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.

Delicious mistag

(Anonymous) 2011-12-07 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Psst. Seems to be an issue here. You have this prompt tagged as Morrowind.

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/2095.html?thread=172335#t172335

Should be Oblivion and/or Skyrim, since anon is asking for characters from both games (or possibly they said Dragonborn, but meant CoC).

(Anonymous) 2011-12-09 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Just want to say thank you, Mod! You rock for putting all this together. Best luck and wishes because this place so needed to happen. <3

Seconding the thanks oh yes-

(Anonymous) 2011-12-10 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to throw my hat in here too and say thanks, mod. You're awesome for keeping track of all of us! Thank you so much!

Delicious tags - Misspelled race?

(Anonymous) 2011-12-15 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)

A few fills were tagged as 'Brenton', should be Breton.

Flat View

(Anonymous) 2012-01-01 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I wanted to suggest making a link to the flat view of the meme. That way people can see the most recent comments/fills. I've always thought a flat view link was really helpful. :)

(Anonymous) 2012-01-10 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I posted a prompt yesterday which was automatically screened on my posting it. Possibly because it was partially inspired by a mod, so I linked the mod in question? I assumed it would be unscreened after being looked at to make sure it wasn't spam, but it's still nowhere to be found. Is there a rule against linking things? I checked for one before I made my prompt and didn't see anything.

Delete Request

(Anonymous) 2012-01-20 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
If you could kindly delete this, that'd be great: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=712295#t712295

I hit "enter" too soon when I was editing the title.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-20 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Might be me being stupid / unobservant but are there any threads about how you go about laying out / replying to a fill? I'm kind of tempted to fill some of these delicious unfilled but am concerned about formatting / how to go about doing things... (Guess what I'm asking for is a 'how to begin for beginners' type thing...)

Oh! And thanks so much for this kink-ness. Loving the chance to write a bit of smut about my fave game of the past few months! :D <333

Whoops

(Anonymous) 2012-01-22 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Please delete this: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=746343#t746343 I replied to part 3 instead of part 1, and the formatting will bug me if it's not fixed.

Thanks!

Postings not showing up.

(Anonymous) 2012-01-26 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Dear Mod,

This thread (http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=758631#t758631) seems to be having problems with posts not showing up. I know LJ doesn't always show them straight away, especially if the poster isn't logged in, but I don't know if it's that or something else. I posted a fill for the above link yesterday, and according to the flat view it's there, along with some other comments, but they're not showing up on the thread itself. Just wondering if this was a delay, a problem with LJ, or my internet being silly.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Slightly Confused Anon

Delete Request (whoopsadoodle.)

(Anonymous) 2012-01-28 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hello my lovely mods of loveliness. I come to you this night to ask a favor.
I posted this-here segment of story without using the proper title format: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=840551#t840551

I've since re-posted it, and would very much like it if the bit in the provided link could be removed. Thank you muchly! :D

Should have read this first

(Anonymous) 2012-01-29 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to fill a post and In my frustration at format confusion, I tried to post it about 4 times. It doesn't seem to be showing up. I have two questions:

If it's hidden to me, can you delete the extra posts (if they worked) so I don't look like a fool when I finally figure out how to post?

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=821607#t821607

My second question is, how long can a fill be. For what it's worth, my prepared fill is 15 pages. Too long?

Delicious Tags

(Anonymous) 2012-01-31 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a big deal, but a few wonky tags I came across while browsing the delicious archive and I thought you'd like to know!

char:angst (instead of kink:angst)
char:eric_the_slayer & char:erik_the_slayer
char:farengar & char:farengar_secret-fire
char:mai'q (m'aiq)
char:naz & char:nazir
char:sheogorath & char:shogorath
kink:beastiality (bestiality)
race:Orismer (Orsimer)
also there are tags "es" and "kink"

...I browse a lot, eheh.

How to Post Anonymously

(Anonymous) 2012-01-31 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Could you drop some instructions on how to post anonymously into the FAQ? People seem confused; it has gotten more difficult since LJ made changes.

Fill-A-Thon Prompt Cut-Off Point

(Anonymous) 2012-02-01 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Just a thought I had: should the time zone of the prompt cut-off time be posted since one person's midnight may not be another's?

archive tag - tolfdir

(Anonymous) 2012-02-01 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I requested the recent Tolfdir prompt but for some reason the title and tag on the archive say "Tolfdire." Was hoping you could fix this! Thanks~

Oops

(Anonymous) 2012-02-05 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Please delete this: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=993895#t993895

I was trying to preview, not post it yet! It's got some errors in it!

Thanks!

Updates not showing up on Delicious?

(Anonymous) 2012-02-06 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Sooooooo a few days ago, I finished this-here prompt: http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=680295#t680295

There are twenty-two parts in total, but Delicious only seems to have updated to 17b-?
If a mod could fix that up for me when they have a moment, I'd be grateful and try to stuff cake through my monitor as a reward or something.

Request to edit posts...

(Anonymous) 2012-02-09 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there any way I can edit my fill posts to fix some formatting errors I've only just noticed?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Could you please delete this:

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=1079655#t1079655

Upon re-reading I realized that I left out a few crucial paragraphs/sentences.

Thanks, mods!

I've posted a revised version.

One more delete?

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Goodness. I need this deleted:

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=1158503

I've made the mistake before, but preview != post. I meant to preview and re-read to catch things like incomplete sentences. Whoops.

Thanks a ton, mods!

Confused anon

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
So I tried posting a story here:

http://skyrimkinkmeme.livejournal.com/1639.html?thread=358503#t358503

but it's not showing up on the comments page unless I press the "thread" page.

Is that normal?

(Anonymous) 2012-02-16 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hi mod!

I left a prompt on Skyrim page 2 a few days ago that was screened. (There was a link to the Skyrim wiki, which is probably the culprit.) Could you unscreen it please, if you missed it?

Unless it accidentally posted logged in or something. Please delete if that's the case, as I value my sweet, sweet anonymous magic.

Prompt comment

(Anonymous) 2012-02-17 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey mod, I don't know if this will get out of hand but I have to agree that this comment shouldn't be there.
