FAQ And 'Help-Me'

If 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.

Can we please not have nitpicking "grammar nazis", particularly for a language that is incomplete and inconsistent and not even real? Everyone is trying their best to translate and I've seen this person a few times going around basically saying "I'm an expert I know better than you" even though the language itself has flaws and contradictions in it.

Anon,

If I see this GrammarNazi!Anon again I'll delete the 'grammar correction' part and leave the compliments to spare any trouble.

Someone thinks disrespecting the meme is cool or something. http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=2742803&#t2742803

(Anonymous) 2012-08-07 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Please change the rule about no constructive criticism if this person is allowed to give unsolicited corrections. It's misleading and unfair.

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-08-08 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Anon,

There is a rule and it is followed by near everyone, but there are slip ups just like with all rules, especially unintentional slip ups. If you have any links to other times this Anon has made inappropriate corrections then I will delete them without question.

Anon,

Indeed that's a pretty blatant comment, and not a good one in any way. Thank you for bringing this to me. I'll delete it and repost tomorrow. I just hope this wasn't the OP that made that comment.

I think a pleasant reminder of the rules will be appropriate with the Fill-a-thon results.

Thank you again, Anon.

I don't know if this can technically be considered a problem, but this fic is approaching two hundred parts. I've been tracking the meme pages as a participant but it's really getting frustrating to have my inbox regularly explode with large amounts of this one thing.

Would it be possible to get a separate page just for super-giant fills, maybe? Author anons could link to their fill thread under the prompt, so it would make no difference for people who do want to read/track huge things and other people could opt out?

Maybe this is just my issue, but I've been frustrated for a while now and just needed to get that out of my system.

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-08-09 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Anon,

I am honestly unsure how to handle your concern. Let me go through livejournal settings and see what is the simplest way to go about this rather than have to make a separate thread. Given it's size I assume it has a substantial following and regardless of the size of any fill it deserves a chance for as much spotlight as any fill, and the best way to have that is to post on the proper threads.

No one wants there fill pushed off in a corner, for any reason.

I'll chat with my partner in crime and see what we can do to fit everyones needs.

Rude?

(Anonymous) 2012-08-13 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
I was browsing new comments on page 3, and I found this comment;
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=2794771#t2794771

I don't know about the A!A, but I found this comment a bit rude. Maybe that is just me, though.

Re: Rude?

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-08-13 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

I found the third comment unnecessary and yes, rude. I've deleted it. Everyone makes mistakes and shouldn't be chastised for them here of all places.

Thank you for pointing it out to me. :)

If a comment is marked as spam, will it eventually be posted anyway? I tried linking a race mod a prospective filler of my prompt could use as the Dragonborn, but I think the spam filter's eaten it for some reason.

(The prompt in question is this one: skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=2828307 )

Kink judging

(Anonymous) 2012-08-21 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty rude and doesn't explain anything. http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3389.html?thread=2835005&#t2835005

(Anonymous) 2012-08-21 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're not alone, anon! I have this same problem and it's especially annoying because I archive for a different kink meme so I have to check each message to make sure I don't miss anything shoved in between.

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

Comments with links are tricky, sometimes they are marked as spam when the site isn't well known - and no, they don't eventually show themselves. I have to actually unmark it, which I just did. Unfortunately it doesn't give me a notice when this happens. Let me look at the settings and see if we can change this from being a problem again. :)

Re: Kink judging

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-08-22 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

To avoid any insult I've deleted and reposted the prompt so it reads as the OP had intended. :)

Anon,

As a another archiver for another meme, do you have any ideas on how to solve this issue? - an idea that wouldn't disrupt the fill in question but solve yours and the above Anons needs?

Prompt spam

Someone's spamming the prompt page with the same request and it doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.

Hi mods,

I was hoping you could delete this post for me;
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2924.html?thread=2451052#t2451052

I'd like to re-do it to include a bunch of other fills I've started. (I'd rather just have one or two posts with lots of stories than a whole long chain of them, if that's OK.)

Thank you.

Just for safety concerns, I'm going to save this post and will repost in one week if you don't repost. I have deleted it, though, so go ahead and repost. :)

Thanks. I'll be posting it today.

Crappity crap crap crap. I missed some. :X

I'm just going to post without waiting for you to delete, but if you could delete this one: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2924.html?thread=2921836#t2921836

It'll soon be redundant. (And that, hopefully, is the last "delete part two" you'll get, since I'm probably going to hit character limits.)

Thanks!

Hearthfire

(Anonymous) 2012-09-05 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Is there going to be a separate thread for Hearthfire prompts? Or do they just go on the DLC thread with the Dawnguard ones?

Doesn't really seem like there's going to be any major spoiler issues with this one, as it isn't questy. ... Not that I really KNOW, since I'm a PC gamer and have to waaaait.

Re: Hearthfire

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-09-05 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

To keep things simple all DLC, including Hearthfire prompts, should go in the DLC Prompt Thread. I have yet to play the new DLC either, but peoples definition of spoilers differ and to save the hassle they should be made in the proper thread.

Tags stuff

(Anonymous) 2012-09-08 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I feel terrible about being so demanding, I think the mods here do a wonderful job.

This fill here: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=2851603#t2851603 has been accidentally tagged het

Also, this fill here: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=563815#t563815 has been unlinked for more than a week, I suspect because it's buried on page twelve of the oldest post.

And finally, could I get a series:Dyce tag for my prompts? I didn't intend to write so many with the same character, and now he's got a continuity.

So far I have:
