hi !! i hope ur doing okay :) i heard ab the plagiarism thing and im so sorry u had to go through that :/

i js had a quick question if it's okay w u ??

im not rlly like. new to tumblr or anything 😅 but i recently decided to start posting fics & its rlly discouraging to see 0 interaction w anything i post :( i know that the likes to rbs ratio is on whack recently but no one even bothers to like my posts and its kinda.. demotivating tbvh :(( i've checked and i know all my fics r showing up in the tags so i rlly dont know what the issue is !!

do u have any tips on how to get more traction for ur fics ?

tysm in advance for answering this and i hope u hv a great day !! 💖

hello hello!! i’m doing as well as i can be with the horrible academic load sitting on my shoulders LMAOAOAO :’) yeahh it was very unfortunate but i’m just glad they took the post down 🥲

nooo i’m so sorry to hear that omfg :( i think the enhablr community in general has a problem with feedback. smaus and headcanons/reactions do very well whereas longer written works don’t get as much traction 😕 honestly, though, recently i’m seeing smaus flopping too and i think it’s bc there’s just SO MANY popping up every single day and often it’s the same ideas being recycled over and over again 😭 i’m on both nctblr and enhablr and the feedback is definitely more on the former 🤧 it’s disheartening to see the motivation go down on this side of the kpop community especially since there r so many talented people here ☹️

aaaa i’m not entirely sure how to help u since u said ur fics r showing up in the tags but still not getting traction 💔 have u joined any networks? u’ll get ur fics reblogged that way and even make more friends who’ll hype u up!! getting noticed also depends on luck to an extent. try checking ur blog’s activity to see when ur followers r most active and post at those times so that maximum people see ur content on the dash without having to scroll much!! also self reblog for those who are in a different timezone from urs so they don’t miss out on ur fics 💗 make sure to use the tags with the most following first too!! i’ve heard people say first five tags don’t matter but what’s the harm in believing that they do LOL i p sure the most followed tags are enhypen imagines and enhypen scenarios (along with enhypen smut bc ppl r horny but idk if ur a minor or not 👁️👄👁️) OH AND LAST THING!! maybe try posting teasers for longer works (or even smaus) so that word spreads and you get a bigger audience when you release the actual content!

idk if any of these tips might actually help you but this is what i have picked up during the past two years i’ve been on tumblr 💗 i would like to reiterate that traction depends on luck as well so not all ur fics will do well but please don’t be disheartened! it takes time to be discovered and if u keep creating consistently and heartily, i’m sure u’ll get everything u deserve and more :D

Okay, I've been having a hard time trying to figure this out, but since I'm unable to, the only option I see is ask one of you directly. How do you coordinate events like the Yu-Gi-Oh Rare Pair Weeks? Where are they announced and how are the prompts chosen. I'm wondering about this for quite a while now and hope you are able to help me.

I gotchu fam. Keep in mind that everything below has been a system of trial and error and this is what I find effective.

So first things first, it’s important to know I’m generally an impulsive person so when I get an idea in my head, I wanna do it ASAP. But for fandom events like weeks and whatnot, it can fail pretty badly so now I usually make a post and ask if anyone would be up for such an event - just to gauge interest. I tag it with the show so more people than my followers can see it. And if it has a positive response, then I go ahead with it.

Second thing! Make a side-blog for said event! It will be much easier for people to find the event post and directly ask any questions and read the rules and whatnot. Plus, when you reblogging the events, it’s nice to have it all in one location rather than a jumbled mess.

Thirdly! Now that you have the blog set up, time to find prompts and make the intro post or whatever. I usually just google “one word prompts” and try not to make them too specific where there’s like only one possible answer. The fun part is seeing all the creativity that can arise. Try to give people one prompt per day, multiple per day can be a little over-whelming.

Fourthly, I’d say make some generic rules such as no using other ppls works as your own and no bashing and where to tag so you can find it and so others can find it as well. Also, to keep the focus on whatever the theme of the week is cuz this can and will get derailed.

Fifthly (I don’t like how that sounds lol), I usually attach some kind of eye-catching graphic to announce “HEY THE WEEK I ASKED ABOUT IS HAPPENING!!!” just to catch ppl’s attention cuz a wall of text most likely won’t stop them.

Lastly, omg post it around a month before said planned event. Making shit in advance is nice and a month is enough time to notify ppl and make some shit in advance. Also, try to make sure no other fandom events are happening at the same time cuz one of you is gonna look like a dick and it’s gonna be the one who posted second. Plus, burnout is real and ppl will get tired fast. And after that, just keep reblogging it daily or weekly - you will want to periodically remind people this is happening and ask your friends to spread it around too.

Hopefully that was helpful 😅
