Please keep it the way it is! I know there are oodles of unfilled prompts, but people are constantly coming up with new and exciting ideas, and it would be a shame to let those go to waste.

Totally agree. I hope we can keep going here. There's already so much established and despite what's going on mod-wise this is a really fantastic, supportive comm with amazing prompts, artists, feedbackers.

There is so much amazing work going on here and it seems as though people are still really active. Lots of the prompts in 9 got fills or mini-fills and there isn't tons of repetition.

And I want to give a huge thanks to Stardustcities--you're awesome, bb, and a fantastic mod. Totally love your McFassy comm.

+1 to keeping this community running. The people here are awesome, and the fills I've read are all amazing.

Thank you. <3

Exactly. I haven't picked up on all the drama and Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. I want fast-moving rounds with (sometimes) creative prompts and fills. No move and copy all my stuff to not lose it et cet.

/My two cents.

If we all move over to the other comm (which I know most of us will) than it will be fast moving. The mods there are much more reliable AND there is no ban on underage. Come with us!! :D

If there's no ban on underage I'm going to stay far away from it, tbh. Sorry.

Really?? I mean, it's a required warning, but they acknowledge that it's a kink meme and kink-banning kind of kills the point. I guess you'll know where to find everyone if you change your mind :)

No ofc, it's called kink for a reason.

Okay, well, you should still be sure and stop by and purr on my prompts because it makes me happy. :3

And if it makes a difference, I haven't seen any extreme underage there. Like, sixteen is the lowest that I can recall, and that is the age of consent in some places. But I understand your squicks, because, like you said, it's a kink for a reason. (I'll admit, the main appeal about that for me is the principal of the issue rather than the kink. I'm not big on underage, so I tend to draw the line at 16, and make it a double white at 15.)

I purr, it's a thing. My friends love it ;3

Hmyeah, I'm already looking around of course, but .. I'm the person that goes down with the ship, just hope we can keep this up before I have to delete this community from my list and get comfy in another one.

Well hey, best of luck to you in your fandom-related endeavors. Hopefully I'll see you around! :)

(And I did just realize how corny/dramatic that sounds but I sort of like corny/dramatic goodbyes)

As I already used the ship metaphor, we could go all-out Jack/Rose ;) Ciao ciao!

Sorry, random passerby jumping in this convo - the kink-banning always, always rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, how hypocritical can you get when you run a kink meme that's supposed to embrace *all* kinds of kink without judgement only to put a ban on shota!kink cause it's "not right".

Not only does this contradicts the spirit/idea of having a kink meme, I also took it as a major warning to keep an eye out on the mod who clearly seems to be more interested in adopting the 'my way or the highway' attitude. Urgh.

Exactly what put me off and got me onto the other meme. Of course, I jumped back and forth regularly just so I wouldn't miss anything, but the other was always a little nicer, even if there weren't as many people playing.

And I did find it puzzling that of all the kinks to be banned, it was underage. Not extreme underage (like infantilism), vore, necro, or non-con, but underage. Not saying those other kinks should be banned, because as you said, it's a kink meme, but if we're banning based on what's immoral, I gotta say that those would probably beat underage into the ground. Though I do agree that it deserves a warning if it upsets people, which the other meme has in place. :)

Exactly! I'm all for labelling the fics and posting warnings so that people won't walk in unexpected. That system has worked well for other kink memes, especially for the Hetalia fandom. (And we all know that given the premise of the anime, how quickly those fanfics can incite wankery if precautions are not taken. Yikes!) :P

These same people can come up with new and exciting ideas over at xmen_firstkink, can't they? If we have one unified fandom kinkmeme, it will be even more active than this one, and we won't have to deal with oakentroll's dramatics.

Here's what's going to happen if oakenshield continues sole ownership and moderatorship of this community: Questions, discussions that were answered by stardustcities are going to be ignored or receive rude responses, there will be practically no modding, possible trolling by the mod herself and all sorts of things that we just *shouldn't* have to put up with. The only thing that's stopping a mass migration is that people are afraid to go to a less active place. But if we all move there and give it a chance, then that problem is solved, isn't it?
