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.

someone has spent the last day and a half continually reposting the same prompt on the last two comment pages of the meme. it's spamming up inboxes for people that track the page, and they show no sign of stopping. could you please do something about this? thank you.

Stop hack the program!!!

Delicious no longer being updated?

(Anonymous) 2015-10-17 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Have I gone to the looney bin? Have we moved onto pinboard? For me its been 3 months since an update.

Re: Delicious no longer being updated?

(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I suspect the mods are all inactive. There's some buggy multi-posts on the latest thread that still haven't been cleaned up.

Delicious not showing anything?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-15 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Delicious isn't showing anything at all for me. Not entries, no links, nothing whatsoever. It's like they deleted the entire account.

RE: Delicious not showing anything?

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2016-01-15 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I can assure you, the account is still there.

Are you on mobile by any chance? Delicious has been having issues with the links not loading on their mobile site (and the followers/following/public links displaying as 0). You should still be able to access the archive from a desktop browser.

I am in contact with Delicious to find out more.

Art fill alert

(Anonymous) 2016-02-22 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hey there, just wanted to give a heads up that I posted an art fill titled "ART FILL: HONK", and it landed in the spam folder! (not providing a link to the prompt in question, since that would make this post land in the spam folder as well, but if it helps, I can post it as a separate comment!)

RE: Delicious not showing anything?

(Anonymous) 2016-02-24 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good it's not just me. I hoe it gets fixed.

Re: Art fill alert

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2016-02-24 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry about that Anon, I have removed it from the folder. Let me know if you have any other issues.

Art Fills

(Anonymous) 2016-02-28 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, hello! Love the meme, but am not much of a writer. I am, however, a pretty decent artist and was wondering about the rules around posting art based on someone's fill?

I really love some of the fills on here and have drawn scenes from them but was wondering if I should tag it as if it were an original fill or if there's specific rules regarding fanart.

RE: Art Fills

(Anonymous) 2016-02-28 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
*squeals*
A meme artist!!! That's awesome!
This anon doesn't know the rules, but every author loves receiving fan art ^_^
Can't wait to see your stuff, anon!

Fill not Archived Correctly

(Anonymous) 2016-05-09 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Fill on Delicious not Archived with Sondas in the tags. I'm not sure if there's a way to send a link to the bookmark itself but I'm putting below the title of the bookmark and the original link:


F!Dragonborn/Sondas "Beneath Dreaming Trees" 6/6

http: //skyrimkinkmeme (.) livejournal (.) com/1639 (.) html?thread=573799#t573799

i hope this doesn't come off as rude I'm just trying to sound efficient

Re: Fill not Archived Correctly

(Anonymous) 2016-05-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Archivist here: Thank you and I've added the char:sondas tag to that link! Generally I try not to pick through Delicious and add tags to older links but yeah, if you see something like that I'll definitely look at it.

Thanks!

Art fill marked as spam!

(Anonymous) 2016-06-26 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I posted a piece of art associated with my fill and it was marked as spam (it was a tumblr link, I'm assuming that's why it was filtered)

Hoping you could fix that for me?

It was under the Erandur/M!DB: "Prude" thread

Re: Art fill marked as spam!

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2016-06-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Fixed! Also, Livejournal marks all links (and therefore all pictures) as spam, so it would have happened regardless Anon.

Requesting the delete of the post in subject line. Just the part 3, if possible. Will replace part. Kept forgetting to ask about this. Thank you kindly!

Anon,

Since the third part is a parent to the fourth part and all the comments underneath it, those too will also be deleted. Just want you to know before I do anything else.

(Anonymous) 2016-09-07 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Much obliged for the warning, Mod. Unless it goes against policy, I'd like to go ahead and proceed with the delete. This is an old fic, so I know the OP had a chance to read it as it was. I'll replace both the 3rd and 4th parts. Thank you again.

Art fill marked as spam

(Anonymous) 2016-09-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
A shame that link spamming is a problem. Makes art fills more tedious I suppose. Do you mods check what gets filtered as spam or should I come here to request it being permitted every time? Just curious <3

Should be labelled as "Art fill: F!DB and Teldryn Sero" if I remember correctly
(hugs)

Pardon, Mod. Just checking up on my request for the post delete. Thanks.

Kinkmeme Discord - yay or nay?

(Anonymous) 2016-12-18 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey guys, I know the meme is a little slow, which can be expected for a game that's almost 6 years old! for those of you that are still here though, and wouldn't mind having a hangout space for other prompters/authors and such, I toyed around and made a discord server - I wanted to ask if it was okay to post it here before I gave a link. For those of you who don't know, discord is a new-ish chat centre for "gamers" and it's pretty convenient. If people are interested I'll post a link.
