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.

Anon,

No problem. I've re-archived "Warpaint" since it was part of a multifill, but "Thuri Dovahkiin" has remained unaffected. :)

Goodness. I need this deleted:

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=1158503

I've made the mistake before, but preview != post. I meant to preview and re-read to catch things like incomplete sentences. Whoops.

Thanks a ton, mods!

Confused anon

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
So I tried posting a story here:

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=358503#t358503

but it's not showing up on the comments page unless I press the "thread" page.

Is that normal?

Confused Anon,

Are you logged into LJ? This is a common problem, along with missing posts, for those that do not log into a ghost account (an account you use but remain posting anonymously).

Hi mod!

I left a prompt on Skyrim page 2 a few days ago that was screened. (There was a link to the Skyrim wiki, which is probably the culprit.) Could you unscreen it please, if you missed it?

Unless it accidentally posted logged in or something. Please delete if that's the case, as I value my sweet, sweet anonymous magic.

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-02-16 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Anon,

I have not screened any posts (in fact I've only done it once and the journal doesn't automatically do it even when a video link is posted). I did scan Page 2 and still found nothing. If you could give me the title of your prompt or if it was a reply that might help sort this out.

, Mod

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the fast response. :)

It was definitely auto-screened somehow, it gave me the "your comment has been screened blah blah settings blah something" notification before returning me to the post.

My prompt was for m!Argonian Listener and f!Nord Dark Brotherhood prisoner dub con.

This was right around the latest bout of lj being screwy though, now that I think about it. If the prompt is not there I can rewrite it later.

Thanks!

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure that's LJ's new way of saying "Hey! That prompt was completely delicious, thank you! But, uh, it was so good that I forgot I was supposed to share it, and devoured it whole. Could you make another? I promise I'll share the new one with the whole meme." Happened to one of my prompts too, a bit back.

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-02-16 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

My apologies. I figured out the issue. Yes, indeed your comment was screened. Before setting up the second page for the Skyrim thread I forgot to disable screening from the normal default (which marks any posts with links as suspicious). It has all been fixed and shouldn't be a problem in the future. :)

I've taken the liberty of re-archiving your prompt since it didn't look like anyone could see it until I fixed this little issue.

OP thinks this is the greatest way to sum up lj's antics, and smiled when she read it. :)

Thank you, mod of my heart!

Prompt comment

Hey mod, I don't know if this will get out of hand but I have to agree that this comment shouldn't be there.

Re: Prompt comment

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-02-17 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Anon,

Agreed. The comment itself is redundant and can only cause issues. It's been deleted as well as the responding comment. Thanks for spotting that one.

More deletions please!

(Anonymous) 2012-02-17 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=1173863#t1173863 that post and http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=1175911#t1175911 that post, please!

I wrote them while at work, and my posting was perhaps too hasty, because when I re-read, it wasn't what I had wanted. XD

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

I'm new to the whole prompt and fill thing, and to Livejournal altogether (I joined cuz of this place hehe)
I made a fill for a prompt, posted it, and accidentally posted it twice. Now the first few parts arent even showing up under the thread. Was there a mistake or should I wait a day or two before me/others can see it?

Its on the third page of Skyrim:Page 2

(Anonymous) 2012-02-21 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
That usually happens when you're not logged in to post. Click the "read more" link at the top of this FAQ page and check the first two questions.

[identity profile] skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com 2012-02-21 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Anon,

Yes it does seem that you double posted the first portion of your fill, which I have just deleted. I see '4/?' as far as post count, hopefully that is the right number you're looking for. The anon above me is correct, being logged in does help with missing posts, but sadly LJ is known for quaking up in the post processing, resulting in double posts and the like.

Let me know if you have any further troubles and congrats on joining. :) I think you will find that an account does make a difference while perusing the meme.

Replying to section 2 and not section 1 is silly. Could you please delete this:

Add a tag, please?

(Anonymous) 2012-02-23 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I know I've already got a ton on this fill, but could I also have "kink:denial" added to http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=1192295#t1192295?

Thank you so much! ♥

Anon,

Tag has been added. :) also, there can never be too many tags on a fill.
