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.

Delicious Link Change

(Anonymous) 2016-12-19 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
It looks to me as though Delicious has changed its link, and although I can still find the meme's account through a Google search, the 'filled' and 'unfilled' links on the sidebar here link to dead sites now. I'm not sure who's here anymore who is in charge of stuff like that, but I thought I should bring it to someone's attention.

Re: Delicious Link Change

(Anonymous) 2016-12-19 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
It looks like Delicious changed their domain (back) to 'del.icio.us' and finally killed the 'delicious' one. I've updated the links in the sidebar and they should work now. Thanks!

A!Anon,

My apologies for taking so long in getting back with you (a very long time ). Do you still want a delete for this?

Re: Art fill marked as spam

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2017-02-12 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
A!Anon,

Could you specify which page the art fill is on? And I try to check the spam filters as often as possibly but they're poorly designed for some reason. It's always best to post the link here so we know to look out for it. Thank you!

Re: Kinkmeme Discord - yay or nay?

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2017-02-12 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

Feel free to post a link. I would recommend you post it in the discussion thread so more anons can see it.

Updated LJ TOS

(Anonymous) 2017-04-08 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi, mods! Thank you for all your work keeping this place going. :)

I don't know if this is something you want to take action on or not, but LiveJournal recently updated their TOS to include rules that might take down kink memes like this one. I've seen some kink memes start moving to places like Dreamwidth in response. There's more info here:

Just wanted to let you know!

Re: LJ TOS Update

Thank you, Anon. I've read up on it this morning and have decided to transition to Dreamwidth. We did it awhile ago but never made a full transition so I am now in the process of importing the Meme again. Once it's done I'm going to following in the same vein as the DAKinkMeme and freeze all threads here. I will keep everyone posted as best I can, but there will be lots to do as far as updating links go.

Re: LJ TOS Update

Would you be interested in getting volunteers to help with updating the delicious links? If so I'm interested in helping out however I can, and I'm sure others might be as well if you make a post requesting volunteers.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Is it possible that on the dreamwidth version, we could get a 'dreamwidth only' new post? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I was thinking maybe it would help keep things clear to have a small new start so that people trying to look through prompts on both memes don't have to double read pages. Though I know most of the traffic seems like it's still over here on LJ.

(Anonymous) 2017-09-04 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
er, anonymous posting is also disabled over on DW

(Anonymous) 2018-01-02 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello! I'd like to request my Who filled it? posts to be removed ( 2924 . html ? thread = 1291372 # t1291372 on LJ and 763 . html ? thread= 1291515 # cmt1291515 on DW). Thank you!

Two writers filling a prompt together?

(Anonymous) 2018-12-11 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi there! I’ve been lurking for a few weeks, and I just had a question. I was wondering if it is permissible to make a general request to do kind of a “team” fill, where I might write part one and a partner would do part two, and we’d alternate going forward (assuming the prompt called for a longish fill). Does that make any sense? Or would the notion of this make it seem like I’m trying to unmask someone’s anonymity by requesting them to write with me? Sorry, I feel super insecure about all this and I just thought it would be kind of nice to pair up with someone for my first fill if I do decide to take the plunge.
Thanks in advance for any response. :)

Spam getting out of control

(Anonymous) 2019-03-26 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi mods! Any chance you can do something about all the spam links clogging up the kinkmeme? It's especially bad on the last page of Skyrim DLC--it's pretty much all spam at this point. One is advertising "erotic children" and I REALLY do not want to know what that means. Or see that phrase ever again.

I hope you can take a look at it. Thanks!

Finding Unfilled Prompts

(Anonymous) 2019-09-09 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Is there anyway to easily see the unfilled prompts rather than going through each page individually?

Where is page 4?

(Anonymous) 2020-06-24 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I've just been looking through and noticed there's a Skyrim Page 3 and then the next Skyrim Page is 5. Is 4 missing?
