i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

Unlocking the Power of Top-Quality SEO Blog Comment Backlinks

In the ever-evolving landscape of search engine optimization (SEO), backlinks remain a cornerstone of successful strategies. While many focus on high-profile link-building techniques, there’s one often-underutilized approach that can significantly impact your SEO: blog comment backlinks. When done correctly, these can be a valuable addition to your backlink profile, enhancing your site’s authority and visibility. Let’s dive into how to harness the power of blog comment backlinks effectively.

Understanding Blog Comment Backlinks

Before delving into strategies, it's crucial to understand what blog comment backlinks are. Essentially, these are links that you place within the comments section of relevant blogs. When done thoughtfully, they can drive traffic to your site and improve your search engine rankings. However, this technique has evolved, and its effectiveness depends on quality and relevance rather than sheer volume.

The Benefits of Blog Comment Backlinks

Enhanced Visibility: Engaging with high-traffic blogs related to your niche can expose your brand to a broader audience. When users see your insightful comments, they may visit your site out of curiosity, leading to increased traffic.

Improved SEO: Search engines value backlinks from reputable sites. A well-placed comment on a high-quality blog can contribute to your site’s domain authority and overall SEO performance.

Relationship Building: Leaving thoughtful comments can establish connections with blog authors and other readers. These relationships can open doors for further collaborations and networking opportunities.

Niche Relevance: By commenting on blogs within your industry, you ensure that your backlinks come from relevant sources, which is crucial for search engine algorithms that prioritize relevance and context.

Crafting Effective Blog Comments To leverage blog comment backlinks effectively, follow these best practices:

Choose the Right Blogs Not all blogs are created equal. Focus on blogs that are:

Relevant to Your Industry: Ensure the blog content aligns with your niche or the topics you cover. This relevance helps in reaching the right audience and boosts your backlink’s effectiveness.

High Authority: Look for blogs with high domain authority. Tools like Moz’s Domain Authority (DA) or Ahrefs’ Domain Rating (DR) can help gauge this.

Engaged Audience: Choose blogs with active comment sections. An engaged audience is more likely to notice and interact with your comment.

Craft Thoughtful Comments Your comments should add value to the conversation. Avoid generic responses; instead:

Be Relevant: Address the blog post’s content specifically. Mention details or insights that show you’ve read and understood the post.

Be Insightful: Provide additional information, share your perspective, or ask thoughtful questions. Valuable contributions are more likely to get noticed and approved.

Avoid Spammy Behavior: Steer clear of comments that are purely promotional or include excessive links. This behavior can lead to your comment being marked as spam.

Include a Relevant Link When including a link to your site:

Be Strategic: Link to a relevant page on your site that complements the blog post. Avoid linking to irrelevant pages or your homepage unless it adds genuine value.

Use Anchor Text Wisely: While you might not always have control over the anchor text (since many comment systems use the comment author’s name), ensure it is relevant and aligns with the content.

Don’t Overdo It: Limit the number of links in each comment. Excessive linking can be perceived as spam and might result in your comments being deleted.

Monitor and Engage Once you’ve left comments, monitor them regularly:

Respond to Replies: If other readers or the blog author reply to your comment, engage with them. This interaction can foster relationships and further increase visibility.

Track Backlinks: Use SEO tools to track the effectiveness of your blog comment backlinks. Analyze referral traffic and see how they impact your site’s SEO metrics.

Pitfalls to Avoid

Avoid Low-Quality Blogs: Commenting on blogs with low authority or irrelevant content can hurt your SEO. Always prioritize quality over quantity.

Don’t Spam: Repeatedly posting comments with links to your site can lead to penalties. Ensure each comment is unique and provides value.

Be Cautious of NoFollow Links: While nofollow links do not directly contribute to SEO, they can still drive traffic and build relationships. However, prioritize blogs where you have the opportunity for dofollow links.

Conclusion

Blog comment backlinks, when used strategically, can be a powerful tool in your SEO arsenal. They offer a unique opportunity to increase visibility, build relationships, and enhance your site’s authority. By focusing on relevant, high-quality blogs and crafting thoughtful, value-driven comments, you can harness the potential of this approach and see tangible benefits in your SEO efforts.

Remember, the key to success with blog comment backlinks is quality over quantity. Be genuine, engage thoughtfully, and always prioritize adding value to the conversation. By doing so, you’ll not only enhance your backlink profile but also contribute positively to the blogging community.

i don’t call this reality the “current reality” . its my pain-in-the-ass reality. my boring reality. my ‘wow! everything sucks ASS’ reality. would 100% recommend not calling this reality your ‘cr’. it helps with not giving this reality so much power yourself!!!! because it is as real and mundane as any other reality you wish to perceive!!! so (if you want!!) name it like you name your desired realities your ‘marauders’ dr or ‘90s fame dr’, maybe it may help with a change of perspective. idk. i am no expert . just works for me 😌

yeah ted talk over BYE (did this make sense???????? i am sorry if it doesn’t haha)

(I'm so sorry for the censoring. I tried to post without it at least 5 times, but tumblr is being extremely weird and hides the art from the tag. it probably thinks Halsin has female representing nipples. 🙄 so here it is. male nipples that are too cool to be shown on tumblr.)

how to ask / motivate your favorite fanfic writers to post new works / update a new chapter WITHOUT rushing them or sounding entitled and rude;

don’t comment “when” or “will there be a next chapter” or “will you continue this?” quite frankly, these type of comments can sound like you’re demanding from your favorite writer, even if it may not be your intention.

if you’d love a sequel or are wondering when or if the fic will be updated, try something like “I love this so much!” *bonus if you explain why you love the fic or what you love about it* and then add something along the line of “if there’s a part 2 of this, I would be so excited / would absolutely love to read it!”

the trick is to avoid a blunt question like “will there be a part 2?” or “it’s been so long. when will you update?” etc.

honestly, DON’T ever comment something like “it’s been ___ months, ___ years” or “I don’t think the author will continue this lol” that’s one of the most effective ways to make sure your favorite author doesn’t come back to your favorite fic, and it’s just so… dishearteningly rude.

it doesn’t matter if it’s been months or years since the author’s last update, demanding and rushing them will most likely NOT give you the result you want.

reminder that fanfic authors are humans with lives and jobs outside of writing fanfiction, especially when fanfic is something they do in their free time out of love and passion, and you — the reader — get to read their works for free.

rushing and demanding will only make it sound like ‘a task that needs to get done’ for your favorite author, and it sucks out the joy of writing out of love and passion. it can be so discouraging for the authors.

fanfic authors don’t owe you anything.

even if they completely abandon the fic, it still doesn’t give you the right to be rude to them or to ask why they stopped writing or to coerce them into giving you what you want.

I can never say this enough; fanfic authors write in their free time, FOR FREE, out of love and passion. and you get to read their works FOR FREE because they’re kind enough to share their love for their comfort characters with you.

they don’t owe you anything.

it’s okay if you’re wondering when or if they’ll post something new, but it’s not okay to rush or demand from them.

comments are mostly what motivate authors into writing faster, so if you want your favorite authors to post more, comment about what you love about their works, express your gratitude to them for giving you these amazing fics for free, but don’t be an entitled reader by rushing or directly asking when they’ll update.

let’s keep fandom space safe and comforting for both writers and readers.

i feel like we don't take seriously enough how little comments on a post can change someone's entire day. of course we don't have to comment on everything everytime but if we all did it a little more i'm sure the community would be waaay more fun and enjoyable. the amount of incredible posts i see that have literally no comments is just baffling me. i consider myself really lucky to have that kind of interactions on my blogs, and i try my best to pass it on, but my efforts are some tiny drops in this ocean of countless lonesome posts and i feel genuinely sad about it. if anyone comments something i've made from now on i've decided to do the same for them! it's just common online courtesy and i think that everyone here deserves a great deal of warmth and appreciation ♡
