WWC Ask Rules (ASKS CURRENTLY CLOSED)
Do not ask…
General writing questions.
As in writing q’s that have nothing to do with BIPOC or only deal tangentially with them.
Questions that are very broad or vague.
For example “how do I write a Black character?“ or variations of this question. See the FAQ and our WWC General Topics Compilation
Questions that ask for facts you can easily Google.
Need help using Google? Check out: Writing Research and Google Search Tips
Questions that seek our permission or approval to write about a topic.
We call these rubber stamp questions. Asks designed to solicit simple approval are time consuming and difficult to answer.
Further explanation on rubber stamp asks, what they are, and how to fix them:
No Longer Accepting Rubber Stamp Questions
Questions that ask us for resources.
“Do you have resources for–” STOP! We will not do your research for you.
Please don’t use WWC to point you towards references. We are not here to be your Google. Specific questions that arise within your research is one thing, asking us to spoon-feed you where to do your research is another thing entirely.
- WWC Research Tags: Research | Writer Reference - How to research your racially/ethnically diverse characters - guide - WWC How to Research Compilation - WWC Recommendations and Resources
Questions using “PoC” as a replacement for an applicable race.
Person/Woman/Man of Color is not a fancy way to say Black people; It’s an umbrella term for a coalition including a lot of different races/ethnicities. If your question isn’t specific it’s 1) difficult to answer and 2) generates a general and not as helpful response
Questions that indicate you have not browsed WWC thoroughly if at all.
If you start off by saying “sorry if this has been asked before” or “this may already be answered but-” You’re telling us you haven’t checked. These Q’s are grounds for automatic deletion.
Questions that ignore our ask submission guidelines.
- Use “ask” for questions that are 2 parts. If a question is longer than 2 parts, use submit. - We also request that you don’t send writing questions via fanmail.
Questions that have nothing to do with writing.
We are a writing advice blog. We consider questions seeking our perspective on current events or controversies to be off topic. We will only answer these sort of questions at our own leisure (or if we find them helpful for others to answer).
Banned questions (due to excessive discussion or other reasons, explained within the links)
questions about Muslim characters + magic. Here is why.
questions about the Wendigo. Here is why.
questions about Asian women (and Asian characters in general) with colored hair / colored streaks in their hair. Here is why
questions that ask for a rubber stamp of approval. Explanation
Additional Guidelines
Submit your question properly
Use “ask” for questions that are 1-2 parts.
If a question is longer than 2 parts, use submit.
No fanmail writing Q’s (Fanmail for general commentary is fine)
Please read below the cut for instructions on how to be anonymous
Ask questions we haven’t covered at length
We will not answer Q’s that are too similar to ones we’ve already answered (Check the navigation and/or our multiple search functions very thoroughly). We will not often redirect you to the answer. This is not the same as having a follow-up question about an existing guide or discussion. Go ahead and ask. We’d be happy to clarify!
Provide All Relevant Details | We Are Not Mind Readers
Please provide all racial demographics of all characters involved. Our responses will change depending on the race of the characters involved, and if we are not provided race, we will assume parts of the demographics (just to make the question answerable) which leads to further problems down the line
Keep asks focused: Avoid providing a laundry list of multiple characters that you want rubber-stamped for correct characterization. Ask about a specific character or situation. You’ll get a more detailed answer on that specific character/situation that way.
Don’t expect an instant response to your question
Have patience with us!
We receive hundreds of asks. It takes time.
Also, it’s impossible for us to answer every question we get.
We will prioritize questions that are on fresh topics not covered extensively here before.
Please stop asking us to recommend blogs that are…
…like WWC except for disability, lgbtqa+ etc. We have answered this already. Check our recommendations page!
Slur policy
Finally, we urge you not to send in questions with racial slurs that aren’t blocked out or denoted as “n word” “g word” etc. We may choose to delete uncensored slurs (and any other blatantly offensive Q’s) as to avoid triggering ourselves and/or others.
Frequently Asked Questions
“What are ways to describe my character’s skin tone?”
“What about hair?”
“How do I introduce the race of my characters?”
“How do I denote the race of my characters in a fantasy setting?”
“How do I describe my Asian character’s eyes respectfully?”
“I want my real-world Native American character to do/experience X.”
“I’m afraid my character has harmful stereotypical traits.”
“How do I write a ____________ character?”
“Wouldn’t including PoC make my writing forced?”
“It wouldn’t be historically accurate for my story to include PoC.”
“What is Cultural Appropriation?”
“What is tokenism and why is it harmful?”

This blog is so chaotic, but I cannot stand for making a 7th side blog. I have to embrace it. Just don't scroll down.

Re-downloading tumblr was not on my 2022 bingo card.
11 MARCH 2022
Found Season 2 will be posting from Friday 11th March, every Friday and Wednesday. As in Season 1, there are 11 episodes. I don’t have @siriussly-serious gifs, so all of Seraphine’s lines and some other gifs will be substituted with text. There will be no further seasons, but there may be more to the story in a different format.
Missed Season One or just need a refresher? Check it out here.

Jay’s Farewell Livestream Friday 25th June 2021 - 6 pm BST (1pm EST)
On 15th May 2021, @siriussly-serious chose to go home.
On the morning of 25th June, his family will hold a private, family-only cremation.
At 6 pm BST on 25th June, we will hold a Farewell for him on YouTube.
Here is the link to the livestream: https://youtu.be/5KSQrdIxUmU
Due to the short notice, it won’t be the grand affair I’d like it to be, but we’ll do our best. The stream will mostly be pre-written eulogies and memories but we hope to have a moment where we can include some stories from the comments.
We’re also raising donations in his name for Chrysalis - Gender Identity Matters and Raze Collective. Chrysalis - GIM offer online and in-person mental health support for trans and nonbinary people in the area where he lived. Raze Collective support LGBTQIA+ performers which is more needed than ever given the events of the last year+.
Donate to Chrysalis - GIM here.
Donate to Raze Collective here.

I will update this post with information on making charitable donations in Jay’s name, for anyone who would like to, but we’re still whittling down the list at the moment. We have a few British trans and mental health charities shortlisted and may do a Just Giving or something to split the pot.

There is a wider archive being collected for @siriussly-serious (which you can read about here) but because of the nature of gif RP and Tumblr, I’ve also created a way for us to share our favourite posts and memories of Jay in one place.
So the idea is that I’ve made a Google Doc which contains links to a number of Jay’s posts. The title of each post has a comment thread attached to it. You can click the title or click the comment thread on the right to add your own comment about that particular post. You can copy in your original tags, write a story about the impact it had on you, or just share how it made you feel. No thought is too big or too small, but do bare in mind that anyone can see this. Also please note that when you comment, it will display the full name of the account you are logged in as. Due to this, if you wish to comment under a different name or anonymously, you can dm me or drop in my ask box.
This Google Doc is a work in progress, but that’s because I need you guys to help me complete it. If Jay’s blog has a tagging system, I don’t understand it so it’s hard to find what I’m looking for. I’ve started going through the blog systematically, but that’s going to take a while so I’m hoping that enough of us can search our own tags for reblogs to find what we want. There’s not many posts on there at the moment, so if you have one you want added, please send me the link and I’ll put it in.
So here’s the link to the Memories and Stuff Google Doc:

he says this as a joke but this is literally the way my brain works i have never felt so understood in my life
Dance it UP Fam!
With absolutely 100% credit to Jay @siriussly-serious for instigating this Community Positivity Dance Party, and having had the additions die down a bit, I wanted to compile a post with everybody who added gifs dancing (cause there were so many spread out and hell, my dudes, this is a dance party!) Anyways, I love you nerds, you brought a lot of happiness to my day!
