I see people on my dash that are all “what should I do for a follower goal” or “i dont know what to do for my giveaway”, and after brainstorming ideas for my own kind of giveaway, I figured I would share it with the world. So, here’s a bunch of ideas for what RPH/RPC blogs can do for giveaways or follower goals:
Without much effort, you could do:
A follow forever
Promote or recommend a roleplay/roleplayer
Say thank you x10000000
If you make graphics/use PS or a similar program, you could (depending on your expertise):
Manips
Crackships
Make icons of a faceclaim of choice
Offer a theme makeover for any blog of choice
Offer graphics for any blog of choice
Make gifs for faceclaim of choice
Make tutorial for something related to graphics you make
Make PNGs for a faceclaim of choice
Create gradients/PSDs (if you have giveaway winners, you could name them after them).
Create a bio graphic, (dedicated to a giveaway winner, follower, or friend).
Make a texture pack
Here are some non-graphic related ideas:
Playlist based on a theme or idea given by winner
Make a guide
Make a masterlist
Take gif hunt requests for faceclaim of choice
Make a FC pack
Take requests and write plots off of whatever inspiration you get
Make a font pack
Make a photo hunt
And some other out of the box ideas (for those with great skill):
So, maybe you want to start an original kind of dystopian plot, but you aren't sure where to get started and you need a little inspiration, or maybe you just enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction and would like more to watch or read. Due to the fact that I personally fit into both of these categories, I have composed a masterlist of post-apocalyptic/dystopian movies, T.V. shows, and books, all split into different categories. Everything is linked, mostly to wikipedia pages with short descriptions and plot summaries. Please like or reblog if you found this useful- it was something I've been wanting to make.
*Please note that any books turned movie have been put under books, just for organizational purposes. There is a (*) next to any books that were turned into movies, or that are in the process of being turned into a movie. TV Shows that have been developed from books, comics, etc. have (**) next to them to signal that. Also, any franchises that have been developed into movies, shows, books, etc. have been categorized under, from what my understanding is, what they are most known for or began as. If you think that I should add something else or that I’ve categorized something wrong, go ahead and shoot me a message! I’d be happy to add or edit this however. (Note: I've avoided a lot of extremely supernatural/superhero type fiction, just because I feel like that is its own category.)
