skyrimkinkmemeIf 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.

A!Anon fail
Date: 2013-07-13 06:21 pm (UTC)A few days ago I updated one of my fills (I can't add the link since livejournal marked this whole comment as spam the last time I tried that; I hope you'll find it like this: Title is "Alone", it's slash, the pairing is M!DB/Romlyn Dreth. It is located on the fourth page of the... fourth page of the meme, near the end. The prompt itself has the header "Requesting Sequel") and had been wondering why it wouldn't show up on Delicious.
Then I realized that I posted the new parts as a Reply to the prompt itself, and not to the first part of the fill, so you probably didn't get a notification for this and can't archive this on 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 if that's what it took.
I'm really sorry, especially since you took the time to explain how we're supposed to update our fills properly.
I swear it won't happen again.
Dreadfully rude anon
Date: 2013-07-14 12:37 pm (UTC)they are bashing the author anon - it's not even constructive criticism, it's flat out atttacking

And got marked as Spam. I assume it's because I included a link in the text of the comment, but it's not spam, just pointing the OP in the direction of something I thought they might enjoy.

Possible Derogatory wording in Prompt
Date: 2013-08-09 04:08 pm (UTC)Maybe they might be advised to change the wording of their Squick list? Otherwise I could imagine a flame war starting over it.

Falskaar prompts and fills?
Date: 2013-08-10 11:13 pm (UTC)It has only recently come out, but the characters would lend themselves very well to the kink meme. Would this be allowed, and if so, would these then be in the DLC thread, or would there have to be a new thread? Because, technically, Falskaar is 'Downloadable Content', even if it isn't an official Bethesda release.

Date: 2013-08-16 02:55 pm (UTC)In order to prevent future incidents such as this, RL promps are now forbidden in this meme. Posting such a prompt will result in it being deleted, without any exceptions or hearings. This meme is a place for people to come and exchange stories with good cheer and a love for writing, NOT to bash people you don't like. There are plenty of other websites for that, and this is not one of them.
We hope that this result pleases you despite our slow reaction speed.

Prompt in wrong location.
Date: 2013-09-09 04:34 pm (UTC)Marked as spam?
Date: 2013-10-03 07:02 pm (UTC)Was it because of the link or is there some other logical reason for this that I have missed?
My first fill disappeared
Date: 2013-10-04 12:24 pm (UTC)Re: My first fill disappeared
Date: 2013-12-10 07:43 pm (UTC)the site does that occasionally; usually if you comment on the page again (I normally read through another fill and comment on it, if it all possible), and then once that comment has been posted, your fill will pop back up.
Or you can just wait a few hours/days. it should still be there :)
Happy filling~
Merge DLC to main?
Date: 2013-10-05 06:53 am (UTC)URGENT Non-Spam Marked As Spam
Date: 2013-10-05 11:51 pm (UTC)It is important that this is unmarked as Spam ASAP so that I can continue where I left off, as I am still in the process of writing.
There were no links in the piece, and no HTML that I am aware of, so I don't know why it was marked as Spam, in the first place.
