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's spamming the prompt page with the same request and it doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.

Delete Request

Hi mods,

I was hoping you could delete this post for me;
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2924.html?thread=2451052#t2451052

I'd like to re-do it to include a bunch of other fills I've started. (I'd rather just have one or two posts with lots of stories than a whole long chain of them, if that's OK.)

Thank you.

Hearthfire

(Anonymous) 2012-09-05 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Is there going to be a separate thread for Hearthfire prompts? Or do they just go on the DLC thread with the Dawnguard ones?

Doesn't really seem like there's going to be any major spoiler issues with this one, as it isn't questy. ... Not that I really KNOW, since I'm a PC gamer and have to waaaait.

Tags stuff

(Anonymous) 2012-09-08 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I feel terrible about being so demanding, I think the mods here do a wonderful job.

This fill here: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=2851603#t2851603 has been accidentally tagged het

Also, this fill here: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=563815#t563815 has been unlinked for more than a week, I suspect because it's buried on page twelve of the oldest post.

And finally, could I get a series:Dyce tag for my prompts? I didn't intend to write so many with the same character, and now he's got a continuity.

So far I have:

Hello so

(Anonymous) 2012-09-11 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Um.. Would it possible if I post corrections to delete a post that had made previously that are pretty much the same minus the corrections? Like well I made some mistakes in http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3288.html?thread=2937304#t2937304

and it's been driving me crazy..

Summary addition...

(Anonymous) 2012-09-16 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hello Mod,

I had made a note at the top of one of my updates to ask to add a summary for my fic on delicious but they must have missed it. I was wondering if I could have the summary:

"Dead!Ondolemar discovers that he was very wrong about Talos. Now he is in a place of proving, and has to rely on a group of humans to survive."

added to they entry on this fic: "By the Nine!" - http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3288.html?thread=1916632#t1916632

Thanks so much!

Oopsies, I think I broke it.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I broke my kinkmeme fill.. First I asked for one of them to be deleted so I could replace it with the correction, and well now it's out of order and I posted the correction twice... it is a mess.
If you want to check out what I'm talking about its posted here..
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3288.html?thread=1252056

Help me please, Admittedly this is my very first fill, and I do have the intent to do more...but I um... Well it's so bad right now, so out of order I don't know what to do!

(Anonymous) 2012-09-24 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I mis-posted a fill, now it's out of order... Please fix? Sorry, mods, my LJ fu is not very strong. I managed to get the third part of the fill above the rest, derp.

"Warmness From Your Presence"

I noticed that the current link to this only goes to their tags comment and not the fill, but here's the prompt the fic came from: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=2656531#t2656531

can't find this through delicious - "Thaw"

I don't think this Dyce fill is tagged there.

Need a post deleting!

(Anonymous) 2012-10-21 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi Mods,

I posted part of my fic and messed up the HTML. Could I have this post deleted please?

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=3371539#t3371539

I have already reposted a corrected version, I just need the messed up one taking down. Thank you!

(Anonymous) 2012-10-24 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hello! I want to request a fill that uses characters from Skyrim and from an older Elder Scrolls game. Where does it go - Skyrim prompts, or Elder Scrolls prompts?

Original character's gender is not revealed?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-24 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi lovely admin,

I am going to fill an old, old prompt with a piece of smut between the character they've suggested and my player character. My PC does not reveal their gender during the story - deliberately, because I want people who enjoy het to read it as het, and people who prefer slash to read it as slash. How on earth would we go about tagging it?

Thanks :)

(Anonymous) 2012-10-28 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Mods,
I derped and posted a prompt in the wrong thread (too many windows open at once, oops!) I'm going to post it in the appropriate thread, if you'd like to delete it from here:

Mislabeled Fill on the Delicious

(Anonymous) 2012-11-05 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey there, this is the anon responsible for the "If You Catch My Grift" fill on the current page of the third Skyrim page. In the delicious, it's catalogued as being at "3/3" installments - I had to double check to make sure I hadn't mislabeled, it's actually at "3/?" because it's a work in progress.

Deletion and Fill Retitling Requests

(Anonymous) 2012-11-12 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Good day, Mods! :D

I'm very sorry, but I'll be needing a lot of your help. I am very unversed in the ways of the anonymous kink memes, since this is my first fill.I promised to post a long "reveal chapter" this week, and I'd like to fix my fill before I put it up.

May I please have the following link deleted? It's a sort of double post on my part because I didn't know that anon posts take time to show up in the comments section.

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3288.html?thread=2013400#t2013400

Also, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to ask if you could delete my "Sky Above, Voice Within" series in this thread: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3288.html?thread=1984472& . I've spotted a dialogue error that could screw up character development and would like to give the series a more appropriate and possibly plot-relevant title. I'd like it if the comments left by the kind Reader!Anons would be left undeleted though. :)

Again, I'm very sorry for asking for so much. :(

Volunteering as an archivist

(Anonymous) 2012-11-16 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
I couldn't help but notice that you're seeking new archivists. I will be glad to volunteer, since the lack of updates on Delicious really pains me, and I figured I can't be the only one who suffers from it. I use the meme daily, and I could start at the beginning of the upcoming week (19.11.2012) since I'll be away this weekend. Do I need to make a LJ account or something for this? I don't have one, but if it's required I'll be glad to make it.

Post deletion needed please! Urgent if possible?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-17 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello mods, I managed to screw up posting the latest chapter of my story and need some posts removed.

This: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=3622419#t3622419

And this: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=3622675#t3622675

I am reposting fixed posts, but if you could get rid of the messed up ones, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Deletion Request

(Anonymous) 2012-11-19 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi mods,

I'm sorry to dump some extra work on you awesome people but I posted in the wrong place. The fill, "Negotiations", is not showing up on the threads but has ended up archived on Delicious as a comment to "You Bastard". Is there a way to delete it without mucking stuff up? Thread line is here.

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=3008019#t3008019

Also, as it's an old prompt that has been filled already should I repost to the original prompt or in a newer part of the meme with a link?

Thanks for helping out a N00b

Update not on Delicious

(Anonymous) 2012-11-21 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
So, a few days ago I finished this fill here, "Needs", http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=896103#t896103 .

It now has 17 parts in total, but Delicious only lists the first two, even though I started updating it two weeks ago.
Would someone be kind enough to fix this?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-05 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a heads up that I left a prompt on page 3 with a link to fanart and it got marked as spam. Wanted to be sure a mod knew. Thanks! :)

(Anonymous) 2012-12-19 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wondering if I could get tags added to the Delicious archive for an ongoing fill? The character list will keep expanding as the DB gets more...acquainted with Skyrim, so if it's too much trouble to add more that's fine.

It's Riding Skyrim: The Private Journals of the Dragonborn here: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3288.html?thread=1710040#t1710040

Here's a consolidated list of all of the tags so far (oh, and does crack = funny? Because if it does, I guess I need that one, too.):

char:F!PC char:ralof char:hadvar char:ulfric_stormcloak char:bjorlam char:jarl_balgruff char:farengar char:alvor char:farengar_secret-fire char:idolaf_battle-born char:lydia char:hjornskar_head-smasher char:golldir char:talsgar char:brynjolf char:balimund char:asbjorn

relationship:het

kink:wall_sex kink:oral kink:fingering kink:group_sex kink:masturbation kink:public kink:adultery kink:rough_sex kink:magic kink:anal kink:double_penetration kink:massage kink:size

race:nord

es:skyrim

Thank you so much!

Erm... I don't quite know what to say, but I was quite severely squicked by a story on the meme. The problem is that the first part of it involves non-consensual groupsex, which is one set of kinks - but the second part, without any warning at all, is vore. And quite gruesome vore at that - the character who got raped gets his revenge on the gang leader by dismembering and eating him while he's still alive.

It's fine that the story exists, but it needs its tags updating on Delicious, and very possibly a warning on the meme itself, because eating your rapist is kind of extreme.
