FAQ, Ask, and Submit
I’m not trying to be rude and I hate feeling like I’m ignoring people, but aside from not having the time to answer all of the questions I get, I really just hate how having a ton of redundantly Anonymous Asks clutter the aesthetics of my blog.
I’m more likely to answer a message which I can reply privately too, but please read through these before asking any questions, because I think this covers about 90% of the messages I get. :-)
Will you follow me/ reblog my graphic/ promo me to your followers?
No, I probably will not. Again, I’m not trying to be rude and I apologize if that’s how it comes across, but I’m very, very particular about what I look for in people I follow and what I like to see on my Dash. In addition, I do make a point to read through my whole Dash every day, so I need to keep the number of blogs I follow pretty low.
I’m also really not comfortable with people messaging me just to ask me to promo or reblog something. It rather makes me feel like I’m being used.
I’ve been away for awhile, what did I miss?
I tag all the new, important, and/or interesting stuff with “purple” (because if it’s purple, it’s important. ;-)) You can catch-up on everything Darren/Chris/Klaine related by just checking out that tag.
You can also go straight to the latest videos, spoilers, downloads, or audio posts.
What video did that gif come from?
If I’ve seen the video on my Dash, then I’ll have reblogged it to my video tag. If you can’t find it there, then you should ask the OP because I probably have no idea either.
Do you have a download link for that video?
Unless I posted the video myself, I don’t have a download link. You should either ask the video’s OP or download it on your own.
You can use KeepVid for all YouTube videos, and there is a FireFox extension called DownloadHelper that works for anything that’s not encrypted. You can use it to download files from YouTube, Tumblr, Vimeo, and a whole host of other places. If you don’t have or don’t want FireFox, then try downloading a separate program like Orbit, which does the same thing. :-)
I have a question about Tumblr!
I have a tag for that! If you can’t find your answer there, then feel free to ask, but I’m not an expert so I can’t guarantee that I’ll have an answer.
Do you know any good fanfic?
I have a tag for that! It’s mostly smut but there’s some funny fluff in there as well.
I’m allergic to angst, though, so if that’s what you’re looking for you’re better off asking someone else. I also have an (extremely outdated) smut rec page, if there’s something in particular you’re looking for.
Do you have a livestream link?
I have a tag for that! I rarely use livestreams myself, though, so I can’t recommend which one is best. I honestly just reblog them to avoid being asked this question.
What does ______ mean? Who is _____? How do I _____?
Google, Wikipedia, UrbanDictionary and Fanlore are your friends.
I’m more than happy to answer questions or explain things when I am able, but if it’s an answer that can be found with just a quick search of any of these sites, then I’m probably going to let you research that yourself. :-)
