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.

Hi
I tried to recommend a fill and it was marked as spam. Can I get a tutorial on how to use that page? I'm new to the Meme and still trying to work things out. Thank You.

Misspelling

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I was wondering if I could fix a spelling error on my first fill. I misspelled Galmar's name(spelled it Galmore). I realize such can be off putting to the reader and wonder If I can edit it somehow?.=)
Thank You

Fill Post Incorrectly Marked as Spam

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello,

I was just posting an update to the fill I am currently writing. After posting part 5g, I received the message "Your anonymous comment has been added. According to this journal's settings, it was marked as spam." I am not sure why it was flagged, and I will need that part up so I can finish the chapter I am currently on.

My fill is titled "The Spring Wind That Blew Through Dragonsreach” F!OC/Farengar Secret-Fire, (partnumber)." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
A!A

I have some missing words, misspelling,missing quotation marks, Please help. =)

Mod Requests - Allowed or not?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, I have a question: Can we request pairings that have characters from mods? If yes, where?

I downloaded Interesting NPC´s and have about a billion plot ideas and itches (Most of them involving Rumarin :3 ). A mod this size should really get some "official recognition". Can I request fills anywhere?

Please delete my prompt.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-25 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm getting nothing but hassle for it and it's just not worth it.

A prompt has received some seriously inflammatory responses and wank is being generated.

This prompt:

(Anonymous) 2013-10-30 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Could we maybe get a rule forbidding people from taking up the comment count with useless 'do you ~mind~ if I write another fic for your prompt' conversations? It honestly serves no purpose except for seeking validation. I don't think anyone in the history of anything has ever said 'no you can't.' So the fact that it's even treated like a question that needs to be asked is ridiculous.

People can either post their stories or not post them, that should really be it.

Allow Post Marked Spam

(Anonymous) 2013-11-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Hello,

My fic "Faas Aaz" was labeled as spam for part 6A because I included a generic link about my fic being on fanfiction. I PMed the skyrimkinkmod a few weeks ago but didn't receive a response, so I'm hoping this is the next best place to go. Should I just repost or wait for the manual override?

Here's the fic: http : //skyrimkinkmeme DOT livejournal DOT com/1639.html?thread=822119&#t822119


Thank you very much!

Possible wank ahead - URGENT

(Anonymous) 2014-01-08 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
The story Delivering Vengence (sic) is a sequel to Planting the Seed, by a different author. However, unless the authors have made contact somewhere outside the anonymous comments, the new author doesn't have permission from the old author. And they're using the original author's OC.

I don't think this is deliberate wrongdoing. The new author posted asking for permission on 4th December 2013. But a lack of response is not the same thing as permission being granted, especially as people leave the fandom. The person who created Elayne might not even be around any more.

So I would suggest that unless the new author has proof of permission being granted from elsewhere (e.g. in a comment on fanfiction.net or Archive Of Our Own), the new story should be deleted and reposted using their own OC.

Hi:
I started this fill Wrath of the Reachmen awhile ago and need the whole thing deleted so I can edit and re-post. I'm having a hard time getting past the spam filter. I would love to continue this fill so lets see if it works this time. I'm going to add stars and spaces plus the dot thing hopefully this works.
http : // skyrim kinkmeme {dot} * live journal{dot} *com/4295{dot} *html{question mark} reply to=* 7149511

Ok if this works you have to remove the brackets, stars, spaces and put the dots and question mark back. Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Isn't this sort of negative comment about a kink against the rules? I'm pretty sure prompts have been removed before for talking about how bad and wrong and hell-worthy they are.

Especially since they're asking for something incredibly common and tame by this meme's standards, which means they're trashing a lot of other prompts, fills and anons in the process. It's not cute.

The DLC Page

(Anonymous) 2014-02-04 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been brought up before, but I thought it deserved another hearing.

Is it time to merge the Base game/DLC threads? There won't be any new DLC. The newest one has been out for a year. It seems a little silly to keep trying to hide spoilers. It's just not a spoiler a year after the fact.

The above prompt has no trigger warnings and in fact the prompt title that meme-trackers got right in their inbox as a notif title involves the phrase "child whore."

Please do something about this ASAP.
