so memes are strictly for writers these days, huh? good to know. as someone who has a billion ideas for fics and who cannot write to save her soul I'll be sure to just, you know, leave them be from now on.
or not, since I think you're being ridiculously dog-in-the-mangerish about this. also kind of obsessive, considering that you went and counted the number of fills and prompts this individual left. maybe you should consider getting yourself a life? just a thought.
but 43 requests in 12 days? without filling anything? I get some people aren't writers, I'm one of them, but doesn't that seem a little selfish or overboard to you at all? requesting 43 fics from other people?
I think that depends on how you look at kink memes. I don't look at them as places to leave "requests" - I see them as being the same thing as when friends of mine have writers block and leave posts asking for prompts.
There is, at least in my mind, the clear distinction that this probably won't get written and if it does it might not go in the direction you were expecting, not even a little bit. But it might shake loose an idea for the writer, something to make them get super excited. And that's awesome, right? Like, that's a good thing?
And uh, no. I really don't think that less than four prompts a day is excessive and I certaily don't think it's "selfish". Is there some kind of rule that there's only allowed to be so many promts per person or per day or something that I don't know about? I mean, fuck, don't most kink memes end up with thousands of prompts?
I do hate how he gets made out to be a good guy a lot, though. I know he's on our side and all, but seriously, not a good person. (Though this may just be my Szayel bias talking.)
HEY I AGREE WITH THIS. He's.. kind of a terrible person and it bothers me that he's fetishized like that, but.. at the same time I only really skim some Bleach fandom from time to time, so I hope he's not actually another case of Draco in Leather Pants.
Oi, are you saying I can't be funny, sexy, AND an evil creep?
I mean...okay, I can't think of him as sexy myself, but Kurotsuchi's pretty funny in a horribly macabre high octane nightmare fuel way. YMMV, I know. Anyway, if all characters on the side of good were nice sensible sane people, especially in a series like Bleach with a HUGE cast, it'd get pretty dull.
Would I want to ever be in the same room with Kurotsuchi, though? Hell to the no.
