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.

Possible Derogatory wording in Prompt

(Anonymous) 2013-08-09 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
This Anon made a prompt which I would have been interested in, but they described fetishes as "disgusting" in their list of squicks. I get that there are fetishes that are of disgusting/obscene things, but that is the nature of fetish, and to denigrate all fetishes, as this Anon seems to have done, makes me uncomfortable.

Maybe they might be advised to change the wording of their Squick list? Otherwise I could imagine a flame war starting over it.

Falskaar prompts and fills?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-10 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure how many of this community takes part in modding, but I've become weirdly obsessed with this new land mod Falskaar, which is gaining popularity fairly quickly as the unofficial 3rd DLC for Skyrim.

It has only recently come out, but the characters would lend themselves very well to the kink meme. Would this be allowed, and if so, would these then be in the DLC thread, or would there have to be a new thread? Because, technically, Falskaar is 'Downloadable Content', even if it isn't an official Bethesda release.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-13 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
There was a prompt posted 8/12/2013 on page 5, titled "Y-ko." This prompt is requesting unpleasant fic about an actual internet person because of offsite drama. Regardless of how badly behaved this person might be, this seems super creepy and inappropriate.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-13 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
This prompt is a very inappropriate attack on a RL person from another site, and I feel very uncomfortable with a prompt attacking someone like that (even in fiction):

Requesting a series tag

The matter has now been dealt with, and the offending prompt and its replies have now been deleted. We are sorry that the matter was not acknowledged sooner.

In order to prevent future incidents such as this, RL promps are now forbidden in this meme. Posting such a prompt will result in it being deleted, without any exceptions or hearings. This meme is a place for people to come and exchange stories with good cheer and a love for writing, NOT to bash people you don't like. There are plenty of other websites for that, and this is not one of them.

We hope that this result pleases you despite our slow reaction speed.

I just noticed that one of the above stories was only just linked in the archives, but clicking on it takes me only to the first post, while it's a finished story (Sex in the Dragonreach Dungeons).

Probably my own fault because I accidentally linked it above as this: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5341318#t5341318

The link below does take you to the full 6 part story:

Hello there, dear mod :) this anon would like to ask if there are any rules for reposting a fill? And if this anon could receive a brief guide on how to repost fills, this anon will be much obliged!

Thank you very much, kind mod :)

Prompt in wrong location.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-09 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a prompt on Skyrim Page 5 asking for the F!Nerevarine/Vivec and neither of them are in Skyrim, shouldn't it be moved?

Marked as spam?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-03 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
So I tried posting a fill here a couple of minutes ago, with a link to a previous fill featuring the same characters. Aand for some reason it said my post was marked a spam?
Was it because of the link or is there some other logical reason for this that I have missed?

My first fill disappeared

(Anonymous) 2013-10-04 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
My first fill showed up last night when I finished posting it around midnight. However, now it is gone. I must have done something wrong it actually posting it maybe? Will I get any feedback as to what went wrong? Will I get a chance to fix it? I kinda fell in love with this site and want to participate.

Merge DLC to main?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-05 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Is there any possibility of merging the DLC prompts with the main prompt post? All of the Skyrim DLCs have been out for a long time, so at this point, anyone who's still around the meme has probably played them ages ago. I feel like prompts with the DLC characters would get more attention if they could be posted at the main post and I also feel like we might see more DLC character fills in general because the main post has all the lovely generalized prompts that could be filled by any character and the DLC post doesn't. I don't know, I personally don't feel like there's much need to have a separate place for add-on prompts anymore.

URGENT Non-Spam Marked As Spam

[identity profile] classics-lover.livejournal.com 2013-10-05 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Part 2a of "Oh, Very Well, A Galmar/Rozenn Fic" on Part 5, Page 10, top of page.

It is important that this is unmarked as Spam ASAP so that I can continue where I left off, as I am still in the process of writing.

There were no links in the piece, and no HTML that I am aware of, so I don't know why it was marked as Spam, in the first place.

Marked as spam

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hi
I tried to recommend a fill and it was marked as spam. Can I get a tutorial on how to use that page? I'm new to the Meme and still trying to work things out. Thank You.

Re: Marked as spam

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
Not-a-Mod!Anon here. It seems because there was a lot of... unsavoury spam posts on here, the mods set the spam filter to mark anything including a link as spam.

Mostly to avoid this I spell the dots in the link to break it up. E.G skyrimkinkmeme {DOT} livejournal {DOT} com

That way Anons can copy-paste and edit the link themselves, and get to it fairly easily, but it (hopefully) won't get marked as spam. Hope this helps, Nonny!

Misspelling

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wondering if I could fix a spelling error on my first fill. I misspelled Galmar's name(spelled it Galmore). I realize such can be off putting to the reader and wonder If I can edit it somehow?.=)
Thank You

Fill Post Incorrectly Marked as Spam

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello,

I was just posting an update to the fill I am currently writing. After posting part 5g, I received the message "Your anonymous comment has been added. According to this journal's settings, it was marked as spam." I am not sure why it was flagged, and I will need that part up so I can finish the chapter I am currently on.

My fill is titled "The Spring Wind That Blew Through Dragonsreach” F!OC/Farengar Secret-Fire, (partnumber)." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
A!A

Editing once posted

(Anonymous) 2013-10-14 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it possible to edit a fill I already posted? It seems despite my proofreading I always miss something.
I have some missing words, misspelling,missing quotation marks, Please help. =)

Mod Requests - Allowed or not?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, I have a question: Can we request pairings that have characters from mods? If yes, where?

I downloaded Interesting NPC´s and have about a billion plot ideas and itches (Most of them involving Rumarin :3 ). A mod this size should really get some "official recognition". Can I request fills anywhere?

Please delete my prompt.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-25 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
