I'd like to qualify my answer to the last question (because I don't want you to think that I don't want you to host it in your own journal. I couldn't care less where it's happening - but) If there were a new community, there could be a prompt meme. Can there please be a prompt meme for this show? You could call it a warm-up area. ;) Just one entry where everyone can go and dump their prompts and writers can go to be inspired and answer with comment fic.
Yes, I would do it myself, but I don't have the time to monitor it. I'd set it up and then let it run its course. :/ Not sure that's what anyone wants. Unless that is what everyone wants (very wild west, almost in the spirit of the show). Then I'll create it in a heartbeat.
I've hosted a comment fic meme before from here at my journal. Actually, I did it twice, once last summer, and once gearing up for the new season. Winter, it turns out is a bad time for limited comment fic memes...
Are you talking about a continual meme, instead of a limited meme like we've had before, or even a kink meme?
A new community though, seems to be what everyone wants. I will think about this some more. thanks for your suggestion!
Oh, that was you! During my recent foray into the Justified fandom (I've been away from fandom for a while - I had no idea the show even had one), I found the Winter/Summer in Harlan memes and looked at the prompts. (Gorgeous prompts, but as you said, limited. I don't mind limited memes, because I don't think anyone minds if a fill pops up in a comm even after the meme is over. Although it's not in the spirit of the game and I probably shouldn't say that out loud to the maintainer of those memes
( ... )
I was planning a Summer in Harlan meme again, after the exchange is over. I like your idea of a limited time for prompting, perhaps with a prompting cycle (a few weeks open, then a month or two closed), but maybe just keep the comment meme open all the time.
I've hesitated to do a lot of organizing of this kind of thing so far, because I came to this fandom about a year after the show first aired, and there were already a few fandom and fic communities. I didn't want to stomp on anyone's toes.
But these types of challenges are a different story than just discussion or fic hosting, and I'm really excited to get it off the ground.
Another thing I've always wanted for this fandom is a friending meme. :D

Lovely idea!

Also! The comments on this post are full of Tim Gutterson icons. I'm feeling the pressure to get one. >
