Hi! You’re one of my favourite blogs and a really good writer, so I thought I’d ask you this! I’ve been wanting to make a Diabolik Lovers headcanon/writing blog for awhile, but I’m a bit scared to. The fandom on here isn’t always the best either. Do you have any tips for anyone who wants to make a writing blog?

Admin Mawile:ヾ(・◇・)ﾉ Sure thing! And please tell me if/when you make it; I’d be happy to promo you!!!

-Yes, the fandom is terrible. The best way to avoid the worst of it is to be strict with your rules, don’t let people get away with being mean to you/breaking said rules, and making it very clear that hate will not stop you. If the anons know that messing with you won’t get them anywhere, they won’t bother. Delete and block rude people, anon or not, and ignore/laugh off anyone who tries to get at you. 

-Decide whether you want to cater to what’s popular or do your own thing. Both have their merits, and it’s all about what’s more fun for you. Don’t be afraid to go with a unique blog idea. Like our Aus, new things in a fandom are always welcome. If you’d rather go along with the trends, that’s fine too. You’ll get a lot of fans quickly that way, and it can be fun to keep up with the various fandom interests. Either way, do what makes you happy. 

-Depending on how you write, set up a way of managing asks that works for you. Some people keep the ask open and only answer what they can, some people have a set limit of asks before they close the box and don’t open it until they’re all answered, some people queue things neatly and keep to a perfect schedule of posts. It’s all up to you and how you write. Don’t be afraid of managing things in a way that you can handle, and don’t hesitate to close the ask for a bit if you feel overwhelmed.
