Star Readers!!
It should be no surprise to anyone in this community that engagement is pretty low and creators are regularly asking for people to engage more. I know I regularly try things to encourage engagement as I know it helps me be engaged and inspired too!
So far my current efforts have not worked, at least not at large and I started wondering what else I can do and something that helps me do a task is a little reward, like a metaphorical gold star…. So i thought what about gold stars?
This is going to be a trail run, it won’t be a weekly or monthly thing, i’ll just be handing them out as and when I see a star reader in my notifications!
To be a star reader all you have to do is be someone who regularly engages, reblogs and leaves comments on fics.
Likes, especially serial likes will not count (if anything they’ll make you less likely to earn it!)
We’ll see how it goes and if any other creator wants to copy this idea, feel free to just tag me or something to give credit 🥰
Here are the star awards you can win, I’ll try and award your favourite if I select you 😉
They’re not perfect and will probably undergo some edits and improvements but for now here they are!!
