User blog comment:Red Eyed Raven/What makes a good blog?/@comment-972068-20130508214036

A blog on your own take of the recent chapter/episode is always welcome. Or even a theory you have on the series. Don't try to impress people too hard. Be yourself, or it just looks a bit weird. There's quite a few interesting topics and mysteries in the series you can look at, though some are forbidden (power levels, Sabo's death, etc.). As for polls, they're always a nice touch if you want to see who does/doesn't agree or what they think without needing to comment. Keep the memes and gifs OUT of the blogs. They're not funny and don't do anything to help.

To be specific on the types of blogs you asked:

A prediction blog is simple. Tell what you think will happen next and why. Don't be too broad, though. And it shouldn't be a prediction that's so short it may as well be a comment.

For fan-fictions, just tell a story. Blogs like "Aokiji vs. Akainu" or "Luffy and Hancock's Child" were pretty popular. It doesn't even need to specifically be based on the characters. It can still be an in-universe thing, and it's interesting to learn about new pirates we never heard of.

Review blogs should always go in-depth and analyze what is wrong/right with the chapter/episode, if any at all. Telling a few jokes in between is always good for comic relief, and it makes the blog more entertaining. Similar to how some popular critics or reviewers on the internet use humor in their reviews. It's boring to read "this is a bad chapter because Luffy should have fought Rebecca". And remember, your job as a critic is to rate chapters on a scale of "good" to "excellent". If you don't like them, that's what "good" is for.

Making a good blog is less complicated than I might make it sound like. Just be yourself, and tell us something interesting. Don't be afraid if your topic is controversial or will spark a debate. Debates are good, as long as it doesn't get too rough. Good luck on your hockey game.
