ME's Blogospherical Device: the Idea · 12:12am Mar 6th, 2012
An Experiment:
Well, since I don't really have anything much else to do and I'm slowly waiting for just the right amount of tiredness to let me sleep, I thought I might start something. The gist of it is that, every now and then, I'll write a little blog post. It'll be about all things; my opinions on fanfiction stories, the fandom, writing and many other things. Perhaps even some things entirely unrelated to My Little Pony.
Since I love reader-writer interaction, I'll also probably be receiving and answering questions (cause that's what people do, right?), setting up polls and maybe even holding competitions. These competitions might not get you prizes like money or physical things, but I'll probably do my best to reward whoever wins. Categories would range from all topics, as said in the previous paragraph, and vary each post. I might be in one of those moods to rant about something petty and you might find my opinions so rage-inducing it would make you want to set fire to your laptop. Alternatively, I may make you reach an epiphany and you'll bow down and worship me like the cyber-pope that I am.
Is this something that would sit right with any of you? Would anyone pay attention? I don't really mind because it'll be something for when I'm bored and lacking motivation to actually write for Night's Favoured Child or anything else.
Some suggestions for categories (feel free to suggest some yourselves):
Fanfic review/plug - Where I take an MLP story from this site or another and link it and give my thoughts and opinions about it. They'll probably be baseless and highly opinionated, but whatever. I'll also probably be taking some under-viewed story and try and give it some extra publicity and circulation. This'll probably be a big part of the blog.
Competitions - Where I hold competitions and try and reward them to the best of my ability (which isn't much, I'm telling you now). These would range from art, to stories and other things. They wouldn't even have to be creations related to my own fiction.
Polls - Where I put up wacky, random or very, very serious polls to gauge my followers' feelings on... stuff.
Rants/diatribes/opinions/whoisbestpony - Where I talk about the show, its fandom, the world etc. Basic blogging stuff. Once again, this'll likely be a large chunk of the blog.
As always, feedback on my crazy ideas is welcome.
Actually, this sounds like a pretty neat idea. I think I'd be looking forward to some of those things.
Go nuts, I'm all for interesting things.
sounds good.
sounds cool, especially the part about underrated fics getting attention.
I've read some great ones that arn't too known. God help me if i remember their names though.
Helping underviewed works sounds great, especially since those that do not get featured here or put up on EqD tend to not get much notice.
