#ask bait

Over the last couple of months I’ve seen a lot of posts from my fellow fanfic writers discouraged by the lack of interaction on their stories. 🥺 Fanwork is all about blossoming interactions in a community, so I decided to create a little spring themed event to spread some love and support around! 🫶🏼

I took inspiration from the wonderful @navybrat817’s appreciation event from last October and came up with my own flower version for spring! 🥰 I know interacting can seem intimidating sometimes, but from personal experience I can tell you just a small token of appreciation can mean the world to someone. 🩷 Below you’ll find inbox ask/reblog prompts to hopefully inspire you to show appreciation to your favorite writers! ✨

Let’s give our writers the flowers they deserve! 💐🩷

🌷 - Send a compliment to your favorite writer(s)! Anything goes! It could be about their writing, them as a person, their blog, etc.

🌹 - Tell a writer which fic(s) of theirs stuck with you the most or ask them which fic of theirs they think about the most.

🪻- Ask a writer which scene they wrote is their favorite and why! Or share your favorite scene they wrote with them and tell them why!

🌺 - Reblog some of your favorite fics (even if you have reblogged it before) to show our favorite works some extra love! Bonus points if you leave comments!!

🌸 - Ask a writer to provide some behind the scenes commentary on a fic of your choosing!

🌼 - Ask a writer to share who their favorite writers are or ask them to share what their favorite fics they’ve read are!

🪷 - Spring means new beginnings, so let’s try something new! If you’ve never sent an ask before, send one! If you’ve never reblogged a fic before, do it now! If there’s a writer whose work you haven’t read before, go read and interact with it! Take the first step in doing something new this spring and see what blossoms from it!

🌻 - Ask a writer anything about their wips in anyway you’d like! Maybe you’d like to ask them to describe their wip in three words, or provide a snippet, or share the last sentence they wrote, etc.

💐 - Free for all bouquet to show whatever kind of love, support, appreciation, etc you’d like to show your favorite writer(s)!

This is an ask blog for an alter. Specifically, an alter sourced from Iron Lung, an Simon/Convict fictive. [ This is also sort of like an RP blog.. just for funsies... so both a fictive blog, and partially RP..? ]

Please be nice, don't be weird, and I'm sure we'll have a nice conversation.

Ask anything! Within reason. I'm very attatched to source. All my memories come from the movie I'm from, so feel free to ask anything regarding the movie. This also means this blog can contain heavy spoilers, so view at your own risk.

You have been warned.

Extra warning: if someone starts speaking in green, it's Anti. Ignore him.

Wilford and Dark might make their appearances as well.
