For me the animosity towards non-anon posting on kink memes actually comes from something completely different. it's not the prompting, it's the fills. I just think if most people anon and a select few don't and get away with it, it gives them an unfair visibility and status.

I went through a km of one of my fandoms recently to hunt for prompts and it was perfectly clear: everyone who doesn't anon and who no one ever says anything to about it? All the BNFs. The whole list.

I think a kink meme is the one place in fandom where it can be accomplished that fics get read and get comments for people just liking the fic, the content or the style, or whatever. Not due to who wrote them.

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience the BNFs who are un-anon at kink memes become BNFs through said kink memes. Personally I'm 50/50 when it comes to filling prompts. Sometimes I'm anon and sometimes I'm not. Often it has more to do with length of the fic when I'm un-anon. If it's a long fic I don't want to deal with comment posting, so I just link to my journal.

On the other hand there are some fics that I write where I'm not actually "out" in that fandom so I fill anon so no one knows it was me, or I'm ashamed of the kink.

It all comes down to personal preference.

Ha, oh man, this is me all over when I fill prompts on memes.

[(Anonymous)]

What about fics where they post the whole fic in comment form, get lots of comments and praise, and then un-anon so they can repost a cleaner version of the fic?
I knew a lot of people who used kink memes as ways to branch into a new fandom. They'd start anon to see if people liked their work and then they would un-anon in order to make friends within the fandom.

[rocks-not-dead.livejournal.com]

Well, that is fair game.

You can't forbid people who write fics to post them to the main comms once they've written them. And most people, I think, eventually do.

But if a kink meme asks you to post anonymously? You should do it. No matter who you are.

[(Anonymous)]

Well yeah if the meme is one that actually asks for anon posting that's another matter entirely. I've only seen one of those though. Most kink memes I've seen don't say one way or the other so it's usually left up to the users how they want to post.

[rocks-not-dead.livejournal.com]

But does it really have to be formulated as a rule? A lot of memes I've seen put where they explayin how it works something like "people anonymously post their prompts and others then anonymously fill them."

If I read that at the beginning of a meme, even if it's not a rule, exactly, I find it a given that I anon. I dunno. lol Call me old-fashioned, but for me that is still the spirit of kink memes anyway.

[jukeboxhound.livejournal.com]

If it's an explicit rule of the comm then it's a given you should be anon, if you want to participate, and I see your point about visibility and reading for content, not author loyalty. There may be this exact BNF situation on a kinkmeme for a rather tiny fandom of mine, but hey.

I suppose that because de-anoning means I get alerts when someone replies, rather than having to manually bookmark and check back on a thread or try to parse out said relevant responses from the flood in my inbox, that it never occurred to me that it might necessarily be a negative thing. It certainly cuts down on the "Hey, where did [x] go? Can I have a link? What's going on?" kind of comments.
