The Long Forgotten Wodehouse Kink Meme - Reminder/Pimpage/Info

Jul 01, 2013 18:13

Hullo!

The lovely Finmagik gave me maintainer/moderator rights on the Wodehouse Kink Meme - OhIDoSay - and I know there hasn't been a lot of activity there lately, but I was thinking maybe folks just needed to be reminded about it. Possibly due to the inactivity, people gave up - understandable - but I'd like to suggest folks toddle over and take ( Read more... )

fun stuff, questions, announcements, discussion, memes

I'd forgotten about the kink meme.

I'd say do a poll to see if there's interest in reading as well as writing. I've noticed a lot less LJ action in general during the past year, and much less writing and commenting (I'm guilty of both). If only a few people are interested, it might be hard to keep the place going.

I think you're right on the poll, and yeah - no point in it if no one's really interested.
Seems many have just moved on, alas.

The sort of main kink meme recently updated their lists... that might be a fruitful area of inspiration and whatnot...

Which kink meme is that?

The kink list at kink bingo referenced at fan_flashworks so maybe 'meme' was the wrong word.

While a delightful idea - it suffered from the negatives of its own wonderfulness.
Stories became hard to find and hard to read. (Because of the limitations of the scroll-down - not any flaws of the writers or the meme proper)
I wish I could offer a solution. Perhaps some here - brighter and better informed on the web - could have some ideas.

Yup. And I wish I could somehow just transfer everything to a brand new comm. Or delete and redo, etc.
I'm hoping someone pops up with ideas that'll work, but if only a handful of people are interested, it won't be all that much fun - it's best when there's a lot of folks doing it.

Thanks, though.

You could do a collection on Ao3... that would solve some of the problems people have trying to find the fics to read, since that's indexed.

Also... I read through the stuff on OhYouDoSayYouDo and it seemed that at least some of the 'unfilled' prompts have been taken up in other venues also, so it would be a good time to start up and see if there are new ideas out there.

If I can get a volunteer to help me mod on ohyoudosay, someone who is a little more active (I still lurk on here a bit, but my time is even more limited than it used to be) I think it would help organize things quicker. I used to really comb through the kink meme for fill ins but I saw it was losing luster and more or less stopped working myself. So... Volunteers? Other ideas?

That would be awesome if someone with more time to spend on it felt like doing so! I'm already pushing my internet time envelope as it is. We'll have to see if there's enough interest still, too.
I'm well aware I may be doomed from the get-go here.

I would certainly be happy to help out.
