[ FS Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


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 recaptchas 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!

(Today's post is below.)

How to cheat at kink meme

(Anonymous) 2013-05-25 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Once upon a time, I posted a prompt to my favorite (kinda small) fandom's kink meme that I was pretty enthusiastic about. It never got filled, and the kink meme kinda died out. Recently I copypasted the prompt to a much bigger and more prolific fandom's kink meme, switched out my pairing's names for the new fandom's biggest pairing, slapped "[Fandom A] - inspired AU" at the beginning, and sat back. It was filled within 72 hours.

did you find&replace the characters' names then?

that's beautiful. But did the characterizations still work out? or was it just PWP so it didn't matter anyway?

Anon, if someone is using that workaround, I seriously doubt they care about characterization.

I was fairly lucky in that Alex and Bob from Fandom A and Charlie and Dave from Fandom B play off each other in similar ways, so characterization wasn't completely off.

Honestly, fanon characterizations for some of the mega pairings out there can be so lazy and generic that after a certain point, they become pretty interchangeable.

it's a kink meme. do characterizations even matter?

Pretty common idea, and fairly easy to spot. I'm sure most fans just don't care.
