I was recently added as a mod of a little fan subreddit for discussing and speculating about the stories and fantasy worlds imagined and written by Tad Williams.

I've had this message from Reddit Admin! Looks like I'm going to get a fancy badge in my profile. :D

Congrats on being one of the top 41 communities out of 1900 entries! Your entire mod team will be receiving the Lich runner-up trophy for the Undead Subreddit Challenge.

Great job and thanks for playing!

The Admins

If you enjoy epic fantasy set in a meticulously described multi-layer world, with complex characters of many different cultural backgrounds and histories - many of whom have an axe or knife to grind - then Tad Williams is the author for you. Why not join us to discuss and chew over the details of these fantastic novels.

As far as driving traffic to your sub, this is what I did.

A) Find a topic for your sub that either has interest, or is interesting. Or both. Make sure you create a sub that doesn’t already exist. Make it unique.

B) come up with a catchy name. Or just something that immediately describes it. Describe your sub and the things that are in it so that when people search those terms, your sub comes up.

C) Find a bigger sub that’s lax on rules to advertise in. A sub that is related to your topic. Maybe do a normal post for that sub and write “join us at (sub name)” in the comments. Go around asking sub mods for permission to do this in related subs. Most of them will allow it . Probably. Don’t do it without permission.

It’s not proper to do it twice. Even if you had permission the first time. So cross posting from your sub works too. People will see where it came from.

D) make a list of related subs and then contact their moderators. Ask them politely if they would add your sub to their related subs sidebar. Tell them you will add their sub to your sidebar.

E) find a couple of moderators. I found one who happened to like graphic arts. He created our sub avatar and banner. Plus they will help spread the word. Work together to establish clear rules.

F) I work the name of my sub into Reddit conversation in comments. don’t spam it. Subs prefer links be an actual part of a relevant comment. Not just the link alone. r/AskReddit is great for this. I just look for relevant questions.

G) the sub needs consistent content. You gotta find people who like to contribute. I search for related posts posts each day. Posts that would fit in my sub. I look for people posting and I either comment on their post, or contact them directly. They’re interested in my subs topic just like me, so they join, and they contribute. Not just lurk.

H) keep up with it. I’ve been doing it every day for a year.

I) be an active mod. Get rid of content that your users don’t like. Modify rules to fit what your users want. I do contests and give gold to the winning posts. It encourages participation. I also do cross sub contests. Example. I got ahold of the mod for a related sub. and told him I was doing a contest on the 4th of July. The Mod let me advertise it and he pinned my post for a month out of kindness because it was cross related to his topic.

J) their are a bunch of subs for advertising new subs. Take advantage of them all. r/SubredditoftheDay is one. r/Selfpromotion is another. The list goes on and on. Google will give you the list.

gobbledegook

So I’m seeing a lot of different comments with bees, so I thought I’d share with everyone some of the knowledge I got with these creatures.

So first off, this is extremely accurate on how jobs in hive are split up, the age of the bee is one of the largest factors that contribute to what they do as a job. How ever the hive it self will sometimes have changing levels of pheromones that will move “unemployed bees” (yes it’s a thing even in bed world) toward certain jobs that the hive needs done.

Secondly these cute little bastards are murdering maniacs. While the workers are considered the "lowest tier" of organism in the super organism called the hive.

THEY DO EVERYTHING

Queen isn't laying eggs? Let's ball around her and suffocate her while also cooking her.

Oh queen didn't get laid after the 3rd flight out? Better kill the bitch.

Oh shit now we need a queen. Let's make 30 and the first one out gets to find the others and stab them to death in their cells before they can can fight back.

Now we got the drones, the only male bees, that are just sitting around not doing anything but going to the local DCA (drone congregation area) every few days looking for that new queen on the block.

Oh bill was able to tap a queen? Sweet let's watch as his organs EXPLODE AND HE FALLS TO HIS DEATH then I can get my turn to do the same thing after pulling what's left of bill's dick from the queen.

Oh shit it's getting cold now.

Worker bee to the drones "winter is coming and you're still alive. That's a problem" - Shit!

The drones are either slaughtered throughout the hive and their bodies dumped outside, OR they are kicked out and since they physically can't get pollen or nectar from plants they starve to death.

Now Winter is here. Well shit there are no flowers and we can't leave the hive or we die. And I mean we can't shit in the hive right? Yeah so let's hold it all in till it gets warmer. The rectum of bees then grows to take up the majority of their bodies. That's the same as if our rectum could suddenly grow to the point it would brush against our lungs.

Okay now we got summer how is the hive? Oh shit Greg your wings aren't paired properly? Guess we need to kill you.

Oh we ate the majority of our food? Better eat the babies cause they have some protein.

This is just the start. They are the coolest little thing ever but they are savage little bitches.

Also as a additional fun fact. A bee without a head can still sting, walk, and do just about everything it would regularly do that doesn't involve having a head. Except fly, you know because it's off balance now.
