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.

In order to give your fills a series tag, I need to know which fills you want to include it in. The fastest and simplest way to do so would be linking them as a reply to this message

Could I please get a series tag for my character, Nandita? So far she's in two fics:

Way Back When: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=3312403#t3312403

Scenery: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5316486#t5316486

Tag should just be series:nandita. Thank you!

Possible Plagarism?

(Anonymous) 2013-05-27 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey Mods,

I was browsing the Flat View and noticed that there had been a prompt filled which seemed vaguely familiar. A quick search and it is virtually a carbon copy of a (now ancient) NWN2 fanfiction story.

Obviously because of the anon system I have no idea of whether or not this is posted by the original author or whether it's plagarism, but I hate to see others taking credit for someone elses work...and have no idea what the kinkmeme etiquette is for these situations. And nobody likes a whinger :S

The prompt is http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5387142#t5387142

and the original NWN2 story is http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3284583/1/One-Lousy-Joke

if you want to double-check.

Thanks

Umm... can I second this?

I mean, I don't know what we're supposed to do in this situation, or whether taking the whole story down would be an appropriate response (even though I AM offended by plagiarism; as a writer I don't want anyone else taking credit for my work)...

But could we at least get an official statement that plagiarism is not cool or something like that?

Spam?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-01 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
It seems like someone is trying to spam our beautiful meme with viagra ads.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't really want to see such ads framing my posts or fills. It ruins the whole meme experience for me.

Could you please delete these and keep an eye out if any other such ads show up? Thank you in advance.

Anons,

I've looked at the fill and I'm rather floored. It's obvious from the respond of the 'author' that they were acting as though they had been writing it. I'm going to delete it and put up a plagiarism rule on the front page, if there isn't one there already. If there is I'll make it bigger.

Thanks for posting this to the FAQ section. I'll take care of it immediately.

I do see the fill. Duty and Silence? I do see it in the archive as well. If you still can't find it, let me know. We'll figure something out.

Anon,

Those rules were already there when I took over as mod just when Skyrim came out. I will though add a credit to you guys as I've seen a few telltale signs that it was taken from the dragonagekinkmeme. I had been under the impression that permission was given. I could have been wrong.

Needless to say it will be amended. Thank you for mentioning it.

Re: Fill-a-thons?

Anon,

I think that's a great idea. And as for the lack of fill-a-thons, one is in effect now. We now have two mods on board with full access to all of the meme, so hopefully things will be going more smoothly from now on.

Re: Please grant me a series tag

Anon,

Looks like it's been taken care of. When you post your third one we'll add the series tag to that as well. And I think any more than two is more than enough justification for a series tag, but just two is fine as well.
