Fun Fact

I’m writing a story for leon and a male oc that i made. I usually post my stories on wattpad, but i want to post on tumblr too. But idk where to start cuz i’m still new to this app. Do u have a couple ideas on where i should start? What i should add to the story?

i started by creating a brand new account just to keep everything organized. i made an intro post and then pinned it to my profile so it's the first thing that comes up when you click on my account and then i made the rules/about me/masterlists and linked them (do it through the app so the links actually work lol)
community engagement is kind of hard to achieve when you're first starting out but consistent posting and interacting with followers helps. when i didn't have ideas i would scroll through prompt lists (@urfriendlywriter has a ton of great ones !!) and other fics to see if anything inspired me
tumblr's tagging system is weird but usually when i'm writing for a new fandom i'll scroll through the "x reader" tag for a while to see what the top posts use
as far as the story itself goes, ppl really like proper grammar/punctuation (so no walls of text). personally i like it when ppl include some kind of gif/icons/headers at the top. titles aren't necessary but they're a nice inclusion. also bc the fic is about an oc i wouldn't use x reader tags on it
other misc things i'd recommend:
— include word counts
— use "read more" breaks on longer fics
— use proper tagging
— specify the gender and/or pronouns (especially on x reader fics)
— i don't have a lot of moots but they are a great way to make friends and a lot of us will share each other's fics around
— rblg other writer's work and leave feedback on them !! feedback is so so so important
— don't take it too seriously. we write fics for free and most ppl do it out of passion. don't let anyone make you feel bad for your writing
I just realized... if I ever move out from my parents... I have to pack my things alone... cos I can't have my parents see how many sex toys I fucking have...
also, I was thinking of putting them inside of my socks? 🤣. I have no clue how to pack them...
