[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

Is a kinkmeme the right or wrong place to start out writing stuff for a certain fandom? I like it because it's anon... but it's also a huge fandom and I wonder if it's also the easiest place to get eaten alive.

I've heard of a lot of people starting out on kinkmemes. Lots of prompts and the freedom of anon helps a lot.

I've been in about 5 different fandoms and (when possible) I always start in kink memes or other prompt memes. Lurking a little will give you a feel of the fandom, what the wank buttons are, popular pairings and idea, etc. Also, new-new authors or authors who prefer to remain anon can fill prompts and be guaranteed an audience. It's a very nice deal.

Question: which fandom is this?

All good points! I've been lurking a bit myself. :)

Mass Effect! I want to contribute before the fandom dies, although it's still kind of strong ATM.

Not one of the kink memes I'm familiar with, but I've heard good things. :) Good luck!

It's definitely diverse (uh....mostly) and fun to read. :) Thanks!

In my experience Bioware fandoms are pretty friendly and accommodating. Have fun!

It seems to depend on who you talk to - but so far ME fandom has been pretty decent to me.

Thank you! :)

Depends on the meme mods. If they're decent, then they'll whack anybody who tries to eat you for fan-brat reasons.

My advice would be to try and figure out how good the mods are (if there's a page-a-mod thread, go see what happens there, or if there are discussion threads, see if there's wank and if so if/where/how the mod stepped in).

Or just post anyway. Even if you do get eaten alive, you're still anon - you can walk away and never look back, if you want.

All good points. The mod for this kmeme is really good about that and pretty active. It's just been so long since I shared fanfiction because I so rarely get the inclination to write any, haha.
