Am I the only one finding it... really annoying?

Not the person you replied to, but no, you're not. I use flatview, and scrolling back past all the incessant prompts to find fills and discussion is making me grind my teeth...

Oh dear, I can't imagine how difficult it must make flat viewing.

OP here. I found it charming initially, but as the posts keep on coming* and the characters involved have gotten more and more obscure with each prompt, I'm starting to find it a little ... overwhelming? Don't get me wrong, it's great that people are interested in the kinkmeme, but there are just so. many. new. prompts! I almost don't know where to focus...

*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.

I feel a tad guilty for my earlier comment, but --66-- prompts? I remember the first time I ventured into a kink meme (for an insanely large fandom) and found there to be a very prominent culture of filling as much as you prompt - a give-to-receive sort of thing. If that were the case for this prompter I would of course be --thrilled-- but I highly doubt it!

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!

Don't feel guilty - I can see how it can get annoying, especially when you are trying to catch up with the kinkmeme while the serial-prompter is in the process of posting. It makes it a little hard to keep track.

As for kinkmeme etiquette, it makes me wonder if this is their first kinkmeme and they aren't aware of the idea of reciprocity in prompting and filling... due to the obscurity of a lot of the requested characters and pairings in their later prompts, it seems unlikely that they will get as many fills as they seem to be hoping for. I re-read the novel recently, but I can't remember who half of these characters are!

It looks like they gave taken a break for now, so maybe now is your chance to post that prompt? :)
