Self Insert Info!
If you want to get to know me more, here’s my carrd!
My other self ship blog: @lovinsweethearts
The ship in question: John Doe and my self insert, who is also named Paige!
Disclaimer
When I talk about this ship, I’ll be saying “JD Paige” just so it’s easier for me. (And so I don’t look like I’m referring to myself in the third person)
My blog might involve yandere/yandere like themes as well as obsession in general
A post talking about the dynamic of my self insert ship will be linked as soon as I post it!

If UCV Paige gets into any sort of hobby he’ll take that as a sign to splurge on that hobby. Like if UCV Paige, for example, starts to get into sewing then Doe will come back to their apartment with bags full of sewing books, cloth, string, and even a sewing machine if he’s lucky

I wanted to write out this little post of any general questions about this event. Please give it a read if you're interested in participating! 🧡
What is F/ovember?
F/ovember is an f/o takeover event spanning for the entire month of November, from the 1st to the 30th, where self shippers are encouraged to give their f/os control of their blog for the month.
What's an f/o takeover?
An f/o takeover is a one-person event that used to be pretty popular in the self-ship community, where bloggers give their f/o(s) control of their blog (a.k.a. you essentially get to roleplay as your f/o) and invite their followers to ask their f/o(s) questions, typically about their self ship.
I've never done an f/o takeover before! What are the rules?
That's the beauty of this event; the simplicity! The basic guideline is that your f/o is the one answering questions, but the rest is up to you! That being said, there are two rules that I encourage everyone to follow:
One, if someone sends you an ask, send one back to them if they're participating as well! It's good ask karma and you might make a new friend out of it too!
Two, please do not write your f/o saying mean or hurtful things about you. If it's a lighthearted jab or part of your lore, then thats a slight exception, but they would never say anything genuinely hateful about you, I promise 💝
Do I have to keep up the takeover for the entire month to participate?
Not at all! You're encouraged to have the takeover on your blog for the whole month, of course, but you can do it as long as a week, a weekend, or even just a single day. You can even do it for a week, drop the event, and then pick it back up later in the month if you'd like to!
What if I want to do the takeover with only a few/one of my f/os, or do the takeover with only a certain type of f/o (platonic, familial, etc)?
Then do it!! You're allowed to use as few or as many f/os as you want, and any type of f/o you want! You can even switch which f/o or what type is answering questions from day to day (i.e. having a day/week for all platonic f/os).
Who is running/moderating this event? Who is allowed to join? How can I sign up?
I came up with the event idea on my own (my name's Ruby if you don't know me, hi :3), so I suppose that technically makes me its sole moderator, but that is only in the most loose of terms. This is being held on each person's individual blog, so there is no type of sign-up process required! However, that also means there's not much I can do against someone joining other than blocking them and advising others to do the same.
That being said, I would appreciate if anyone who matches my DNI section of my Carrd, especially pr*shippers and c*mshippers, does not interact with this event or use the tags for it either. This is event is not for you.
I am a pr*shipper and I'm gonna interact and do the event anyway! You can't stop people from just using a tag!
Okay. Have fun on the blocklist, freak :)
No one is sending me any asks! I feel left out :(
I'm really sorry to hear that. While there's no solid way to guarantee asks in your inbox, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances. You can try making a promo post for your takeover, and be sure to tag all your posts related to it with "f/ovember", as well as other tags like "f/o takeover", "fovember", and "self ship community" so people who frequent those tags can see it. You can also try sending asks out to other self shippers who are doing a takeover, as they're likely to send one back. In addition to that, I'll be trying to send an ask to everyone participating, so if I missed you then please do not be afraid to send me a quick message about it!
Are you participating with an f/o takeover as well?
Yes, I am! I'll be trying to run my takeover for the entire month with all of my f/os available to answer questions!
I have a question that wasn't answered here, or need some more clarification on something!
No problem, friend! My inbox is always open for any inquiries you may have about this event or takeovers in general!
