Who goes to kink memes (tmi question)

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
I was showing a friend this and they asked if it was people who were actually kinky or a bunch of virgins (like me lol!). I laughed the question off but now I'm super curious. Are we a bunch of nerds who aren't getting any (I say this with love!) or are people on here actually into & doing the stuff they're posting. Is it a total mix, or are the numbers skewed in one direction? Obviously this is a super personal question but I was curious to see what others had to say or thought

(Anonymous) 2016-01-03 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I would love to fill some Finn/Rey prompts! They're super cute and there isn't nearly enough fic. Please post a link here if you have one you want me to fill.

Kinks

(Anonymous) 2016-01-04 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I know I have quite a few kinks that I would never admit to off anon (a/b/o, mpreg, chastity devices), so I'm curious if anyone else has any kinks they would never own up if asked.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-04 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Has anyone else requested a prompt and had other anons start headcanoning in the comments in a way that....you didn't want the prompt to go?

It makes me feel guilty when people are having fun and someone writes something based off that comment headcanon but it's not something I end up wanting to read. :(

Kylo Ren/Poe -- ship name?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-04 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Does anyone know if this ship has a pairing name? If not, can we collectively come up with one?

(It makes tracking tags SO much easier when everyone's on the same page!)

Chat Room - xposted from the general SW kink meme discussion

(Anonymous) 2016-01-05 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Would any of you guys be interested in starting an IRC channel for this meme? A lot of others have them and they're usually really fun. They're better for anon memes than skype too because nobody has to create an account.

1. If you don't have your own irc client, go to https://mibbit.com/ & click "launch mibbit client."
2. Make sure the box next to "Connect" says "Mibbit [webirc]"
3. Pick any nickname you want. You can change it later or just call yourself anonymous.
4. Next to "Channel" type "#swkink". Don't forget the #.
5. That's it!

(I don't think this is against the rules? But mods feel free to delete if it is.)

Learned my English with fanfiction

I am german and the very reason I am able to communicate with all you guys is harry potter fanfiction.

Do you think the lack of Chewie in shippy fics is due to

(Anonymous) 2016-01-06 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
our discomfort with how much he looks like Earth animals? And doesn't speak a language we can understand, possibly?

Even though he's clearly established as someone who has perfect sentience, cognitive intelligence, romantic/sexual charm, and is thought of as an equal by his peers?

Asking because the scene where he hugs Leia and most especially the scene where he casually steals a jacket because Han said the Starkiller planet was cold made me interested in reading Leia/Chewie, Han/Chewie, and OT3 Leia/Han/Chewie, but then I thought about actually writing it and I borderline disgusted myself. What is going on with my psychology.

Why you ship what you ship

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Out of genuine curiosity, why do you ship certain ships? (I love reading manifestos and things like that in general)

I think the two ships that are my favorites so far are Poe/Finn and Kylo/Hux. Thing is, I didn't even see both of it in the beginning (which is rare, I usually have slash goggles on tight). I only read comments about them and they made so much sense. I think I don't even have to elaborate on Poe/Finn, they're just really cute and I love how much trust and friendliness there has been from the beginning. With Kylo/Hux I read a headcanon that went like "they totally did it once and now it's all awkward with them and they loathe each other" and I could so picture that haha. I love love/hate relationships and that little exchange where Hux saw Kylo's face or the fact that he tracked and rescued him later on are kinda interesting.

I like a lot of pairings too, mostly canon ones (Anakin + Padmé or Han + Leia, and also Finn+Rey I guess if that turns out to be a thing). Another one I really like in the saga is Qui Gonn / Obi Wan.

Please be mindful to not turn this into some kind of bashfest. x3

beta

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
anybody interested in beta reading a fic?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
if obi-wan and anakin's ghosts are both in episode 8 like they're rumored to be, does that mean I'll be able to request ghost!obikin on this kinkmeme in 2017. because I will.

[spoilers] The Big Questions

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[spoilers] <- Idk why you would be here if you hadn't seen the movie already but ya never know.

I'm gonna start the serious theorizing thread here. I'm tired of just seeing buzzfeed theories; I seriously want to know where you guys, the character/relationship-focused side of the fandom, think the new series is going. (And I think everybody probably has some thoughts to share.) I have some thoughts myself but first I'll just post the questions that I think are key. Maybe if we work together we can figure it all out...

1. Who are Rey's parents? Why did Anakin's lightsaber choose her?

2. Where did Snoke come from? Why did he choose Ben Solo? What is he training him to be?

3. (Less important) Will Kylo Ren get a redemption, or will he get even worse?

Rey's characterization in fic

(Anonymous) 2016-01-07 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think the tendency to ship Rey as asexual or a lesbian is out of genuine interest to see those interpretations or because it's an easy way to get her out of the way of Finn/Poe without bashing her?

I only ask because I've seen this happen in a lot of other fandoms where people ship the main slash pairing but don't want to bash the female character, and she's almost always written as asexual or a lesbian with an OC or minor character. The only discussion I've seen about this is that some people view her as asexual because she didn't want to hold Finn's hand (which, okay, I wouldn't want to hold the hand of a stranger I'd just met either), but that seems like a pretty flimsy excuse since she has no problem physically interacting with Finn later and asexuality doesn't mean not wanting physical affection.

I guess I prefer this over the trend of bashing any female character who came between the major slash pairing and turning her into a raging jerk, but it sometimes it still makes me wary.

Why do I love bottom!Poe so much?
He's so cool and manly, he's the best pilot of the resistance, he's the oldest among the new main characters of tfa etc etc...but somehow the idea of him bottoming is so damn delicious :D

Has anyone here seen Top Gun?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-08 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Literally all I can think about is how Poe and BB8 are Maverick and Goose, while Kylo Ren and Hux (or Snoke if you're into that sort of thing) are Iceman and Slider.

Finn and Rey can both be Charlie, of course.

Time zones?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-08 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
What time zone is everybody in? I'm EST (-5) and I've noticed that a lot of kmeme activity goes on while I'm asleep, like 6am to noon. It just got me wondering.

First Fandoms?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-08 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
What was everyone's first fandom? How old were you? What made you go search out fandom or fic? I"m always really interested to see how people stumble across fandoms.

Is Star Wars anyone's first fandom?

Doh

(Anonymous) 2016-01-09 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I,for some reason, have spent all this time thinking Maz was Mara Jade. I just forgot her name and when she showed up I thought "hey that might be it" and then she had Luke's lightsaber.

Omg. I have spent like 2 weeks trying to figure out what their kids would look like and if we would get a human/small orange alien hybrid.

No offence Maz, but I am so relieved. I was a little skeptical on this pairing.

AUs

(Anonymous) 2016-01-09 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
How do people feel about AUs in this fandom? Some fandoms seem to love them more than others but from what I've seen there's an equal amount of non-AU and AU fic for Star Wars.

Did I miss something

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
What's with the "saving sherlock" tee shirts and sweaters with a picture of a german shepard on them?

I've seen them all over lately. Mostly on middle aged men.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 02:20 am (UTC)(link)

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 08:03 am (UTC)(link)

(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Does anyone else ever get turned on when they're writing porn or am I just really messed up?

How many of you are new to fandom?

Kylo Ren - convenience food for Hurt/Comfort lovers

(Anonymous) 2016-01-11 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I love hurt/comfort!

My theory, why I like Kylo (or everyother sad puppy outhere) so much is that he hurting already.
"Pre-hurt! - just add comfort!"
Instructions: Remove helmet and apply Rey. For steam release stap packaging with lightsaber. Let them stir at high temperature until plot thickens. Season with issues of your liking. Enjoy!
