THINGS I HAVE REALIZED + QUESTIONS

[ymorton]

things i have realized

-- I've posted 26 fills on the kinkmeme. OH MY GOD. WHAT. TWENTY FUCKING SIX. ranging from cute and vanilla to kinky-as-fuck to still-too-ashamed-to-deanon RPF.
-- there is no way i'm going to finish one of my WIPs.

questions-- should i clean up and post all of my fills on my LJ

should i clean up and post all of my fills on my LJ?

I always have, when I've done kink memes, mostly because I like having all my writing in one place but also because my flisters don't necessarily follow the meme. And as I reader I like it when people repost their fills, because it's tidier for bookmarking purposes. :)

:D thanks! the one thing is- should i even post like... one comment-box's-worth drabbles that are pwp??

Yeeeeeeees, definitely! :D I love your writing and it would be easier for me (and other readers) to find if you post it in your livejournal. :)

-- how do i tell people i'm not going to finish a WIP? luckily i posted it anon.
Are you sure you're never going to finish it? You might want to comment with 'on hiatus until further notice'. If you're sure you won't continue it, then you make a comment stating it so that people won't be waiting for it.

-- how do i make a sticky masterlist of fic, and should i?
Well, you can make a masterlist post and change the year to 2020 or something so that the first post people see when they arrive at your lj is your masterlist of fics. and yeeees, I think you should! :)

[ymorton]

i guess i'm not sure if i'm sure but i just don't know where to go with it anymore. hmm. but yeah, that's a good tip, thank you!! :)

[leatherteal]

Yes pleeease to reposting and making a masterlist, if you're up to it! I can't keep up with the kinkmeme at ALL.

[ymorton]

mmm yeah i think that's a good point!! i've resorted to using flat view all the time, even though i used to go through all the pages and look for updates, lolol. such a newbie. thanks !

without question. I want to fangirl all of them ten times. also it's a really nice thing to do for other people, honestly - i regularly update my delicious when people post their lj-versions of kinkmeme fills because i feel like it's much more likely that those links will work ~*~forever~*~ whereas kinkmeme links I'm less trustworthy of.

"sorry guys, the muse for this one has flown. anyone wanna finish it, it's open!" if you're comfortable with that, i kind of figured you were since fte finished your daddy issues one. WHICH WIPS ARE YOU NOT FINISHING BTW.

-- how do i make a sticky masterlist of fic, and should i?
no. no one ever updates their masterlists sufficiently except alexthegreat, lol. just tag your lj really well.

I DO D:

but i can see your point. i guess it IS easier to just use the tags sometimes :/

[4rightchords_]

ha you're right actually, i found yours very useful! SORRY SORRY. just honestly 99% of masterlists i come across haven't been updated in months, when i know the person has written stuff since (on account of i've read it). for that reason i almost always find it more reliable to just use tags.

[thisissirius]

LOl it's okay! i know what you mean; usually it's a better way to search for stuff.

[thisissirius]

i agree with the people who are saying you should clean up and post them! i would love to be able to fangirl them all over your journal ;)

re: sticky post: make a new post, change the date to some time WAY in the future and check the 'date out of order' button that appears underneath the date boxes - i have one. i just think it's nice for people to have somewhere to look so that they don't have to go too far into your tags if it's a fandom you wrote a long time ago etc. i think they're a good idea.

LASTLY: the wip. maybe just tell them that there's no inspiration? but that someone else should feel free to write for it if they want? - the prompt, not necessarily the fill itself.

[ymorton]

yeahh i think i will re:the WIP.

also why is your icon so mesmerizing!!!!

[thisissirius]

because you know the prospect of beat up!mark leads to hurt/comfort from his only friend...

idek why i have it. LOL.
