Since LJ seems to have finally capitulated to the Russian government and is now subject to Russian anti-obscenity laws, I'm not going to take a chance on sudden deletions. The Les Mis kinkmeme now lives at https://lesmiskinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/. (Rules post here.) Everything has been backed up there. The LJ kinkmeme will stay up, but is now closed

prompt freeze

[anonymous]

heey, mods
can I be so bold as to propose a prompt freeze? Because round 7 already has almost three hundred comments and just four or five feels, so... Yeah.
Just a suggestion, though, feel free to deny it!!

Re: prompt freeze

[10littlebullets]

Nope, sorry. The whole point of the filth fest was to get some momentum going and build up an easy-to-find bank of really kinky prompts that potential fillers could keep coming back to for inspiration. That means the prompt:fill ratio will be skewed at the beginning of the round, but I predict it will go up as authors catch up and the rate of prompting falls back towards where it was in Round 6.

(I've been meaning to take prompt freezes out of the rules anyway--they exist as a brake on the momentum of fast-moving megafandom kink memes, but Les Mis is no longer the megafandom of the week. Unless it starts getting 400+ comments a day again like it was in March, putting on the brakes is the exact opposite of a good idea.)

tumblr prompts - please consider

I'd like you to consider not opening a witch hunt on prompts that stem from headcanons on tumblr

Re: tumblr prompts - please consider

[10littlebullets]

There's no witch hunt--the rule on reposts, whether from previous rounds or other sites, has always been "okay, but not in excess," to keep the meme's energy geared towards generating new stuff

this is an odd question that i just honestly don't know the answer to since nobody else is doing it

is it required to post anonymously? am i allowed to post a comment in a kink entry under my lj username?

[10littlebullets]

Ack, sorry this slipped under my radar--anonymous posting is encouraged, but logged-in posting is also ok.

Is there some sort of rule/etiquette with regard to taking ideas from already-written fics and using them in prompts? I'm sure this is not the only time it's been done, but I'm referring in particular to http://makinghugospin.livejournal.com/13775.html?thread=11647439#t11647439 , which is pretty obviously, uh, "borrowed" from here with no acknowledgement: http://archiveofourown.org/works/980927?show_comments=true#work_endnotes . Not sure how to address it since it's a prompt rather than a fic, but it's still blatant plagiarism.

[10littlebullets]

As with fics--a comment pointing out that it's been taken uncredited from somewhere else and a link back to the original.

Help???

[anonymous]

So. I'm meme-deficient and am trying to fill a prompt, but either my computer or the thread is messing with me. I posted all of the fills in different comments and left it, but when I came back later it only had three of them. So I posted the fourth again but then it showed all five parts?? Um??

Anyway, the original post is here: http://makinghugospin.livejournal.com/13775.html?thread=11589839#t11589839

I don't know if they're all there or not at this point, because when I go to look they aren't, but when I go to reply they are and I'm so confused! I apologize for my noob-ness!

Sounds like a caching issue? LiveJournal's comment caching is a bit weird and sometimes (especially if you're not logged into an account) new comments take a while to show up. Try this (third FAQ from the bottom of this post).
