Re: Fandom Etiquette

[(Anonymous)]

I made a prompt on a kink meme that was filled, which is awesome. However, after reading the story, I wanted the main character to be informed what he did wrong and see his reaction to it. I did say something about this in the prompt but there was other stuff too, which is what the Filler went for.

So, I don't want to be an entitled jackass, and I certainly wouldn't demand more. I personally really dislike comments that come across as only wanting more (like that's the only reason they commented) and not appearing grateful for what is there. But I recently read a bunch of stuff about commenting that's been going around tumblr and some authors seemed very pleased with getting this kind of thing. They take it as a sign of interest. And some authors seem to take it as just an additional prompt, which is what I would hope to convey.

Basically, is there a way to ask if there could be another short one-shot exploring what happened next without sounding entitled or pushy? Or is there a way to feel out an author's willingness to be given an additional prompt (I feel like even asking can come across as pushy)? Or should I just thank them and move on?

Maybe ask them if they are open to critique but don't say much beyond that before they respond.

It's hard to tell if you don't know a person though, my instinct is to say thank them and move on. You didn't pay for this story so it can be something that can very easily go into entitled and pushy territory.

Whatever you decide be super polite about it.

Just say to them you're grateful and that you loved the fic and end with a small mention that, although you know it's finished, it made you want to see what happened next.
If the author doesn't plan on writing more, then they won't feel pressured; but if they feel like writing more they could see it as an encouragement.

It's a tricky one, because like you say some authors take "this was great, I'd love to see more!" as enthuiastic and inspiring, and others take is as pressurising and demanding.

It also depends how the author sees kinkmeme fills in the first place. Some people see them as writing prompts, and some people see them as no-strings gifts. If your author is the former, then again, more inspiration might be just what they're looking for. If they though they were just leaving a gift, they might see asking for another gift as being entitled.

Given that this is a kink meme and (presumably?) the author is anon, then it's impossible to know on which side of the fence they fall. You could try something like your first comment here suggested, because that way you're expressing gratitude for what's already written and giving the writer more to work with should they feel so inspired.

Whatever you decide, be gracious and don't have too many expectations and you won't go too far wrong.
