People need to stop over-policing prompts.
Don't cry racism because someone says someone's black or Latino. Don't cry at all. Be polite, not condescending.
Don't scream for the mod unless there's an actual problem. And even then, just report the problem, don't contribute.
Crying mod makes the whole fandom weaker. Be friends, not dicks. Ykinmkato, people. Live it, love it, quit wanking (tm)

It's the two main pairings duking it out, Destiel in unprompted fics, Wincest in the Kinkmeme, and slave AUs and High school AUs out the wahzoo.

Too bad we're wanking it like the Teen Wolf fandom right now.

Nothing good comes without the bad, but this kinkmeme has just the worst people out front and center. Any kinkmemes where this has died down? The SPN one had a small flare up recently, and I'm just trying to get away from the rampant blah coming out of this one.

No particular fandom in mind, just want to be around some non-wanky people for a while... Maybe I'll even be introduced to a nicer fandom to hang around for awhile.

If only people took half the energy they used in the discussion thread and put it towards fills/leaving nice comments on fills. Imagine what that world would be like lol.

But seriously, have others noticed a sharp decrease in lack of comments on fills? There's been a few times where I'm one of maybe three people total who have commented. I would say the meme was winding down, but the prompts keep coming in, and the discussion is always going.

Like I know some older fandoms had them.
alternatively, I see it has been ok to ask here, if one has lost a certain fic, they knew they had read.

but I would love to follow a community where fen ask about existiing fics all the time (as in contrast to the prompt posts), which they have lost. or cannot remember where having read that story.

Like a community for all SW verses, OT, prequel, TFA, novels, comics, you name it, one is allowed to ask there.
does such a community exists?

any recs for Finn, Poe, and/or Rey falling to the dark side?
any variations, and combinations, any reasons, might be het, gen, slash, ace, trans etcetc.
I just saw this prompt:
http://tfa-kink.dreamwidth.org/3467.html?thread=6241675#cmt6241675
and I really feeling a craving for any of the new light side generation falling to the dark side.
it doesn't have to have any snoke, kylo or hux in it.
in that sense, the road to the hell is paved with good intentions.

I honestly think innocent and naive virgin Finn is just a trope that people like, and most people are aware that that does not fully represent his character from the movie.

Could we freeze for a tiny 24 hours when we reach 1000 comments for prompt 4? Maybe I'm too old for this but I can't read all the prompts at this rate..

What are your biggest hurdles as a writer? Do you struggle with motivation, plot, dialogue, description, editing, criticism, etc.? I'm just curious. Personally, I struggle with self-motivation and writing purposeful dialogue.

I remember a while back people complaining about logged in posters because they were "doing it for attention" but didn't it occur to them that people stay logged in on kink memes so they know when somebody responds to their prompts or fills? I still get responses from fics on kink memes I posted in 2011, and sometimes kink memes benefit from people who come back to them after a long time because they get an email saying somebody wants more.

Extremely old prompts also get fills after four years, and when it's all on anon and nobody's watching out, nobody notices anymore.

Also I've made some amazing friends from way back who I recognized in later fandoms because we both stayed logged in on kink memes.

If it was ever about attention, then why doesn't everybody just log in all the time?

Because it's not about attention. It's about keeping track of prompts and fills even when life gets busy and you forget to check back, and getting updates even years down the line.

Obviously that won't happen here, with all the anon wank piling on logged in users causing the mandatory anon rule.

So on that note, anybody know a TFA or Star Wars kink meme with less wank?

Sometimes I can't tell if fills are meant to be jokes in response to a prompt, intended crack, or if the author meant for it to be serious and I have no idea how to leave a comment on those fills.

So you're actually breaking the rules by wanking about ships you don't like

FYI

"Play Nice" is also written on top of every prompt post so being an asshole is also Not Allowed

Seriously though

The wankers could all go fuck off there and wank with each other unmodded, and everyone else could actually use this place as a kink meme.

I'm trying to isolate character themes and am having trouble. Rey's theme is easy, it has it's own track, but I can't seem to pick out Finn's or Poe's (if he got one) or even Kylo's. Can anyone with a better ear for music and access to the soundtrack give a track and timestamp for where to listen for everyone else's character themes?

:(

I dislike the prevalence of Millicent as much as anyone, but wish people would stop negging those prompts and posting ones that bash the stupid cat. It just encourages the Millicenters to fight back. Don't respond at all, Millicent doesn't exist so just scroll past the non-existent prompts.

I've been writing a lot of smut lately and I feel like it's getting repetitive/dull so I'm searching for good smut fics/scenes to read for inspiration. What are some of the best smut scenes you've ever read, regardless of fandom? What makes your favorite smut scenes your favorite?

I have never heard it used outside of today on this meme as a descriptor for some kind of behaviour. It's making me think of Popeye and grizzled old fishermen and Bovril.

I was actually wondering what are people favorite things about the kink meme so far?

What's something about this kink meme that you appreciate the most?

What draws you to this meme specifically?

I actually wanted to thank the Mod (I believe it's only one mod, but correct me if I'm wrong) for creating a "Force Awakens" specific kink meme. One of my personal favorite things and something I appreciate about this meme is that it's mainly about the characters in this film specifically.

I really like Phasma, but I don't like it when she's written sounding like Data. She doesn't have much dialogue, but she doesn't sound like that.

I'm trying to find a unique voice for my Phasma right now; the story I'm working on is really Phasma-centric, and there's a lot I want to say with Phasma that I'm puzzling out. I'm really fond of characters who code-switch, and I have a good idea of what Phasma sounds like when she's kicking ass but I'm still trying to pin down who she is when she's at home, so to speak.

What's your process for character voice?

If I was a mod I'd freeze everything for two weeks until people learned not to be dicks to each other. Where is all this hatefulness coming from?

Ok so how many of us post absolutely no fills at all, only discussions and comments?

Sometimes I see prompts I may be able to do, but then is afraid of my poor writing quality, or the tone veering off too much from OP's intent.

Then I just end up doing self-fills. Can't offend myself anymore than I already do right?

Why so delicious?

And especially during the film, when the Finalizer had that full 3D shot. Such a giant slice of pizza.

Kylo Ren and Han Solo: they’re just like us! !

(ugly rant) (cleaned up to represent the true problem)

Reminds me of the SPN kinkmeme way back when
