A GUIDE TO REQUESTING, FOR DUMMIES! Since, I've seen people hurt by requests...
YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, but you're COMING OFF DEMANDING and RUDE, so everyone LET'S FIX YOUR ASKS !!
WRONG ❌ Character with a ___ s/o? (Prompt) + Character This ____ with Character!
❌ DO NOT just add pls at the end of your request, like seriously.
TRY ADDING ! ✅ - Hey congrats on your (Insert milestone)! - May I request? - Could I request? - If your event is still open, can I request - Hello! Hope you had a good day! - Hello (Insert writer name) ! Hope you had a good day, could I request?
Just a greeting in general, it does much more then you think.
DO'S ✅
Greet the writer
Be polite
Use the word please, ffs !
If you like their content, compliment them!
Congratulate them, if it's a milestone event.
DONT'S ❌
Don't send an ask with nothing put the prompt and character & do not send an ask with just your request, it makes you sound like you expect the writer to write it. And comes off slightly demanding.
Do not do the above and just add pls in the end, sure you made an effort. But it's not really a good ask, and can come off rude in certain times.
✅ EXAMPLE'S OF A GOOD ASK!
"Hey love your content, could I request character with a ___ s/o!"
"Congrats on ___ followers, love your blog it's so cute! Can I request ____, please!"
"If your requests are open, could I request ___ with a ___ partner !"
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR ASKS SOUND POLITE, DO NOT DISCOURAGE FELLOW FIC WRITERS BY MAKING IMPOLITE/DEMANDING ASKS !! Remember, if your polite and then writers will be more inclined to writing for you, and if your not they can burn out and stop providing content to you and the fandom.
