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.

Two questions from a noob

(Anonymous) 2013-03-27 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello! I'm brand new to the kink meme, and I'm quite turned around, I'm afraid. ^^; I've found a lot of help here on the FAQ and on the "How To" thread, but there are a couple things I'd like clarified:

1. Is it "appropriate" to link to an external site when filling a prompt? I.e., as an a!a, could I comment with a link to ff.net or ao3 where the fill is being posted? (Endeavoring to more cleanly organize a long fill.) Or do you prefer the fill to be posted here, definitely, and there is the option of posting elsewhere?

2. I followed a link and read a discussion about the meme moving to dreamwidth. Did that happen/is that the current place I ought to be, or did it fall to the wayside? I did google "skyrimkinkmeme dreamwidth" and went to the profile, but the most recent entry looked to me to be Nov 2012, so did the meme just move back here to LJ settle, or am I missing something?

Multi-prompt fill?

(Anonymous) 2013-03-28 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
How would you go about posting a fill that incorporates more than one prompt? I mean, so that all the prompts get "credit."

(Anonymous) 2013-04-02 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
This one is mistagged on the archive: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=4853267#t4853267

It's tagged as F!DB and het, but is M!DB (and will be slash). It was just recently added, if that helps. Thank you!

Can I or Can't I?

(Anonymous) 2013-04-10 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just wondering if I could fill my own requests w/out anyone seconding it because there wasn't an answer in the FAQ and A section.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-14 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Potential a!anon has a question.

I'm considering about filling a few old fills and wondering how one would get it show up on Delicious. Is there something I need to post to catch the archiver's attention? Thanks!

Series Tag!

(Anonymous) 2013-04-14 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hello there, mods! I'd like to request a series tag for Cailean, who's worked his way into a few of my fics now. Tag could just be series:cailean.

So far he's been in two fics:

Under Cover (M!DB/Onmund + Drevis Neloren):
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=4180614&#t4180614

A Dangerous Game (M!DB/Farengar):
http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/3603.html?thread=3381267&#t3381267

Thanks!

I replied Anon to a comment left on my prompt on the Oblivion page and got the message that it was marked as Spam. I'm not a Spambot(or I wasn't last I checked) so I just wanted to let you know that it's a genuine comment on this thread:

Might be worth keeping an eye on this, should this get out of hand.

Series Tag

(Anonymous) 2013-05-17 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Could I please get a series tag for my character, Nandita? So far she's in two fics:

Scenery: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5316486#t5316486

Tag should just be series:nandita. Thank you!

I posted in the wrong place; that's what I get for posting at five in the morning, I suppose. Here is a link to the misplaced posts (3a and 3b):

Possible Plagarism?

(Anonymous) 2013-05-27 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey Mods,

I was browsing the Flat View and noticed that there had been a prompt filled which seemed vaguely familiar. A quick search and it is virtually a carbon copy of a (now ancient) NWN2 fanfiction story.

Obviously because of the anon system I have no idea of whether or not this is posted by the original author or whether it's plagarism, but I hate to see others taking credit for someone elses work...and have no idea what the kinkmeme etiquette is for these situations. And nobody likes a whinger :S

The prompt is http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5387142#t5387142

and the original NWN2 story is http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3284583/1/One-Lousy-Joke

if you want to double-check.

Thanks

Spam?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-01 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
It seems like someone is trying to spam our beautiful meme with viagra ads.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't really want to see such ads framing my posts or fills. It ruins the whole meme experience for me.

Could you please delete these and keep an eye out if any other such ads show up? Thank you in advance.

delicious mistag

I've been trying to post here about a delicious mistag, but the post keeps getting marked as spam (maybe because there's a link in it?)

Spam, Story Missing and Tag Derp!

(Anonymous) 2013-06-08 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi mods!

I posted on here a yesterday about my story 'Fire and Stone' but it was marked spam due to links!

Just wanted to check that everything went through alright...?

Delete please + Series tag

(Anonymous) 2013-06-13 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hi mods, thanks for being awesome. Sadly, I've been less than awesome lately-

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5553542#t5553542

Nonny fail!posted at 2 am, making it it's own little comment, rather than a reply to the OP's prompt. Already been posted where it needs to go. Not urgent, I'm just a little embarrassed.

Also, could you tag Awakening and He Said He Had A Story with the tag 'Nora'.

Awakening - http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=4701574#t4701574

He Said He Had A Story - http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=5553798#t5553798


Thank you kindly!

another spam filter complaint, sorry mods...

(Anonymous) 2013-06-20 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried to "recommend a crack story" for the Recommend a Fill Thread and my comment was marked as spam because of links. I didn't think that would happen with skyrimkinkmeme links, but I don't know how the spam filter here works. Darn.

I have also had spammed out comments appear in a kink meme thread months after I tried to post them, so I don't want to accidentally double post?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-23 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I have all the sympathy in the world for the person who posted this prompt, but I feel like this kind of real life TMI is really not appropriate on a casual anonymous kink meme. Especially with no warnings for people who get triggered by this stuff.

There is some weird garbled spam stuff near the end of the Comment!Fic thread.

Delicious broke?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-10 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Everything I've tried resulted in a 404 error on the delicious for any Skyrimkinkmeme stuff....


is my computer derping, or is Delicious gone??

A!Anon fail

(Anonymous) 2013-07-13 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like I have to apologize in advance for troubling you with this.

A few days ago I updated one of my fills (this one here: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2438.html?thread=4410246#t4410246 ) and had been wondering why it wouldn't show up on Delicious. Then I realized that I had posted the new parts as a response to the prompt itself and not the first part of the fill, so you probably didn't get a notification for this and can't link it to delicious properly.

Is there any way we could still make the fill show up in one piece on delicious?

I wouldn't mind reposting the new parts in the correct place if that's what it took.

I really am sorry about this, especially since you took the time to explain how we're supposed to update our fills.

I swear it won't happen again.
