I try not to leave meta-commentary on running this blog too often, but as I'm sure everyone here is aware the new update to how notes work makes the exchange a lot harder to run and moderate. I keep up to date on my notes, especially on submitted exchanges, in order to make sure every post gets the visibility and love it deserves (yes, that means I read tags. Everyone has had very nice things to say about posts!). The new update makes it much harder for me to do so.

I also worry that it will have a chilling effect on submissions -- who wants to submit pictures of their own hard work just for a handful of likes and reblogs? The exchange isn't a big enough blog (yet!) for a single post to generate engagement on its own.

The community built here will continue as always, but I'm only one busy person so I can't be everywhere unfortunately. Hopefully the update is rolled back and reworked, maybe with more user input this time!

Can't believe it's been four months since I started this blog but tst/lucrezia/etcetc still thinks that I am chanafehs. Idk if this is more pathethic or hilarious, but the last time I saw someone this obssesed it ended up with them being arrested 🍿

May I ask you how do you manifest like can you teach me with details?

I'm really sorry, I'm probably not the best person to ask this. I wish I could help you better, but I'm coming up on four years of being a manifester, and I have never successfully manifested anything I've truly wanted. Only a few small things, often after a long time and great effort. I'm really struggling right now.

Subliminals and affirming are things I've tried, though.

wait how would you update a post in this reality once youve respawned into another?

I am limitless. I make the rules. I can do whatever I want.

ADVICE FOR CREATING ADS AND MAKING MODLIFE EASIER

These are not rules to follow in order to send an ask on this blog, but following this format would go a long way towards making running this blog easier for the mods and finding you the people you want to write with.

Your ad should include at least some of the following: -Your age + age range (this is required) -What you prefer to be called -Timezone & Availability -Preferred genres -Preferred pairings -Brief summary of plots, ideas, characters

Put relevant information as close to the start as you can and use commas to seperate items in a list. -Any fandoms, genres, ages, goals, etc. should be accessible with a brief skim. Seperate lists with a comma (,) for easier tagging.

Do not overcomplicate the formatting in your ad -This is not the place to show off your aesthetic. Keep formatting simple and clear.

Be specific! -People are less likely to take chances on posts that are not clear about what they want. "Someone to fiddle and fart around with" is less likely to get replies than "25+ nb looking for 20+ long term, fluffy romance."

Keep your post short and sweet! -Longer posts are less likely to be read+replied to because they make finding relevant and complatible information more difficult to parse. We all have a history of dealing with different types of writers, you don't have to tell us about it in your ad.

Avoid putting your discord handle in your ad. -This is more a safety thing. This is a front-facing blog and it'll help cut down on any spam you recieve from bots. Consider sharing your tumblr before moving to apps.

If you have any additional advice or questions about your ad, feel free to message the mods! Happy writing :)

Unless folks submit pictures of finished trades to me (and not doing so is very understandable), I don't often see whether matches happen and are successful! Feel free to share stories below, and I'm very happy to take feedback on other ways to help out :)
