I know I said the last announcement was the final one, but I lied. This is the last one xD
Bascially, I want to remind you that you are welcome to write your own blog posts on the ShanniiWrites Website! This will help you if you need proof that you write for blogs (if you want a blogging career in the future). Plus, if you want exposure from that, too!
Here are the instructions:
Create an account on the ShanniiWrites Website
Fill in the profile! Add as much detail as you can, including social media that people can follow you on.
Press “Write” in the top menu.
Write a blog post.
Include featured art for the blog post (go to the little editing button – the square with the pen in it on the right of “preview”.
Add categories and tags.
Submit for review!
If it fits the theme of the ShanniiWrites Website, I will allow it to go on the main page! Otherwise, I will just check to make sure that the post is pg-13 and it can go on your personal profile page.
The things I look for on the main page:
Writing Tips
Suggestions for new stories
Episode directing tips
Diversity information
How to write about specific minority groups
Story tropes
Reviews of stories
How to market a story
How to get more reads
Analysis of films, TV shows, anime, manga, books, etc
This is just a guide! Anything that you think is linked to these topics will probably be ok!
I would also like to remind you that each user has their own feed! Please feel free to update your feed when you have a new chapter of your story on another platform! Include a link! I wanna turn the ShanniiWrites Website into a place that supports all of our resident creators! Whether you’re an artist or a writer!
Of course, the posts have to be good quality and not copying anything that’s already there! That means good spelling, no misinformation/disinformation, one link to another post, one link to another website! No copyright infringement! If you want to quote another writer, make sure you use quotation marks and then link the source!
Also, posts should be at least 300 words! And make sure you add headings Google likes it when there is a heading every 300 words max.
I will not post anything containing hate speech or demonising a minority group.
Ok. So, I have it myself, what if I don’t link a website because I already know all the Information? (I’m still going to use a website, I’m just curious if we have to.)
Linking other websites is more to show you can back up what you’re saying, rather than research for you. It’s more like “I know because this credible website says so, too!” Also, you can use it if you use a random term in passing. For example, in one of my blog posts, I mentioned the Dunning-Krueger effect. Rather than go off-topic to explain what that means, I just highlighted the words “Dunning-Krueger effect” and created a link to a website that explains it better. Linking shows people that you can be trusted!
Also, if you say something like “trans women are more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators”, you’d wanna link a study to show that you’re right
Maybe some of the @Artists might even want to produce trigger warning backgrounds for Episode Stories , RPs on here and such? I can give them permission to add docs!
