So, this shouldn't be anything entirely new, you've all been around when this blog has done anonymous confessions and things like it, right? If not and you have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about, you can see examples by clicking right here.
Well, I've decided to bring the confessions feature back and this time it's permanent. However, there are definitely a few ground rules and boundaries to make sure that:
You can tell the difference between whether it's a confession you're sending in or regular gossip, in which you get an opinion from us.
You don't cross the line and send in something that violates the blogs rules. If this does occur, your opinion/gossip/confession will not be posted and deleted straight away.
Ok, so what's the difference between confessions and the gossip that's sent into the fan blog already?
- Basically, confessions are more along the lines of statements, things that you might be dying to say yet the fans can't really comment on it. Here are a few examples of what a confession might look like:
I think [celebrity A] is adorable
I wish I wasn't so argumentative all the time.
If [celebrity A] knew what I knew about [celebrity B] they'd die...
They're basically IC thoughts you're having that can't really be responded to by anybody else, yet it's still worth putting them out there. This leads me on nicely to my next point. They are IC THOUGHTS by no means should there be any kind of confessions submitted that could be deemed as OOC or taken offensively by the characters writer rather than just their character. Here are some examples of what we will refuse to post:
[celebrity] is so irrelevant.
I really don't like the way [celebrity] is written.
I wish I could kick [celebrity] out of Hollywood.
You see the difference, right? Ultimately, this feature has been added to create more variety on the blog as well as spark up some drama since characters can react to things that've been said to them anywhere on this blog, which everybody does perfectly with gossip - confessions are no different. Here are just a few more pointers about the confessions:
They must be anonymous, there's no point in revealing your identity because you might as well just say it in a gif chat or on Twitter and start a plot from it that way.
Confessions on this blog will be tagged with 'confessionwyr' along with your characters name and the first initial of their last name, for example 'piperg', 'lolitaj', 'rexs'.
If you are choosing to make a confession make sure you post it in the ask as "Confession: [followed by what you want to say]". It will help us tell the difference between confessions and general gossip.
Have fun with it and try to post the confessions as your character rather than just your general opinions on characters/plots/ships etc. It makes it more interesting!
So, are you feeling brave enough to say something that's been on your mind for a while? Who's going to be the first to break the ice? If you're feeling up to it, come and send in your confessions right here. What do you have to lose?
