Some tips to start a fandom blog (for writers)

Okay, before I begin I will like to say that I am no expert or am 100% sure these are bound to work. But these are some things I learnt over time that might help you out! 

1. Tagging posts.

This one is one of the most important points! You must tag everything properly for your content to actually reach as many people as possible. 

Do your research! Search up common/popular tags people use for the content you want to post and use them wisely. 

Use no more than 20 tags because tumblr will not show them up. When you post something, make a quick search of any of the tags you used and go to the recent section to see whether your post actually showed up. If not, try posting again.  

For new blogs- don’t start posting as soon as you make a blog. Your posts will not show up. Instead, reblog some content (gifs / moodboards / fanfiction etc) for a week or two along with tags! 

Tags I use for my fanfiction**:   #character full name   #character first name   #character full name fanfiction   #character full name x reader   #character full name x you   #character full name x y/n   #character first name x reader   #character first name x you   #fandom name   #side character full names (excluding oc)

**I’m currently writing for HP, Marvel etc. 

2. Taglists.

Now this is a tricky topic because there’s never a straight answer to this. I’ll just list down the some things I’ve learnt about taglists.

A long taglist does not equate to more number of notes. While taglists help your readers to be notified about your content, I know for a fact that it doesn’t mean everyone mentioned will interact with the post. Some might do, some might just leave a like while some might not read at all. 

Taglists work only when the people you tag, read and reblog and are actually active. Otherwise not so much. 

Tagging will take at least 10-15 minutes, copy pasting a taglist doesn’t work. You have to click on each individual user so tumblr tags them. While tumblr has updated by adding the filtering activity option, there is still a good chance that the person might not get the notification at all. 

Is there an alternative? Well, what I’ve done is that I’ve made a side blog. Whenever I post some new content- I reblog it over there. If people have the notifications on for that blog, they get notified whenever I post. It technically works the same way as taglists. 

Another thing you can do is submit the link to your post to @catching-the-train-to-hogwarts to be promoted to a large number of readers. PSA: Only for HP fandom.

3. Posting time.

Yes, this is important. Search up the time tumblr or the specific fandom is most active. Post during that time or a little later, so that people could see your works on their dashes. 

Schedule your timezone reblogs strategically. 

4. Interact.

Interact with your mutuals, with other writers. Comment and reblog their works and talk to them. Don’t be afraid to seek help or ask something if they welcome that- you are always free to send me asks. It’s better when people know you because that way it’s more likely that they’ll read and see your work. 

I am not telling you that anyone is bound to reblog your work because you do the same or the fact that they are your friends. I’m trying to say that sometimes a little support goes a long way. I wouldn’t be here if my mutuals didn’t help me out in the beginning.

5. Post format.

Okay so what I’ve found while searching and reading up fanfiction is that I personally was more likely to read a fanfiction with a summary and mentioned word count. 

Use a keep reading option or tag it with #long post. If your fanfiction is more than 1K words and/or contains nsfw/smut content- use that, it’s monotonous to see a wall of text on your dash. It’s the three dot box on a new line  adjacent to the insert gif in case you’re using the website. If you’re using the app, type :readmore: on a new line and press enter.

Use warnings. It is essential- mention it if there are none. 

6. Miscellaneous.

Participate in challenges. Enter in different challenges while making new content because one, it will give you exposure and two it will be great way to promote your work. 

If you’re starting a completely new blog, it’s better to have content made up in advance. Because firstly you need time so that tumblr recognizes that you’re not a bot so you’ll have to reblog posts for a week or two with appropriate tags. Then posting content consistently does give you a boost because more content (maybe at a gap of 3 days) means more followers, more people who read your works. 

When to make masterlists? People are usually quicker to follow when they see a masterlist made so it’s an advantage to make one when you’ve posted about 3-4 works. But if you make a masterlist later- after posting about 10-15 works, it will give you a boost in the activity because new users will be able to see your works and binge. The choice is upto you.

There are users who would say that it’s good to take as many requests as possible because it helps you grow. While it is true to some extend, I don’t find it to be useful. Because when I first begun, taking in all types of requests burnt me out and lowered my motivation because there were scenarios I didn’t relate with at all but still wrote them. The quality of my content decreased too. Again, it’s up to you.

I used to write headcanons during writing blocks. Headcanons are usually easier to deal with and not to mention the fact that they are fun. That way I could provide for more content and still not stress out.

Most of all, take it easy. It’s not your job- you are not supposed to create content every time. You, your health and happiness comes first. People will adore and love you even if you stop posting for months straight. Have fun, okay?

MASTERLIST

“You can’t expect me to believe this!” James was looking at you with his mouth agape and exaggerated wide eyes which made the conversation slightly more embarrassing than it already was. 

“5 minutes till midnight!” Sirius announced from a table with several bottles of champagne by his side. 

“Well, you should. I’m telling the truth!“ 

"Y/N!” he shouted in a serious note, as if he was trying to decide whether you were lying or not. Your ears were burning. Someone hex me right now. 

“James!” you answered - this was like a bad version of the Marco Polo game.

Something in your eyes convinced him of your honesty. “You have never been kissed on New Year’s Eve!” he gasped with such amazement that you didn’t have the heart to reveal that, in fact, you have never been kissed by anyone on any other occasion - you still needed that remaining bit of dignity. Well, not a real kiss, that is. The only time you have ever kissed someone was on a game of spin the bottle in 3rd year, when you and Remus shared a very awkward one-second kiss, that James never forgot to bring up every other day. 

“Why is it such a big deal - I don’t need a kiss to have a lucky year! I can manage fairly well on my own, thank you very much!" 

The whole Gryffindor Common Room was buzzing with chatter, clinking glasses and loud music. New Year’s Eve meant a great deal to gryffindors, whether it was for the booze, the games or the chance to kiss your crush at midnight. 

You could proudly say that your presence was owed to none of the above, but rather to the persistent demands of your best friend, Marlene. Not that you didn’t love a good party - it’s the opposite, really. The only problem was your low intolerance to alcohol; three big gulps of beer were enough to make you the talk of the school for at least two weeks. And with Marlene and the marauders by your side, the chances of that to happen were outstandingly high.

"It’s a matter of principle, it’s about the neediness of human nature, about their need for closure and contact in order to feel full and satisfied! It’s about the idea of knowing that you have emotional support!” he declared passionately with a hand over his chest.

RB WITH DRACO TAGS!

It was the bane of his existence. Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Prince, stuck with childish drawings all over his arms and hands every single day. They were getting increasingly difficult to hide with summer approaching and the weather heating up - making long sleeves a dangerous option. But every time he washed them away, more appeared almost instantly. It’s as if whoever it was, was carrying a quill and ink with them everywhere they went.

Soulmates weren’t something Draco believed in, especially when his soulmate seemed to be a childish annoyance. It wasn’t real, it was just a random pick of the cards. The only reason people actually fall in love with their soulmates is because they think they’re supposed to, but you don’t have to. There’s always a choice. Love isn’t any different, right?

It was these thoughts that coursed through his mind on a daily basis, distracting him from most other things. For someone who didn’t believe in it, he sure thought about it quite often. In fact, he was thinking about it at this very moment as he washed the sketches of flowers and hearts from his skin, watching the ink wash away in the sink below him - watching all remnants of his soulmate wash away with it. He didn’t need a soulmate. He didn’t.

“Dang it,” you mumble, watching as your drawings disappear from your skin again. Doodling on your skin was such a habit that you never thought of it affecting your soulmate the way it seemed to. But when they started washing it all off just to spite you, you started drawing them back on immediately after just to spite them. There was something deep down inside you that hoped to see the same sketches on another’s skin, that way you’d know - you’d know who it was, who you were destined for. But they never let you get too close. Being in Hufflepuff kept you from taking things too far. Your friends had urged you to draw on your face to really make a statement, but you refused. There was no use in making them angry at you before they’d even met you. So instead, you continued to draw on your arms as you always had done, waiting to find someone with arms that mirrored yours.

Dipping your quill in the ink beside you on your desk, you scratch it against your skin, drawing a rainbow without colours. Underneath, you added the fluffy clouds and a small pot of gold on your wrist. There was something oddly amusing thinking about your soulmate’s face as you draw ridiculous images on yourself. Hearts and flowers take up most of the remaining free space, and now feeling satisfied, you place your quill in your bag and leave the empty ink pot at your desk. But the satisfaction wears off, thinking about the soulmate who seemingly can’t accept you.

“Oh piss off,” Draco sighs, lifting his sleeves up to see a whole array of drawings across his arms and hands. He lets his head fall backwards, dropping over the back of his chair with a loud groan.

“What’s wrong with you?” Pansy asks, smirking slightly. He doesn’t respond audibly, just lifts his arms in shame for her to see. Looking at Draco’s arms, she manages to hold in her laughter, but only barely.

“That’s really something,” she grins, “You know, there’s this girl in my Charms class who always has drawings on her arms. She’s a Hufflepuff though,” She seethes, perfectly content that Draco would never go for her.

“A Hufflepuff? That just proves soulmates are an absurd business,” he scoffs, pulling his sleeves back down. She was real?

“Exactly,” Pansy agrees, placing her hand on Draco’s arm and smiling up at him expectantly, leaning in slightly. Whether it was the fact that Pansy had the audacity to believe Draco wanted to be with her, or because she’d actually touched him, he didn’t know, but he rose abruptly from his seated position, staring at her in awe.

“However absurd, it doesn’t give you the green light,” he snarls, walking away and into his dorm. He clutches where she’d touched, his breathing not quite steady. That was where his soulmate had made their mark, and Pansy touching it made him feel an indescribable anger. He wasn’t hers. But- no, he wasn’t anyone's, especially not some Hufflepuff’s - and that was bargaining on the off chance Pansy was telling the truth. So once again, he washes every last bit of ink off his arms, every last piece of evidence.

“I can’t tell if they hate me or the drawings…or both,” you sigh, playing around with your untouched breakfast.

“I’m sure it’s nothing, maybe they just don’t want hearts and flowers all over their arms. I mean, not everyone enjoys staining their skin,” you friend muses.

“I know, it just feels like something more than that. You’d think after all this time they’d just let up,”

“Maybe they thought you would,” they counter. You’d never thought about that, it had never even crossed your mind. Maybe you should stop, clearly your soulmate wasn’t happy with you doing the opposite. If it was meant to be, you’d find them, and if it wasn’t then you wouldn’t. But this almost felt like giving up. Should you give up?

“You’re right. I’ll let up,” you decide, shovelling your cereal into your mouth, giving in to an invisible force that doesn’t want you.

Days had passed and every urge you had to doodle on your skin, you replaced with doodling on spare parchment. It felt a little wrong to waste parchment like this, but you had to. There was a doodling-on-skin strike to be upheld and you weren’t about to cave. You wondered if your soulmate noticed. No, of course they noticed, what you really wondered was whether they cared or if they were just happy to have their arms clean. Every time a day passed without so much of an indication from your soulmate made the next day a little harder to wake up to. There was something comforting in watching the drawings disappear from your arms - it meant they were there, they were real.

It had been days since anything appeared on Draco’s arms. At first, he was delighted that his arms were his own, but now he was ashamed to say that he missed those doodles. There was no explanation to their disappearance, it wasn’t gradual, it was a sudden lack of his soulmate’s presence. He knew he had a reputation around Hogwarts, he knew that, and maybe that was part of the reason for his anxiety. What if as soon as they found out it was him, they’d leave without giving him a chance? He wouldn’t give himself a chance were the situation reversed, so why should he expect anyone else to? He couldn’t. And as much as he refused to believe in soulmates, he couldn’t help that small part of him from yearning for them.

As the hours passed, Pansy’s words became louder and louder inside his head. ‘There’s this girl in my Charms class who always has drawings on her arms. She’s a Hufflepuff’. How could he find her? Was it her? Why did he want to find her? He didn’t know, but he didn’t care anymore, he wanted to see her. He was well versed in skipping classes, this would be just another day. The day he’d meet his soulmate. ‘Just another day’ he told himself.

Peering into the class where he knew Pansy was sitting and grumbling in, his eyes wandered over to the Hufflepuffs. He didn’t know what he was expecting to find there. He didn’t know what this girl looked like, he didn’t know who she was and now there were no doodles on her arms to distinguish her from the rest. He scanned the students, hoping that when he saw her, he’d know. But he didn’t, he didn’t see anyone that made him feel anything like that.

“Oof,” someone says from behind him after colliding with him. Ink spills all over her, her robes, arms and specks on her face. Looking at her, his breath hitches. Her hair is pulled back with a ribbon, wisps of it falling across her face and over the specks of black ink now littered there. Her y/e/c eyes widening at the ink covering floorboards and then to himself.

“Oh Merlin, I’ve gotten it all over you. I’m so sorry,” she fusses. But Draco hadn’t felt any ink spill onto him, he still didn’t feel anything, even with her mentioning it. But she’s right, there’s ink all over him. He takes her arm, pulling it over to his so he can look at them both. The same ink pattern is sprawled across them both, spanning over their arms and covering all their fingers but the ring finger, which only has a small spot of ink on it. As if the same thoughts are running through her head as she looks up to him with wide eyes.

“I’ve got to go, sorry,” she says, picking up the ink pot and rushing into class without even washing her face of the ink.

Draco remains standing there, completely awestruck. Did she hate him or had she not realised like he did? But it was her, and she was beautiful, and she hated him...and she was real. He scolded himself for ever believing this would work, but now more than ever he wanted it to. How could he make it work? Leaning against the wall, he looks at the ink spilled across the floor. The ink - he knows exactly what he has to do.

“You alright y/n? You’ve been acting weird all day,” you friend says, a concerned expression gracing their face. You think back to your altercation with Draco. It all made sense now. No wonder he hated the doodles, no wonder he hated you. Draco Malfoy would never be with a Hufflepuff, let alone you. But something about the way he looked at you gave you hope. Maybe it was false hope, but until he crushed it completely, it would remain.

“Yeah, just tired,” you lie, catching a glimpse of Draco at the Slytherin table. He’s alone, no friends by his side at the very end of the table. That wasn’t particularly usual of him. You watch as he dips his quill in ink and scratches something down. Then again, homework often needed the absence of friends. Turning away and back to your own table, you smile at your friends, with him in the back of your mind. Though his reputation preceded him, you couldn’t help but want to know what was beyond that reputation. You were inexplicably drawn to him. If only he was to you.

“I thought you said you weren’t going to doodle on your arms anymore, y/n,” your friend remarks, raising an eyebrow in disapproval. Your heart skips a beat, your stomach drops and your eyes flicker to your arms. Seeing a small heart, flower and rainbow surrounding the words ‘A chance?’, your mouth falls open in disbelief. You break out into a smile, finding Draco’s eyes already locked onto you from across the room. Scoffing, you stand up and exit the hall with a huge grin plastered on your face. You hope that he’ll follow you.

Draco launches himself up from his seat, following your smile - a smile he hoped to see more often than not. His palms become sweaty as he walks with pace outside of the Great Hall in search of you. He didn’t have to look far, you were leaning against the wall just outside waiting for him. Could you really be giving him a chance? He didn’t know why he wanted one. Just being involved with a Hufflepuff could land him being disowned. Would that really be so bad? He meets your eyes and matches your contagious smile and all fears melt away. He didn’t have to think about that now. He just had to think about you - a task he would meet with ease.

Hoping to see that smile more, you walk to meet him in the middle. He looked much better with a smile than a scowl.

“A chance,” you agree, holding out your hand for him to shake. He takes yours in his, the connection sending shock waves through your body from the feeling of his skin on yours - where it all started.

a/n: lmao how was that?

DANCING COLOURS AND FADING FIREWORKS ━━━ remus lupin

summary; in which, you represent fireworks in more ways than one.

warnings; death? angst? crappy writing? uhh that‘s about it I think

note; this is for @kalimagik​’s and @hufflefluff-writer​ / @the-hufflefluffwriter​‘s a very harry potter summer so yeah, and uh i hope i did the prompt enough justice

Remus remembered meeting you, both naive and innocent. When he smiled so brightly, the kind of smile where his jaw would hurt from all the strain and his eyes would crinkle at the sides, and when you looked at him and the stars seemed to litter your eyes, shimmering with life, and his heart was still beating and racing in his chest, and butterflies swarmed in your stomach. You had crashed into him, his books slipped from his hands and your mouth stammered out all sorts of apologies. And thirteen-year-old Remus could have sworn that sparks went off in the distance that day, a warning of some sorts.

“I’m so sorry!” You said— voice breathless and shaky from the sudden impact. “I didn’t mean to bump into you!" Remus looked up from the ground, his arms flailing around to get all his things before they got stomped by the hungry students heading to the Great Hall, and he smiled in blatant amusement before assuring you, "It’s alright, really.” And his heart tightened when he caught your eye for the very first time. 

And if someone had went up to him as he read a book filled with little notes you and he shared during a class, tapped his shoulders and asked him to describe you in one word, he would beam and grin from ear to ear, close the book with a certain gentleness and respond with fireworks without a second doubt. You entered his life and brought a bang in the darkness around him— a bang that held so many vibrant colours and warmth that made him want to ask you to frighten him again, just for the thrill you gave.

You stood in front of Remus’ dorm with a mischievous glint in your eyes, stopping for a mere second and taking a deep breath— bringing the biggest grin you can muster. Slowly picking your right foot up and not thinking twice before kicking the door open. The contact of the wooden door slamming into the wall making a loud boom that surely reverberated across the dorm. You strutted inside just in time to see Remus shoot up from his bed, an alarmed look on his face. His cheeks tinting pink while fumbling with the duvet to cover his shirtless-self. You didn’t stop cackling at him the entire week.

You really did represent fireworks, in a lot of ways. And for an example, Remus would agree and say it’s because you were beautiful, mesmerizing even. Always so entrancing that he had found it a challenge to turn his gaze away from you. You would dance in colours and fire and bring life to your surroundings.You would create a ballet in the sky and Remus often had to resist the urge to dance with you… until he didn’t. And so he and you danced the night away, oblivious to the world and its woes.

“Do you fancy a dance, Mister Lupin?” You asked, stretching your arm for him to accept and playfully wiggling your brows. Remus looked past your shoulder, finally noticing that it was only the two of you without partners. Letting out a small sigh and abandoning his glass cup on the table, finally taking your hand in his. Everything felt so natural and easy with him in that moment, as spun you around before pulling you even closer to his chest than before. His heart was soaring with all kinds of happy feelings and yours was too. Everything was blocked out from around you, the time stopping when he became acutely aware of the small distance between you. With his forehead against yours, and lazy grins mirroring the other.

And in reality, your similarities don’t stop there. Another example is because you, much like the cackling fire flowers, faded. You dispersed and shattered and only left a cold breeze to brush past Remus. The colourful skies went back to black and the booming sounds that he had become so familiar were long gone with only a soft buzzing to remind him of what he had lost. And in moments like these, when left alone with only his thoughts, did he realize that he loved you too much. Without you, he felt broken. The excitement he only ever experienced with you was nothing but a mere, distant memory in the back of his head, left there only to itch with nostalgia.

Remus dropped down on the floor next to you, and scooped your lifeless body. He cradled you in his chest, rocking you back and forth. In a moment of denial, he mumbled prayers, and he had that small sliver of hope that you would show a sign of life, your eye lids to twitch or your fingers to curl, he wanted something— anything. 

He wanted you to wake up; much like when he would shake you out of sleep at night after a nightmare that had teemed its way through his brain, to make sure you were still there. But you didn’t wake up, like last night. You didn’t groan and tell him to calm down; brush your fingers through his hair and lull him back into a dreamless blissful sleep. And as if everything had just crashed down in the cruelest and most tragic way possible, he unleashed a bitter and raw, bloody cry; a cry so full of agony and heartache, just as bloody as the body in his arms. A cry that even Sirius winced as he heard it, the pain as if his own and all the heart strings began to tug as he watched his friend break right before his eyes.
