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.

I was considering working on a fill for this now deleted prompt, but i can't remember it all off hand, so now it's not going to happen.

But i do have a question, how exactly would one acceptably word "Child whore" ? Given that it was the most accurate way of describing the circumstances the prompt DB was in?

Could we have this prompt removed, or something done about it?

I'm not OK with making fun of serious mental illness or sufferers thereof. I'd be OK with sensitive exploration of having a condition like that or being the spouse or follower of a sufferer, but using it as a source of comedy's horrible. Also discriminatory/likely triggering for any memers affected by one of the disorders listed.

I don't normally report posts to the mods, but that one really bothered me. If you could do something about it, I'd appreciate it.

Hi there, I filled this request: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/4580.html?thread=8444644#t8444644 the comment contained links and therefore got flagged as spam, just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
(also, I accidentally sent it twice, because I thought that changing the dots into (.)'s in the url would work, but instead it got flagged as well; so if you could please post only the first message? Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience!)

can the good mods please put up a link to page 6 in the sidebar? i honestly couldn't find it until i thought to go to delicious and click on an unfilled prompt.

thanks!

Hello mods? I was wondering if it was possible to remove the Fill I did here? I posted it without warnings or really proper tagging on what goes on and I upset the OP. Would like it removed so I can possibly do it properly in the future. Is that okay?

Untagged fill

(Anonymous) 2014-05-31 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I filled a request two weeks ago, but it's still tagged as unfilled in the archive, so I suppose it slipped through the cracks. The prompt is titled F!Altmer/F!Altmer. :)
Thank you!

(also, I forgot to write the tags in the post proper: char:Nirya, char:Faralda, kink:femslash, kink:fingering. Sorry!)

Filled prompt

(Anonymous) 2014-06-04 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I filled a prompt in a few days ago but it's not up yet. It's a dub con with submission and loyalty kinks. I'm not sure if it's just hidden or slipped through the cracks.

Tagged with Ulfberth war-Bear and F! DB.

Could we please get a rule against talking about one's personal life, traumatic histories, bad day, or TMI about being horny or not IRL? I feel like it's disruptive to the requirement that this be an anon meme, and I sure don't want to be told all about someone's animals being euthanized or how they were abused as a child (thank you for deleting that when it happened, btw) when I just track this meme for the sake of shallow pornographic fandom funtime.

It also makes prompts feel like they're trying to guilt-trip people into filling it when the OP overshares some gigantic sob story that has nothing to do with anything. :/

I linked to an example of what I'm talking about, which includes literal guilt-tripping about how they "need" fills as a result.

A!A from the thread in the title here. I have a really bad typo in the last paragraph of my fill (part 9f), which makes me quite disappointed in myself haha. *facepalm* Is there any possibility that "allowed" in the last paragraph before "The End" could be changed to "aloud?" I will be so happy if anyone has the time to fix that for me!

Also since the fill is complete, I think there are a few additional tags that apply to the fill as well:

kink:rough_sex
kink:revenge
kink:oral

Thank you so much!

Question about series tag?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-06 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I often post multiple fills that each have a different dragonborn. Can I still have a series tag? ...Even though I don't really post series?

Anonymity of the Meme

(Anonymous) 2014-07-08 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi Mods,

I was just wondering about your policy on anonymity. I get series tags but it seems like a lot more anons of the meme are identifying themselves when they comment or post and, not to be a downer, but I thought the meme was supposed to be about anonymous prompters and posters and not having identification.

The series tags are great on delicious but it feels like now there are just "writers" of the meme under names and most prompters ask for them instead of whoever or they announce they will do a fill and it sort of takes away from others being interested. I understand some writers are popular and some anons would love fills from them but it feels like it's becoming a lot less anonymous.

Is there a policy on this? Or could there maybe be a discussion about how much identification is too much?

Urgent! Need posts deleted

I'm the author!anon at http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2095.html?thread=7853359#t7853359

It seems I accidentally posted some of chapter 2 in the middle of chapter 1 (???), and I need those posts deleted asap so I don't accidentally spread confusion (or spoilers)

Thank you so much!

(The posts are 2a through 2e)

Sorry if you've already seen this - my browser crashed right as I was posting, and I've waited for more than several hours but haven't seen the post come up, so I'm reposting.

I accidentally posted the second chapter of my fill in the middle of the first chapter and am hoping it can be removed really soon before some unfortunate soul stumbles on it and gets confused, or before it is updated on the filled prompts list (and thus results in a potentially large quantity of confused souls).

The posts needing to be deleted are Fear Not The Night [2a] through [2e]. Thank you so much! :)

Quick Question

(Anonymous) 2014-07-13 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hi mods, I was just wondering - since I didn't see it in the FAQ - what is the policy on asking for FILLS to be removed that you've done but aren't satisfied with? Would it be like other memes where once placed, it can't be erased or is it up for debate?

Eh. I'm not sure if the Mod has anything to do with Delicious or what, so I'm just going to say; I'm having Trouble with Delicious. I can click any of "Tag, Tag bundles, date, or extra fillers" but when the tags show up below, and I click on them, it doesn't do anything. I've tried logging on to LiveJournal to see if I need to be, but this doesn't solve the problem. Neither does using a different computer help.

Is Delicous having problems, or...?

I forgot to tag this fill. And also, is there a tag for rewrites like this?

Series:Buttered_Toast

(Anonymous) 2014-07-24 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I know youre busy mod but i need to bring this up. Theres been a few times i see comments now of someone commending someone on writing something that doesnt squick them. I saw it with "thanks for writing consensual sex" which sounded like a real slight against writers on here who dont write that and now theres "thanks for not writing this x word because it squicks me". I personally dont use the word but its sort of rude that some anon is complimenting writers who dont use a word that squicks them as if others who do should be ashamed or stories who dont squick them need to be told as a compliment. Whats up with that? Should that be allowed? I get squicks but praising someone on not using something instead of talking about the actual story... ??? I might be being stupid but its just jarring to see the comments praising authors for not writing someones squicks instead of hey this story is awesome, etc. feel free to delete this too mod.

Edit posts while Anonymous

(Anonymous) 2014-07-28 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi,

I just posted a fill and for some reason the spacing between my paragraphs have been ignored. My fill looks more or less like a wall of text. I don't like it and I'm sure my readers won't like it either.
Is there a way to edit texts after posting them?

Thank you!

Prompt was there and now gone, did I do something wrong?

(Anonymous) 2014-07-29 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello! This is my first time using a community like this and I just put up a prompt that showed up as being successfully posted and was listed under the second-most recent comment as if everything was fine, but I just checked it maybe 20ish minutes later and it seems to be completely gone. There were no links and as far as I know the content was very tame, is there a reason it may have disappeared? I didn't add tags but I made sure it was anon, I don't know if that could have an effect.

I don't want to repost if it's just a temporary problem but I also want to know if it was probably deleted, and if so what I could do to fix it. Like I said I've never posted to a kink meme thing before so I'm really not sure how things work. ;; I followed the directions pretty exactly but I could have messed up!
