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.

Tagging/Format Mess

I'm unsure how to tag correctly, so I dun goofed. But, could you also delete the first fill, as I didn't realize LJ doesn't support the tab key like my word pad does and have a revised version under it.
Thank you and sorry for the trouble. :c
Re: Tagging/Format Mess
Date: 2012-05-03 04:24 am (UTC)I have deleted the first post (1/?) and made sure your fill was tagged properly in the archives. Look it over and make sure all is how you want it, if not, do let us know.
:)

Re: Tagging/Format Mess
Date: 2012-05-03 09:19 pm (UTC)Is there a tutorial to learn how to tag things correctly?
Also, I think it should be tagged as filled, I forgot to mention that. Haha, can you tell that I'm not used to LJ yet? :P
Re: Tagging/Format Mess
Date: 2012-05-04 02:57 am (UTC)Tagging is relatively simple. Characters used or appearing in a major way are mentioned, as well as their races and the relationship type involved (such as het, slash, or femslash).
The last of which you need to mention are kinks. If your fill involves a major kink, please add it so that way the archivers can make it easier for people trying to find something along that scenario (common kinks are: size[large endowments or height], hurt/comfort[angst with an LI or friend giving comfort], and crack[humor].)
Of course there are a number of kinks you can add, even one that isn't already a known one.
If you have any further issues, feel free to ask. :) I will make sure you fill is marked as "filled" and double check to make sure the comment is properly deleted.

Re: Tagging/Format Mess
Date: 2012-05-05 05:13 am (UTC)When expressing them in your fill it's best to add them either at the start of your fill, or the end, though many add prevalent ones at the start of the post they are part of.
To do this, the best way is to used the small html code < small > (without the spaces), and to end it use < /small >. Between the 'small' html add 'tags: example, example, example...'.
Now if you're really aiming to make the mods and fellow Anons happy, you'll add a summary for your fill as well.
I hope this helps, and if not I apologize for my misunderstanding. :) Good luck.
