Hello!

As far as planning your fill schedule goes that is not a problem. You're welcome to let prompters know that a fill is on its way, but since we don't do claims here please be aware there may be other fills in the meantime.

On the note of the teasers, the mods have discussed and we came to the conclusion that teasers of more than 1-2 lines may be confusing to some, especially the mod/tagger team who receive a large volume of notifications and need to be able to quickly parse comments and respond appropriately. We've even had some fills of 100 words or fewer, so a teaser could potentially be viewed as a fill because of that. So if you do wish to post teasers in the future it must be very clear to others that it's a portion of a larger story yet to come and that it will not be tagged until the actual fill is available. Once the fill is up we'll tag as normal.

We'll let you know if our stances on these change for any reason (or if we need to make another update to the community rules accordingly). Happy filling!

Cool beans. Thanks for letting me know. I'm probably not going to post any in the future though. I really didn't think it would cause so much confusion--that's why I used something other than the "FILL:" prefix, so that taggers wouldn't worry about pinning it and such.

I'm also not going to be posting my schedule here. It wouldn't bother me if it was filled before I actually did it, or after, but I'd hate for someone to think they couldn't fill it because of it. I've had second fills on prompts that I've used crop up and I personally love seeing what different people do with the same starting material, but if it worries others... Believe it or not, I'm honest not trying to cause drama here. The teaser was supposed to be just a little something nice for the OP and anyone who may have wanted to see it and tracked it, and it caught me off-guard when it was like, immediate negative response.

Seriously, I am really sorry for the drama. It spiraled quickly. -_-;;

It's okay, and the apology is appreciated. The meme has operated on the same cycle for a long time and a very protective feeling has grown in many people, so sometimes change is not well-received. The most important thing is that we learn from our mistakes and each other so we can keep the kink love flowing :)
