Odds are you are now that author’s favourite reader and they have you specifically in mind when they write because they’re looking forward to your reaction to it 😀
At least, that’s how it goes for me.
If you are THIS reader, I can promise you, i smile every time I see your user name, and I consider you a friend. You can just ask my tumblr girls, and they’ll tell you this true.
Now that Tumblr has completely fucked most people with killing their links (if you put any link, even one that directs back to a Tumblr post, it no longer shows in the search engine), it’s on YOU, the consumer, to make sure things get noticed. By that I mean, if you LIKE something and you don’t reblog it, that’s right, that’s less chance of it getting seen. When a post does poorly, the creator will eventually stop creating. This goes for gifs, icons, headers, writing, art, you name it. Creators will eventually stop. So, you LIKE something, click that little reblog button. Click the queue option. If you want to keep seeing your favorite creators, it’s up to YOU to make sure their posts actually get seen.
And, before anyone wants to pipe up, one person DOES make a difference. If you’re reading this thinking “oh, someone else will reblog, I don’t have to!”. Well, no. You’re wrong because if YOU’RE thinking that, many other people are as well which means, no the post will not be seen and the creator stops creating (or at least publishing for your unpaid consumption).
The post doesn’t match your blog aesthetic? Make a new blog. You don’t have to maintain it. Just click the reblog button and it’ll STILL help get the creators some form of recognition.
If you like seeing creations from creators, then help them out and hit the damn reblog button.
So… you on here are my special friends, and this website allows me to let out my ‘naughty’ side (thank god for oblivious husbands and the excuse of ‘writers platforms’, right?). You’re aware of my erotic poems and my smutty fanfics and collaborations. And because of that, I’m confessing something on here that I am not sharing on Facebook or Twitter. *bites nails, clears throat, announces this squeakily and runs for the woods*
I have an author alter ego who writes erotic paranormal and contemporary romance. Her/my name is Gisela Grey, and you can connect with me here if you enjoy sizzling stories with curvy, strong women and sexy alpha males:
A few of my close author friends already knew. Thank you for your support, girls! For all others: Feel free to share and connect, buy or chat, but please don’t mention my steamy pseudonym in connection with my real name anywhere apart from Tumblr.
