so memes are strictly for writers these days, huh? good to know. as someone who has a billion ideas for fics and who cannot write to save her soul I'll be sure to just, you know, leave them be from now on.

or not, since I think you're being ridiculously dog-in-the-mangerish about this. also kind of obsessive, considering that you went and counted the number of fills and prompts this individual left. maybe you should consider getting yourself a life? just a thought.

[(Anonymous)]

not OP.

but 43 requests in 12 days? without filling anything? I get some people aren't writers, I'm one of them, but doesn't that seem a little selfish or overboard to you at all? requesting 43 fics from other people?

[(Anonymous)]

It's already very hard to keep up a successful & long-lasting kink meme. If people are only requesting and never filling, it'll never work out. It'll die quickly and end up being a huge waste of time.

I've been on a lot of kink memes, and it's incredibly annoying to see a 10:1 ratio of unfilled to filled requests. And if that's mostly the fault of one or two (pretty selfish) people, there's a problem there.

[(Anonymous)]

I know who you're talking about, and even disregarding their request-to-fill ratio I hate them by default for posting unanon all the goddamn time.

I hate how unanon posting has become a thing on the meme in general. I hate the cult of personality that has sprung up around the ~talented~ ones to the detriment of the rest of us. It's obnoxious and it goes against the whole spirit of a kink meme in the first place.

[cephiedvariable.livejournal.com]

I think the thing with our kinkmeme in particular is that Homestuck fic often calls for a lot of fancy formatting and the like, which livejournal is a total bitch about- sometimes pesterlog formatting doesn't even work anon unless you view the post in a separate window and don't even talk about attempting to post images or links and the whole "anon comments screened all the time for no reason" dry-spells. I know for a fact formatting is why I first went un-anon. After that, it was just weird paranoia that "WELL EVERYONE KNOWS MY WRITING STYLE ANYWAYS NGGGH".

But hypocritically enough I do agree with you to some extent? I don't think it's a problem when people un-anon after the fact or to have a few un-anon writers, but kinkmemes start to get weird when EVERYONE is un-anoned and I just wish people wouldn't request un-anoned.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel dumb. What the heck is a kink meme?

I mean, I know what kinks are. And I know what memes are. But...

[allstarzs.livejournal.com]

I can completely see how this would be annoying. Just try and ignore them.

[celadonite.livejournal.com]

Are the prompts interesting at least? If other writers find them to be inspiring, and there are no request freezes on the meme, then that can be forgiven to an extent. Although posting 43 requests while signed in is a bit too much...

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who fills about twice as much as she prompts, that would piss me off too.

I feel kind of awful for saying this, but one of my fandom friends hardly EVER fills and yet complains to me on a regular basis about how the sort of stuff she likes never gets filled. Meanwhile I've filled probably a solid dozen of her prompts...

I dunno, I just don't like it when other people talk as if they're entitled to lots of fills, yet don't ever do fills.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know which kink meme this is abut I feel you, OP. I had to untrack a kink meme last year because it became almost completely overtaken by one logged-in user and their pregnancy fic obsession.

[(Anonymous)]

I leave prompts for things I think would be hot. I don't expect them to be fulfilled, though it's fun when they are. I also never fill, because nobody wants to read my attempts at fiction. Seriously.

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

43 requests in 12 days? I don't think this has to be a secret anymore, OP. You can reasonably tell them to knock it off for a while.

[(Anonymous)]

I know who your talking about and they do request a lot but they are filling things too. They updated one like twenty minutes ago. And almost all of those journal entries are kink meme fills. I think it's okay to prompt a lot as long as you don't start demanding fills for every one and are just offering up the idea to see in anyone gets inspired.

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

That's annoying, I must agree. But I thought there was some stigma about kink memes being anon or something.? (...yeeeeah, like #44)

[(Anonymous)]

My sympathies. The kink meme I fill for had a real problem, some time ago, with a select few fans refusing to anon, and being absolute attention whores about the whole business. Fortunately, they kept it up for too long and annoyed enough people that we ran them out. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the whole thing about making tons of prompts in a short period of time would be incredibly annoying, but as some others have pointed out, it depends on the situation. Like they could be getting around to filling soon, or they're just throwing ideas around without making demands, etc. So there's that.

But the fact that they're doing it un-anon is kind of pathetic. I don't care if it's so they can ~keep track of their posts or whatever, it just screams GUYS, LOOK AT ME, PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEE

I'm so judge-y today wooooooo

[citrinesunset.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say that someone isn't contributing at all when they request stuff, because you need requests before you can have fills, but yeah, 43 in 12 does sound like it could be excessive or come across as greedy.

But to be fair, I think when kink memes are new there can be a surge of requests, which might settle down after a while.

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly why all kink memes should enforce anonymous posting.

[4thofeleven.livejournal.com]

I like it when a meme's got a nice backlog of unfilled requests. Makes it more likely there'll be something to catch my eye...

[velvet-mace.livejournal.com]

Maybe she fills anonymously. I prompt anon and fill logged in, but I know bunches of other people do it the other way around. I guess if you just looked at my name you'd never guess I prompted at all.

[chelonianmobile.livejournal.com]

I wish to God some of the kinkmemes I was on had forty-three prompts total, even if they were all from one person ...

this reminds me exactly of.....

[smutty-muse.livejournal.com]

This reminds me of the FS made about me here and the comments on that thread apply here
http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/609197.html?thread=382912429#t382912429
(http://tinypic.com?ref=2gts112)

Apparently sock puppet accounts are unheard of and that everyone expects you to have a paid account to track anon posts. Heaven forbid someone makes an LJ specifically for requesting in a kink meme just to track things. I can't speak for the requester but for me, I request/prompt but don't fill using my prompt journal. I fill anon because I think my work is shitty. Depending on the response I get, I claim the work and go public.

This anon assuming shit, just like the anon did me, pisses me off.

[fairhearing.livejournal.com]

People who de-anon on kink memes piss me off anyway, for this reason as well as several others.
