How do I do an askblog, F!S?
(Anonymous) 2014-10-24 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)1. Do I need a completely separate account for this, or will a secondary Tumblr do?
2. How weird is it to not do roleplay? How weird is it to be text-only? (I'm a horrible artist, and I honestly don't care enough to put in the effort to get better, but I'm a pretty good writer. And I generally don't do well with the dedicated one-on-one interaction RPing requires.)
3. How do I get people to notice I exist? My main account has a whole whopping six followers, none of whom are interested in the series, so I can't just reblog everything and get some of my followers to come over.
Thanks for answering!

2) No idea.
3) I'd assume posting in the tags would work. Don't expect to get a lot of followers at once. But hopefully you will make one post that goes viral.

(Anonymous) 2014-10-24 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)2) People might ask you to rolepay, but there's no reason you have to say yes. When I used to have an ask blog (before an abusive friend guilted me out of posting in it, long unrelated story), I flat-out refused to, because it would have opened the door to a heap of ship warring nonsense. However, if you're going to be text-only, you probably need to be extra sure that you've got an accurate and entertaining voice for the character.
3) Most ask blogs make a 'now accepting questions!' post to start things off, and add a bunch of relevant fandom tags to it.

(Anonymous) 2014-10-25 02:24 am (UTC)(link)Make a completely separate blog and follow yourself.
Why should you follow yourself? Well, because your tags won't show up in searches unless you have at least one follower.

(Anonymous) 2014-10-25 06:01 am (UTC)(link)1. get a secondary, tumblr is designed to make sideblogs easy.
2. not weird, I don't think? I don't do RP on my blog, though if someone with an in-character blog asks mine a question I do reply as if that character is asking.
3. tag at least your first few asks with the series and character name. eventually people will notice you, especially if you're active.
