Also the other SW kink meme looks to be even slower than us, so I think it is just normal that this is happening. We are actually doing a lot better than we could be doing. Although considering how dead that other meme is, maybe one way to bring more fillers/prompts could be to open this meme to prompts based on characters outside of just TFA ones. With Rogue One's trailer coming up in June (I think?), that's likely gonna end up refueling the fandom. I also think we could use some new ships and characters. I don't know about others, but I wouldn't mind.
That's true, I'm actually excited to see how Rogue 1 revitalizes the SW fandom again!
A long-term problem, I think, is that as of now this meme is called tfa-kink, so is it really the most logical place for Rogue 1 (and even episodes 8 & 9) prompts? or will they get separate memes? if so, then this particular meme (and probably those others) will be rather short-lived.
I don't think it matters. The avengers kink is called that but let's prompts from non-avengers films as long as they're within the universe. If the mods changes the rule to allow prompts for the other films I don't think people will think too much about the name. I don't think separate communities would be a good idea. As I said, from what I've seen the other Star Wars kinkmeme isn't very active. If more kinkmemes start showing up activity will likely get worse and it'll be harder for fans to keep track of everything. As you said we will just be creating very short lived memes.
I'm not a mod, but I think it's something they should consider.
Rogue One is what's putting me off the Star Wars fandom. It's marketting ar another Hunger Games/Divergent rebel girl thing and I kind of hate that they're taking it on to Star Wars's coattails.
I'm not making any judgements. I wasn't that into TFA based in the trailer and here I am. It also looks like it will have a strong supporting cast of great actors so whenever the lead is good or bad doesn't make a lot of a difference.
It's more the pandering to a perceived demographic that annoys me. It looks like they took a standardized plot and character and slapped Star Wars stickers all over it. I'll go see it, but it's going to have an uphill struggle to make me see past that.
I just feel that everything they did right with Rey, they were set to do wrong with that new female main character. I'm so over the "bitchy edgy rebel gurrrl" trope because it feels like this is the only characterisation they think a cardboard cut-out ~strong female character~ can have. It's equally overdone as the mid-thirties stubbly/grungy white guy main character.
