BUT I can prompt, that's what I like about it, and XMFC has a lot of finished fills so I can't complain.

SPN fandom have a many challenges and produce a lot of fanwork but I'm not good at anything so I can only wait for someone to write what I'd like to read, while in other fandoms I can prompt whitout worrying if it's too silly for a kinkmeme.

I just go ahead and prompt the silly things, accepting that I'm unlikely to get a fill. Except I do actually want them. Boo.

I do that too, but it's kind of sad when all I get is "second" and "omg this".

Do you prompt over at XMFC and get more fills?

Re: Are we really that bad?

Yes, I do but I have only left seven prompts and five of them have gotten filled :D

It's definitely a little sadface-inducing. I am often sorely tempted to fill my own. I also want to fill other people's silly prompts, but as if often the case with prompting, there's often a small detail that I probably couldn't handle as intended, and I don't want to disappoint the prompter. Like, last round, there was a silly prompt that I really adored, but it had an element of virginity kink and I knew I'd somehow work in the idea that it's a completely amorphous/not real thing and/or it would be defined as "hasn't seen a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show," and poor OP. :/

What prompt was it?

I was trying to avoid saying it! But the Mishalecki one where Misha was a wereunicorn and Jared was a developer (/virgin).

OMG, THAT ONE.

I didn't prompt it, but I bet you dollars to donuts they got that idea from an Inception fanfic.

I would totally fill my own prompts or fill others if I could write but I suck at writing, I really suck.

Re: Are we really that bad?

Unfortunately, I think that, a lot of the time, if you want something in particular (a silly premise, a certain rarepair, issues treated in x way), you have to write it yourself. I wish I could fill a bunch of silly prompts and be an ambassador for silliness, but 1) I don't have unlimited time and 2) I'm nervous about filling the prompt wrong! (Because I've done that, pretty severely).

And then there are the unintentionally silly prompts, like the excellent typo that took what was almost certainly a prompt about curses and fuck-or-die to this:

"Thanks to a course Kevin has to fuck Sam so both of them can live."

Might have started making notes on a college AU before deciding that filling it that way would be akin to trolling.

Re: Are we really that bad?

DA

Kevin is very academically conscientious and always fulfills his course requirements. Sam feels mentorly towards him and wants to help. "This is life or death, Sam, it's like 50% of my grade."

I wish you would write it, even if only for us.

Re: Are we really that bad?

I am willing to prompt this if you are willing to write it because this story needs to be written.

Re: Are we really that bad?

[(Anonymous)]

DA

filling it that way would be akin to trolling.

I'm half-convinced a whole bunch of prompts in that post was trolling anyway, after that "stop prompting, you're obviously one person" protest.

Re: Are we really that bad?

I get bored scrolling through page after page of prompts. If it's not in the first 10 pages or so, I'm not likely to see it.

One thing I miss about blindfold is people talking about the prompts on meme or doing page number exchanges.

I miss this, too! But maybe all it takes is somebody to actually start talking about some prompts they're interested in and then others will join in?

I had kind of hoped to "promote" the kinkmeme a little with the reminder that some other nonnies and I post at the beginning of every month; maybe we could use that thread to talk about the prompts or open a new one?

That sounds like a great idea! Maybe so we could have more to talk about (since there will be fewer prompts when the post just opened), people could talk about the previous month's prompts in that thread?

Re: Are we really that bad?

Sure! In fact, they could talk about any prompt, no matter in which month it was first posted, cause a lot of the prompts get re-posted anyway. Although I doubt that many people will go back and look at prompts that are like 5 months old, so the focus could, as you suggested, be the previous month and of course the new, incoming prompts.

Re: Are we really that bad?

[(Anonymous)]

I think this is a marvelous notion. I approve!

Would it be too much to have a similar thread/reminder on the 15th, at the end of the prompting session?

Re: Are we really that bad?

[(Anonymous)]

sa

Er, by which I meant that then we could focus on the prompts from that session instead of the previous session, which kind of makes more sense to me.

Re: Are we really that bad?

[(Anonymous)]

Not too much at all IMO! We'll be in a different post then, so I doubt that I'd be too much to have another kinkmeme thread. To start the second thread at the 15th is an awesome idea, btw.

You can still prompt silly things at the kinkmeme. I do all the time.
