FAQ And 'Help-Me'

skyrimkinkmemeIf you want to contact a mod without the loss of anonymity that comes via PM, post your question/request here. Don't be shy!
Want a post deleted? Because of anonymity, we rarely delete fills but will consider deleting prompts if they violate the rules.
Have a question, suggestion or complaint? This is the place to let us know, unless you'd like to contact us privately. You can also de-anon here, if you care to.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I post anonymously?
A: Below the body of your message are two buttons: 'post comment' and 'more options...' Select the 'more options' button and you will be redirected to another page with the ability to preview as well as an option to open a drop down menu from your login name. From there you will have many options, but on the bottom is 'Anonymous'. Select this and it will mark you as anonymous even though you are still logged in. Remember, if you forget, just go back and delete you comment and re-post under anonymous.
Q: My prompt/fill/comment isn't showing up! What's going on?
A: Don't panic! Your post is not gone, just hidden. Sometimes LiveJournal
hides anonymous comments when the commenter is not logged in. Try
logging in or waiting a few hours. Sometimes it even takes a day. Please do not repost your comments without checking with a mod.
Q: When do we have Fill-a-Thon? How long do they last?
A: We have Fill-a-Thon at the start of every month, from the 1st until the 7th: one week. At that time all prompts posted will be deleted and saved to be reposted on the 8th, but this is a stress on the archivers and mods so please remember to save them for the 8th. We want to encourage
people to fill, instead of just prompt as well as give our archivers a
break!
Q: Can I fill a prompt that's already been filled?
A: Yes, the more the merrier, plus that makes for an even more pleased OP.
Q: Can I fill a prompt that's already been claimed?
A: Yes, that's also just fine. Claiming is more for the OP's benefit.
Q: Can I post multiple prompts?
A: Go for it - but try to fill as well as prompt.
Q: When does the meme make a new thread for prompts and fills?
A: When the thread hits 20 pages a new one will be made for that particular category.
Q: I'm posting a big fill. How do I avoid the shrinking format problem?
A: Normally this becomes a problem around post 13-15. To solve the skinny paragraphs, just reply consecutively to the original prompt rather than replying to your previous posts one after the other.
Q: It looks like there's a lot of this pairing. Can I post/request more?
A: Of course! If there's already plenty of a certain character/pairing it's because anons want it.
Q: I have this weird pairing/kink/character fetish. Is it too weird for the meme?
A: Only if it's sexually involving someone under 15. Otherwise, go to town.
Q: What I wrote is kind of out-of-character. Is that OK?
A: Yup. All fills are welcomed here, including OOC ones. If the OP
specified in-character though, they might be disappointed. Do your best
and talk with the OP if you're concerned.
Q. Somebody posted something on my fill that hurts my feelings. Is it dumb to ask for it to be taken down?
A. Not at all. PM the mod and we'll get right to it.
Q: Can I give feedback to the writers/artists?
A: If it's positive, yes. To avoid hurt feelings (and to encourage writers
of all skill levels) we don't post the hard stuff.
Q: My fill (or one I found) is labeled wrong/is missing in the archives. What do I do?
A: Link it here and we'll fix it ASAP.
Q: My prompt never got filled :( When can I repost it?
A: About a month later is fine.
Q: This prompt is months old. Should/Can I fill it?
A: YES! Even if the OP isn't around, other anons will LOVE to read it. You
can also repost the prompt and your fill if you'd like.
Q: Somebody requested a sequel. Where do I post it?
A: Just make a new thread in the main meme and post from there. Don't worry about keeping it with the original prompt.
Q: How do I upload fanart?
A: You can use sites like Comprehensive List of Adult Friendly Image Hosts, Adult Image Host, or File Fap.

Thanks for the suggested as well anon. The more anons like you that come up with great suggestions, the better this meme will be for the New Year. :)

Date: 2012-01-10 01:32 pm (UTC)Screened comments
Date: 2012-01-10 05:50 pm (UTC)As for links in comments there is no rule against that either. A comment shouldn't be screened because of a link ever. The art fills are proof of that.
If you are still having problems posting the prompt again, send it to me via PM at skyrimkinkmeme and I can post it anonymously for you. And if you are still having problems in the future contact me and we can figure this out.

Posting for Beginners
Date: 2012-01-20 07:23 pm (UTC)Second of all we have a thread that explains most of the details on how to post and all that jazz, http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1432.html
Though the absolute 'beginning for beginners' is to select reply to the original prompt once you're ready to post part or all of your fill.
The character limit for each post is 4300, so most fills will require multiple posts. Once you've posted your portion of the fill in the message window, go to your subject and type in the name of your fill title as well as what part it is (1/2) or if you're still writing it and don't know how many parts it will be (1/?). The following posts will heed to the same consecutive pattern (2/4, 3/4, 4/4).
Don't forget to post the kinks, characters and relationship type before or after your fill to help with archiving as well. And if you would prefer to write your own summary for the delicious link, then by all means.
If you have any more questions, or I haven't answered something obvious or even just enlighten you on more of the method, let me know. :)

Postings not showing up.
Date: 2012-01-26 01:50 pm (UTC)This thread (http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=758631#t758631) seems to be having problems with posts not showing up. I know LJ doesn't always show them straight away, especially if the poster isn't logged in, but I don't know if it's that or something else. I posted a fill for the above link yesterday, and according to the flat view it's there, along with some other comments, but they're not showing up on the thread itself. Just wondering if this was a delay, a problem with LJ, or my internet being silly.
Thanks for your time and patience.
Slightly Confused Anon
Re: Postings not showing up.
Date: 2012-01-27 12:58 am (UTC)LJ indeed has trouble showing up posts, sometimes it can take up to 24 hours. I don't know why, but I can assure you that your posts are indeed there. I have the first portion already archived and am on to updated the other half that has also shown up.

Date: 2012-01-29 01:40 am (UTC)If it's hidden to me, can you delete the extra posts (if they worked) so I don't look like a fool when I finally figure out how to post?
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=821607#t821607
My second question is, how long can a fill be. For what it's worth, my prepared fill is 15 pages. Too long?
Re: Should have read this first
Date: 2012-01-29 08:06 pm (UTC)Normally when anons have problems viewing their own posts it's because they are not logged in under a ghost account (i.e. one they are logged into, but remain anonymous while posting). As far as deleting anything, if you posted it, it can be deleted if you wish - just simply request it here with a link to the particular post.
I have looked at your fill, and yes it is all there, and yes it has been archived in the delicious, however you posted part 2-14 un-anonymously. Which is a shame since it's so many parts, but it will have to be deleted and posted anon within the month. So you have until the 31st to repost it.
As for the length, any size fill is welcome - whether that be a micro fill, or one with 30+ parts. Though, when dealing with larger fills, in order to avoid the skinny column of words further into your fill, it is best to start off replying to the original post continuously until you are done.
I hope this helped anon.

Re: Delicious Tags
Date: 2012-01-31 08:15 pm (UTC)The "es" and "kink" are used to tag all kinks and all elder scrolls, it's sort of redundant but it's something I'm afraid to mess with. Better off to just ignore it.
I'll get right on it Anon. Thanks again. :)
