Hii, i love all of your fanfics and love that you write the inc*st fics, lol. It’s so hard to find well written ones and you always serve. You are also always so kind answering the anon aks and seem like such a cool person. I want to start writing some darker content for my page, but so far I have only fluff and I feel like it would be weird and some of my followers might think differently of me if I do. Do you have any advice regarding getting different types of content out? that type of thing?
hello!!!!! aaah thank you so much!!! <33 your words are so lovely and sweet and i appreciate them a lot!!! <333 oooh hmmm, it’s hard for me to say, because i started my blog as a dark content blog, so this has always been the content i’ve been releasing from the start. i understand where you’re coming from, though! i tried my best to give you advice under the cut hehe <3
well, first of all, no one should be judging you for the type of content you put out. you write for YOU, and you write what you want to, and you owe absolutely NO ONE an explanation for why you write what you write or create what you create. i think the bigger worry here should be suddenly putting darker/triggering content on the dashes of people who aren’t exactly expecting that type of content from you, if that makes sense? and maybe that’s what you meant, but i still wanted to mention that first sentiment because it’s so so so true.
in that case, i think you have two options. either you make a post announcing that you will begin writing dark content on your current blog (always tagged and trigger warned appropriately of course), or you make a side blog/separate blog for dark content specifically. i’ve seen a few people do the second option (make a side blog for dark content) and it definitely makes sense to me if you’d like to keep those two genres separate. BUT i also understand how much work running two separate blogs is. thus, i think it really comes down to YOUR personal preference here. do you want to split your blog? do you want a space just for your dark content? or would you rather have all of your work on one blog?
because either way and no matter which option you decide on, you should be putting trigger and content warnings all over the posts, right? if you decide to keep all of your content on your one blog, make a thorough announcement about it and get a trigger warning tagging system in place FIRST before you post anything, that way any of your current followers who DON’T want to see that content can blacklist the tags before you post at all, you know what i mean?? technically you should have a trigger warning tagging system in place regardless of which option you go with too, but you know what i mean haha. all i’m saying is make a post that informs your current followers of your change in content and exactly how you’re going to tag those posts, so they aren’t blindsided by it.
at the end of the day, it’s YOUR blog, and you should be doing whatever makes YOU feel comfortable and best. if you’re unsure, you can always try the separate blog option and see how you like it, see if it’s something you enjoy and something that’s feasible for you personally and then make a full decision on whether or not you’re going to be splitting your content across two blogs or not!! good luck sweetpea <33
