The thing is if we did that, the friending thread would lag everything FOREVER because it would be so long, and comment expanding stops after a certain number of responses so everyone would have to expand/click by hand
Nah, even if you open the thread in a new tab, there's a limit to how many comments open. The rest get collapsed after a certain number. So if everyone were replying with friendmeme details to the same comment, only about 25 or so would show, then the rest get collapsed and need to be opened individually.
I think it's a great time for a rec meme esp since so many tiny fandoms got fic in Yuletide and other holiday exchanges. So there's a lot of new stuff floating around.
No matter what gets chosen, could you tell us roughly WHEN it's gonna be posted? I always seem to miss these things, and when I make a comment on page 50-something I never get replies -_-;
On a more serious note, I second the crossover fanwork meme. Although I'd really love a meme for all the times where a secret has had people saying "I would read that" or "this needs to be written." Because I always wonder if anyone ever did make something out of them, even if it wasn't something I would personally read.
IMO, there have been some really awesome ones. Like this secret where the OP liked to imagine that Tom Hanks and other actors/celebrities go around in a van saving the world from evil geniuses and organised criminals when not doing their usual job (which I cannot find now for the life of me). Then there's a secret where someone wanted epic fic about the M&Ms (which I found while looking for the previous one). For the record, I'd read the first one in a heartbeat.
PS: If I sound a bit mad and disjointed here, that's because my brain has been fried watching the Nostalgia Critic's Neverending Story 3 review. I will never be able to listen to Born to Be Wild again.
Thing is, I don't think anyone ever did write fics based on those those secrets, despite people saying they wanted to see it. Hence why I'd like to see a meme for stuff people want to see because of secrets, so that there's another chance of getting something from secrets like that. Or at least make it easier to find, if it does indeed turn out that someone actually did do something (it's hard to keep tabs on secret threads, especially when the secrets aren't labelled).
Does that make sense? I never quite know if I am or not.
This is a really interesting idea (the meme about fic ideas based on secrets; "this needs to be written", etc.). Not sure if/how it would work, but I like it.
I'd like to see a recipe meme, where fans can request recipes for foods that appear in their favorite fandoms. For example... • Authentic ramen recipes for "Ranma ½" fans. • I know one Harry Potter fan who wants to taste mincemeat pie. • Poppy seed crescent rolls, like The Hunger Games's District 11? • I, personally, would like to know how to make klav khalash, or some facsimile thereof.

Maybe a different theme than porn, though? One-sentence... hugs? Muuuuuurders?

still, the first comment is not hidden, and if anybody wanted to continue reading, they'd just open the thread in a new tab.

I've met some seriously awesome people through those in the past, whether it was Overlooked Fandoms or just in general.

Another rec meme would be swell, too! It's practically the only way I'll find fanworks (or fans in general) of my most obscure favourites.

Food meme?
• Authentic ramen recipes for "Ranma ½" fans.
• I know one Harry Potter fan who wants to taste mincemeat pie.
• Poppy seed crescent rolls, like The Hunger Games's District 11?
• I, personally, would like to know how to make klav khalash, or some facsimile thereof.
