How do I do an askblog, F!S?

(Anonymous) 2014-10-24 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm considering trying to start a Tumblr askblog for my favorite obscure subseries of a popular franchise (details missing because I'm not sure I'm going to do it at all) and I have a few questions. I realize you guys may not be the best people to ask, but you're the best I have.
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!

1) I'd do completely seperate. Just so you don't accidentally post something to the wrong sideblog.

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.

1) I'd suggest a completely separate account, due to the fact that if you ever want to reply to a message privately, Tumblr will be stupid and attach your main blog's name to it, rather than your side blog's. This may cause confusion.
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.

Gonna add to what the other two said:

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.

I run an askblog

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.
