Since LJ seems to have finally capitulated to the Russian government and is now subject to Russian anti-obscenity laws, I'm not going to take a chance on sudden deletions. The Les Mis kinkmeme now lives at https://lesmiskinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/. (Rules post here.) Everything has been backed up there. The LJ kinkmeme will stay up, but is now closed

Question: what is the policy on reprompting to new threads, either one's own prompt or other people's? I've noticed that a fair bit, and it's not something I'm used to on kinkmemes (I personally find it kind of annoying and don't think it makes prompts more likely to be filled.

[10littlebullets]

OK within reason. If you're reposting five prompts in a row, or reposting things that are barely two weeks old, or incessantly reprompting the same thing, that's obnoxious enough to be a problem. And if the volume of reposts gets to be excessive, we may lay down specific rules for when it's allowed. But "OK within reason" should cover it as long as it's an occasional thing.

Since Round 3 is nearing 5000 comments, though, I will say this (and will repeat it when I open Round 4): please don't repost prompts from the final pages of the previous round onto the new round as soon as it opens. Believe me, the previous round is still getting plenty of traffic at that point.

I guess I wonder if reprompting is necessary now that there's the Pinboard account that makes it easier to find old prompts?

[10littlebullets]

Maybe, maybe not, but it isn't a huge problem right now? If it gets to be a huge problem, yeah, specific reprompting rules and a link to the Pinboard might be in order, but at this point it'd feel like micromanaging something that doesn't need it.

Could you open the new post a bit early (but commentlocked until round 3 hits 5000) so that I can get a track on it for pinning purposes without missing any early comments?

[10littlebullets]

Sure! Will do now.

Aaaand Round 4 placeholder here.

Thanks

Could I ask for Old Style / Flat View / Normal Style links on the first fill-post too? I read the meme on my phone sometimes, and it's fiddly to write url-changes on

(sorry for being lazy and demanding!)

[10littlebullets]

Alas, I can't edit posts I didn't create, so you'll have to ask RoboticAnarchy to add them in.

[anonymous]

I think they possibly mean adding those links to the round 1 & round 2 posts, which I would also appreciate oh glorious and wonderful mod

[10littlebullets]

Aha. Will go back and edit those in this afternoon, then.

Hi! Thanks for posting these, I have a question that doesn't really fit in along with general rules, but here it is. Have you thought about making a rec post, where we can recommend other fills from the meme to others?

[10littlebullets]

I haven't thought about it, but makinghugospin is open membership, so anyone who wants to run a recs post can just join and create one if they've got a LJ account. :)

Are trigger warnings needed for canon events? For example, would a prompt need to warn for "Self-harm" if it references Javert's suicide? Should it be listed as "canon self-harm"?

[10littlebullets]

Content notes, including warnings, are at the poster's discretion; the only thing that wouldn't be kosher is putting "NKMWA" on a prompt or fill that involves Javert's suicide. How much you want to note, the point when something becomes prominent enough to merit a note, what things you want to warn for: all your call. If you want to list "canon suicide," "canon self-harm," "mention of self-harm," or similar in the header of a prompt, that's recommended but not mandatory.
