive feat worthy enough to potentially marry in the Zoldycks, while Hisoka is just being his creepy ass self)

I’m so hyper-fixated on Hunter x Hunter right now

i know i probably shouldn't say this kind of thing since i don't even take requests anymore, but there's always been something so unintentionally selfish about this kind of prompt to me. 'hey just write me space opera when you have the time pls' babe when would i have the time. in what world would i possibly have the time. for free, nonetheless.
