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.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-20 01:39 am (UTC)(link)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.

You're absolutely correct. I'm not sure how this one wasn't already pointed out to begin with. I've added the proper tags such as - kink:violence, kink:gore and kink:cannibalism. Hopefully that will keep those that do not want to read such things from taking a look-see. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I may need to add bold reminder about trigger warnings and proper tagging of ones fills for the next month.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)Obviously, it could be extremely cathartic for someone who has been sexually assaulted in real life to write a fantasy story of that nature. I don't want to criticise someone else's choice of subject matter. The main problem I had with it was the lack of warning, because I just wasn't expecting the story to go in that direction at all.
no subject
All kinks are welcome no matter how gruesome, violent or disgusting they can appear to someone else whom doesn't enjoy that sort of subject matter, but what can be triggering (sexual abuse, violence and so on) needs to be properly tagged as always. This is and should always be a place where people can enjoy the kinks that they enjoy and be aware of what each story entails so they can avoid the ones they don't want to read. The story is question needed warning.
I'll just have to be more aware of each fill incase the author forgets to place the proper tags.
Also, this thread is for any question or concern - it's better to mention something your unsure of than not, especially since this is an anonymous meme. So, don't worry in the future if something bothers you and you'd like to mention it. :)

Sorry!
(Anonymous) 2013-01-20 02:42 am (UTC)(link)Explanations/excuses aside, sorry about that, really. And I don't want to be presumptuous, but as you said you were unsure about reporting it- don't feel bad about reporting this on my behalf- it's the only way I'll learn these things that slip my notice, and I don't want anyone to be triggered by my writing.
Sorry for the extra work caused to the mods, sorry to any who were upset, and I will be more vigilant in future.
Again, apologies.
Re: Sorry!
I'm sure that the new tags and warning on your fill will keep those that do not wish to read away, and attract those that do wish to read. With it being anonymous, not that many people with admit to their mishaps. I'm sure your apology was well noted and appreciated. Thank you for responding regardless. :)
