Rule update: A warning for underage is required for prompts in which anyone 15 years of age or younger is involved in sexual situations. Prompts including Katie/Ciara when she is under the age of 18 are currently banned from the meme.
Reposts of old prompts are now allowed. If you are reposting a prompt, please include a link to the original prompt. You must wait at least one round before reposting a prompt.
The complete FAQ along with all current rules are posted underneath the cut.
General Rules
- We have has zero tolerance towards prompts and comments containing personal attacks on other community users and private individuals, bullying, and hate speech. Signed in members who violate this rule will first receive a warning and their comments will be frozen/screened. The second violation will result in banning of that member from the community. Anon comments violating this rule will be deleted.
- If your comment is deleted/screened/frozen and you don't know why, please PM a mod.
- Plagiarism will result in an immediate ban.
- Bashing
- Keep your negative opinions on a pairing, a kink, RPF, etc, to yourself or to your own journal. Bashing on the meme will not be tolerated.
- Do not bash characters, pairings, or real people, whether individuals or groups, and whether they're connected with the BTR canon or not.
- People and pairing bashing includes: name-calling, blatant stereotyping, "your kink is not okay", and statements intended to belittle a person, group, or idea.
- People and pairing bashing does not include: honest, thoughtful discussion of sensitive issues; disagreeing politely about a point of fact; disagreeing politely about a point of opinion.
- Report bashing to the mods. Please don't engage the poster
Prompting
How do I format my prompt?
In the subject line of your comment, list your pairing and kink. Multiple pairings should be separated by commas. The same goes for multiple kinks. This is considered the title. Write any additional information, such as the situation or any background pairings as your message.
Please also include triggers in your headline. If you cannot fit all of the warnings in the header, continue them in the first line of your comment. For a list of triggers,

Pairings should be listed in alphabetical order: (Carlos/James/Kendall/) Exceptions are non-verse characters, which should follow canon characters and be labeled as "Other": (Logan/Other) Reoccurring non-verse characters such as Shane and Dustin are to br treated as canon characters.
Another thing to remember is that there should only be one request per comment. This means multiple prompts should be posted separately. It makes both prompt filling and tagging much easier.
If your prompt is missing something, such as a subject or a warning, repost it in it’s entirety. It is not enough to reply to your own comment with the missing information. The mods will delete the previous duplicate comment. Relatedly, if your prompt does not have enough information to archive it in delicious, it is breaking this rule and will be deleted.
What is a character kink?
A character kink (CK) is a description (such as drunk, angry, or jealous) that applies to a specific character. They are normally written in the following format:
Character kinks are also useful when describing who is dominant in a relationship:
Fills
General
- Fills can be anything: fic, art, vid, fanmix, podfic, etc. If your fill is an image or video, please post a link. Embedding causes problems for some users.
- Please don't link to locked material. This includes locked communities, even if membership is open.
- All prompts are open to fills at all times, even if they have been filled in the past or are being currently filled by someone else. Multiple fills are positively encouraged; if something appeals to you then do not be put off creating a new fill by the existence of a prior one.
How do I fill a prompt?
To fill a prompt, you simply reply to the comment and post your story. The headline should include the word "Fill" as well as
any triggers.
Due to the comment size limit, some fills may need to be posted in multiple parts. To make it easier to read, title these as Fill: Part 1, Fill: Part 2, Fill: Part 3, and so on. Part 1 should be reply to the prompt. Part 2 should be a reply to Part 1. Part 3 should be a reply to Part 2. The result should look like this:
(Please ignore the shameless self-pimping and minor prompt editing to save bandwidth.)
Nobody filled my prompt! What do I do?
Thanks to our Status tags, you don't have to do anything. People looking to fill prompts need only look at those tagged _unfille and they will find your prompt. Even when a post closes, users can still respond to comments. Reposting prompts is allowed if the repost includes a link to the original prompt. You must wait at least one round before reposting a prompt.
If you want to fill a prompt that is posted in two places, it would b easier for me est to reply at the original prompt.
