FORMATTING TIP FROM A SEASONED FIC WRITER

Dear new tumblr writers, I have an important formatting tip for you. It's an absolute must if you don’t want people to hate you, and that is to use the read more function.

Now, you may be asking yourself, what on earth is the read more function? Well, it's simple. Using this feature will create a line that hides everything below it with the text keep reading. Essentially, it's a way to shorten your post, so people don't have to scroll through a wall of text to get to the next post. It makes browsing tags a more pleasant experience. If you click the blue keep reading, the rest of your fic will appear. I've attached an example from one of my own fics below, so you know what it looks like.

The next question you may be asking yourself is how to create it. It hasn't always been easy, especially on mobile and the app, but there's a specific button for it these days. On the app, when you're writing a post, it’s always present at the bottom (pic 1 below) while on desktop, you have to jump to a new empty line/paragraph for the options to appear (pic 2 below), but the symbol is the same.

If you use this feature, more people are likely going to read your fic. Some people will not read your fic out of spite if you don't use this function, myself included. It sounds petty because it is. I recommend adding it after about 250-300 words, but do what feels right.

Happy writing!

I know it's been talked about before but I still don't think it's been emphasized how *fucked* today's internet experience is for children. I didn't know what the word "discourse" was when I was 8, or 10, or even 13. I was too busy playing the nigh-limitless amount of flash games out there on the internet and making sure my neopets were fed. Like I cannot stress enough that if I had free time on the computer, 9 times out of 10 I could go and play a jaunty little game someone had whipped up and put out there for no other reason than that creating games was awesome and easy to do. Or go to some page that existed just to collect memes; you see back then there were more than 4 sites, and you didn't need accounts to visit them. I didn't get targeted ads. I wasn't exposed to any sort of political ideology. I spent a lot of time on the computer but no one site monopolized my time or tried to fucking manipulate me into using it more. The internet was for more than one thing back then, and honestly I don't think enough people realize how much has been stolen from us.
