Formatting Addition - Tumblr Posts
Explanatory Post
Hello everyone!
This post is just a basic explanation of how this blog will run from now on in. We officially started the blog on the 19th of September 2017. These last few days it may have seemed a bit quiet, it was mostly because the admins were busy making preparations. We have lots of things in store for our members and we hope you enjoy being part of our community!
Weekly Prompts
Firstly, shout out to @weltraumheldin (Admin Jana) for making these wonderful banners! Weekly prompts will come out at the start of every week. These prompts will all be for works under 1000 words in length where you are given a simple prompt and have to create a piece using it (anything you like, fanfics, one shots, poems, original writing, absolutely anything). You may post these onto your own blog and tag it under #weeklyprompt or submit it to the network. There are no other limitations apart from them having to be under 1000 words (max 1500). We hope that this will help with being able to compact a lot of story into few words. At the end of each week, the admins will go through the various writings we receive and offer feedback to each of the writers about their writings. Other members are also encouraged to give feedback to each other and the admins.
Monthly Prompts
Monthly prompts will work exactly like the weekly prompts only that they’ll come out once a month and much longer and they’ll also be a bit more thought provoking. Please tag these under #monthlyprompt or submit it to the network. It is encouraged that the members of the network try to do the weekly and monthly prompts if they can/find time to. But it is understandable if you are busy and unable to. The first monthly prompt will come out the first of October.
Random Prompts
Random prompts will come out (as the name suggests) randomly. These are just free for use.
Tags
Please tag your works with #thewritersnetwork if you’d like us to reblog it onto our blog. Also it’d be nice if you could specify if your writing is sfw or nsfw, though a lot of people do put it in the description section that is okay too just as long as we know what it is so we can tag it appropriately on the network. And of course the #weekly prompt and #montly prompt tags. Lastly, if you would like something to be given feedback on please also tag it as #feedback wanted so that we can give it feed back specifically.
Feedback
Feedback will be given when asked (via the #feedbackwanted tag or asked directly to the blog) but if anyone has any comments to share with any other member after reading their writing then it would be lovely if an ask is left for them in their own message box. If you’d like to anonymously give feedback for something then send an anon to the network specifying which writing you mean and your comments. Constructive criticism is great, but if we find anything rude or hurtful we will not post it.
Formatting
If your writing is over 500 words please put a keep reading cut off
If nsfw, please try keep most of it under the keep reading cut off
Specify if your writing is NSFW
I hope everyone enjoys being part of this network, we will work hard to make it a nice, safe, and productive environment for everyone to share there writings! If you have any questions please message us.
