Let the games begin.

Well. Well, well, well, well, well. It’s here. The day has finally come. We’ve enjoyed witnessing you set dashboards ablaze the world over with your fandom hot takes, your cats, your dragon art, your recipe polls, your incorrect quotes, your Barbie memes. (But, really, mostly your cats.)

Starting April 20, you will be able to Blaze each other’s posts: You’ll be able to scroll through your dash and see a post that tickles you, and then make thousands of complete strangers see that post also. 

We made this for fun, but you remain in charge of your stuff. So here are some important details:

  • Blog-level settings: All blogs will be set to Blazable by default in your blog settings. We’re giving you this heads-up so you can toggle Blaze off on any blog you don’t want people to Blaze posts from (quick link for web). Remember to do so for any secondaries you might want to keep Blaze-free.

  • Post-level settings: These override your blog-level Blaze settings. You can enable Blaze in the post editor—before or after posting—via the cog (web) or the meatball menu (mobile), regardless of your blog’s Blaze settings. Any posts you previously disabled reblogs on will remain unsharable via Blaze. Unless, of course, you edit the post to enable Blaze.

  • Real humans moderate all posts being Blazed before they go out. If something’s fishy or seems like it might be harmful, it won’t go through.
  • When someone Blazes your post, you will receive an email, push notification, and/or activity item (depending on your settings). 
  • You can cancel the Blazing of your post before it happens—or extinguish a post that is already being Blazed—either by responding to the aforementioned notification, or via the “Active” tab in your Blaze interface
  • We will only accept posts that comply with our global advertising guidelines. Interested in advertising directly? Find out more here.
  • Here are some FAQs.

So that’s it, really. Be nice! Have fun! 

And, as always, if you want to get in touch, drop us a line on @wip or Support, and keep an eye out for more updates on @changes.

kind of wanna reinforce this here. because i’ve seen ai writing become so popular on tik tok.

ai writing is not okay.

it’s literally theft. just like how ai art steals, ai writing steals. it’s using authors’ very real work to generate whatever you type in. and this also needs to be said as well.

writing is a form of art. fanfiction is a form of literature.

seeing this all over my fyp is REALLY discouraging. fanfic itself is already a labor of love and we love it when you interact. but please do not use ai writing for your fanfic needs when this writing literally steals from fanfic authors.

genuinely don’t know if this post will go around because my interactions outside of hcs are shit, but i hope it does.

You’re not truly a writer until you tell yourself “its just gonna be one book” which turns into three and then an entire universe

Best of luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo! I am rooting for your success! You got this! Remember that you are only competing with yourself. You are a talented, unstoppable, immovable force. Remember to pace yourself and take breaks. Reward yourself as often as you can. You are not a failure if you don’t reach your goal. The fact that you tried, even if you manage a couple hundred words, is enough. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

You probably hear a lot of “DON’T EDIT AS YOU WRITE” advice, don’t you? 😬

This is a dangerously vague piece of advice and one that’s often taken too literally. Here’s a quick breakdown of edits that are actually GOOD during writing.
