(Anonymous) 2015-08-20 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)*We are up to 66 new prompts now as I write this. From the wording and format, I would guess that the majority originate from one poster only.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-20 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)I read the book quite recently and even with it so fresh in my mind I'm having difficulty remembering all these people. I think I would need to search through footnotes to find some of them!
I have a prompt idea myself but the fear of it being washed away by this tidal wave of prompts has me keeping hold of it until a later date!(frozen comment) Re: Has someone cast a spell on the kinkmeme?

(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 09:38 am (UTC)(link)If reposting prompts wasn't extremely frowned upon I'd totally do it.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 04:33 am (UTC)(link)i know some other kink memes have moratorium periods for new prompts so everyone could look through and fill the existing ones and i think this meme should try it?
(frozen comment) Re: Has someone cast a spell on the kinkmeme?
(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 08:54 am (UTC)(link)Whatever the motivation, someone is coming across rather entitled, and if I'm honest, they have succeeded in putting me off writing for any of their prompts.
(frozen comment) Re: Has someone cast a spell on the kinkmeme?
(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 09:45 am (UTC)(link)They also don't seem to have any inclination to tag spoilers. Most of their prompts are a couple of words and make little sense to non-book readers when isolated, but one in particular (Lascelles' book ending) had me rushing to my phone to text a friend who is currently reading and has yet to reach that chapter. (I don't know for certain it was the same prompter, but it seems likely.) *sigh*

(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 09:58 am (UTC)(link)Also, has the person who made this kinkmeme been kidnapped by a fairy? The Tumblr page (which used to make some handy fill round-ups) rarely posts anything anymore (the last round up at time of writing is 6.5 weeks ago), so I doubt they would have time to initiate moratorium posts. Obviously I am completely understanding of the fact that people have lives (and so very very grateful that they made this brilliant meme in the first place), but there are so many willing to help with this meme! The Tumblr tag has been alive with discussion about how to catalog the fills, starting a new blog just for this meme's fic etc.
Anyway, I've become sidetracked and written you an essay. Hopefully the prompter-troll will desist soon!

(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)Finding the prompt-flood a bit frustrating tbh - telling myself it is an over-excited n00b rather than a troll, because it would make me sad to think of my current Happy Place being trolled...
(frozen comment) Re: Has someone cast a spell on the kinkmeme?
(Anonymous) 2015-08-21 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)I don't think there is anywhere on Tumblr specificly for talking about this meme. This page is the only place I'm aware of to discuss the meme itself. Specific users have made posts about wanting to help out or discussing their own fills or prompts, but as far as I'm aware there isn't a place solely for discussing the meme.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-22 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)I think it might be a good thing and encourage more fills - this seems to have been the case in past kinkmemes that I have taken part in. I suppose we'll have to see how it goes.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-23 11:37 am (UTC)(link)Personally I am honestly pleased that this prompter has found somewhere to engage in the fandom. However, taking your point on board (that this is a prompt meme, so why would we get upset over prompts?) their prompts don't really follow the guidelines so come across like spamming/trolling. We don't want the prompter's enthusiasm criticized, just that their prompts seem more like.. prompts! and less like spam.
This is from the guidelines:
"Different ideas can call for different levels of detail, but try to put yourself in a potential filler's shoes when posting your prompt. Consider if your idea might be too long and restrictive for anyone to satisfy properly, or if it might be too short and vague for anyone to draw proper inspiration from it."
Five, ten, fifteen prompts in a row that read something like
TITLE: character/character
BODY: ANYTHING!
are not helpful at all to potential fillers. When in such a huge number, these short prompts may end up upsetting those who put a lot of thought into their prompt idea.
I may be mistaken, but I think that's the general thought above. The prompter is just prompting prompting prompting seemingly without care. Yes of course, scrolling past is certainly a reasonable expectation, but when scrolling past resulted in.. just more and more of these prompts, it became a little frustrating and resulted in venting. The meme is such a lovely friendly place, I hope that seeing this conversation so early in your time here (welcome, by the way) will not put you off getting involved.
The prompter in question seems to have lost steam now and the meme mod has recently announced they will be reminding users of the no spamming rule within the next prompt post, so hopefully all this will be resolved. I apologise for writing you an essay!

(Anonymous) 2015-08-23 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)It's flooding, it's greedy and comments and seconds on prompts have noticeably reduced since this person started their spamming campaign.
