I'm unsure about moratorium periods. While they are very handy for massive fandoms, before this prompter came along and overflowed three pages in two days this meme never seemed too much to handle (imho). It seemed to fluctuate from a couple to a handful of prompts per day and it was a real joy to refresh and find the new ones.

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!

How can I find discussion relating to this meme on Tumblr? (not a Tumblr user atm, could never get my head around it).

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...

I'd like to think the same thing. Surely a troll wouldn't be so.. particular?

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.

Okay, thanks :) What is the tag??

...nothing on the internet could surprise me anymore tbh...

The Tumblr tag for JS&MN things?

There are two, but "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" gets more things posted in it than "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" (but I check both). For graphics/gifs/arty things there is a tag called "jsamnedit".

Linky linky for convenience:

https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/jonathan-strange-and-mr-norrell
https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/jonathan-strange-&-mr-norrell
https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/jsamnedit

If you prefer to see things in clouds there's also this alternative format:

https://www.tumblr.com/search/jonathan-strange-and-mr-norrell
https://www.tumblr.com/search/jonathan-strange-&-mr-norrell
https://www.tumblr.com/search/jsamnedit

Thank you, mighty anon! :D

ayrt hopefully you're right and theyre just overeager. and yeah, point taken-- the actual logistics of imposing a moratorium seem p unlikely and the meme is relatively small. I guess i'm just a little worried that the disparity between filled and unfilled prompts is getting bigger ?? I NEED TO GET OFF MY BUTT AND WRITE MORE

If a moratorium period was put in place, do you think people would go back through all the pages to look for things to fill? Perhaps it could be worth mentioning to the mods?

I'm not the person you were talking to, but during one of the serial prompter's, uh episodes, I kind of snapped and asked the mod if we could have a prompt freeze. They replied saying they were thinking of having one around 4000 comments. We're currently at 3930, so at this rate we may well have one in the next day or two (or if Prompty McPrompter rears their head again, this evening...)

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.

I'm not the person you were speaking to either, but thank you so much for speaking to a mod!

I think a prompt freeze is a really good idea. It will give us time to read those fills we've been meaning to read and dig through the pages to find those super inspiring prompts we may have missed (which could very easily be the case in the last 4/5 pages thanks to serial prompter!)

Hopefully the mods take the opportunity of a prompt freeze to remind everyone of how it's nice to fill as much as one prompts. That might discourage the prompter from going prompt crazy as soon as the new post is up.

Oop! Look out!
"Prompty McPrompter" (love it) is BACK, right now!
We may be closer to that 4,000 comment goal than we think!

Argh! And I just posted a prompt I'd love to see filled! Now it's going to get buried under a pile of obscure characters and single-sentence prompts.

Oh no!!

I've literally been refreshing page 22 waiting for 4,000 to be hit. It is going to be a breath of fresh air to have this place closed for a little while. Just a little breather, that's all it needs.

Feel a bit sad this is gonna happen tbh - despite being annoyed at what seem like some very careless prompts.

Please try not to be sad passerby anon! The prompt freeze will only be in place for a little while I'm sure. When the new prompt post opens, the prompts you have saved up will be right there on the first page to inspire writers who have had a chance for a break!

(Passerby anon above)

I don't even actually have any prompts - think I have posted two so far!

I just enjoyed reading the prompts and chatting - though there seemed to be less cheerful chat after the weird promptflood, admittedly.

ayrt here and I'm glad to hear that!! thanks for getting in touch with the mod.
