Whenever someone gets an ask that’s like “Hi, I can solve all your problems with no consequences. you just have to have me be an important part of the story” It sucks. Because they have no interest in your blog, they just want free publicity.

I mean, come one people. When you attempt to force yourself on someone elses blog, a blog which they most likely already have quite a few arcs already planned, you’re being incredibly selfish. Listen, I get it, you think that you can do better because you will bring some deus ex machina BS in but you’re not considering how offended the blogger will be when they read that.

What even is the thought process? FFS, some stupid deus ex machina would only end the blog sooner and then what would the people who actually care for the blog feel?

Whenever you send an ask to a blogger, first ask yourself this. “How will this effect the blog?”

If it’s just pointing them in the general direction or asking them to go in depth about the problem, then you should send it.

If it’s going to completely end the blog or put the story in a direction it wasn’t already headed, then don’t send it.

It’s not rocket surgery.
