ROUND 5

Will close at 4,000 comments!

FLAT VIEW for easier browsing.

Also, I want to express my warmest gratitude to crystalshard and maga_tan who have offered to compile a new Delicious archive for
and update it regularly. They are currently working on it, but since they have to wade through several thousand comments it may take a while. Please be patient.

ROUND 1 ROUND 1 FILL POST ROUND 2 ROUND 2 FILL POST ROUND 3 ROUND 3 FILL POST ROUND 4 ROUND 4 FILL POST ROUND 5 ROUND 5 FILL POST FIC AND ART EXCHANGE !!! LONELY PROMPTS!!!

Delicious archive - currently in progress

We will also post our rules here. As you can see, they are pretty much the same as always, but they were spread around in pieces in the kinkmeme, so we're putting them in order now:

1.Please be respectful towards each other. Do NOT engage in any form of character bashing, kinkshaming and personal attacks. ALL kinks are welcome here, as long as they follow the rules of this kinkmeme.
2.Do not use the words “writefag” and “artfag”.
3.If you notice any wanking, don’t take part in it, PM the mods instead
4.Stay on topic - we’re a Tron community after all
5.Post only one prompt per post
6.List pairing in the header and list it in alphabetical order, i.e. Alan/Sam instead of Sam/Alan - this is necessary in order to make archiving the meme (and then searching the archive) easier.
7.Do not make duplicate prompts (Note: You may repost your prompts from the last page of the previous round)
8.Do not post any prompts or fills containing underaged characters in sexual situations. To clarify: any character under 18 will be considered underage.If you notice such a prompt/fill that the mods have missed PM them immediately.
9.Try to post MOSTLY anonymously
10. Do NOT post fics that are not fills for an existing prompt. This is not a general fanfiction community, it's a kinkmeme.

Hello, everyone!
First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrate them and Happy Holidays to those who don’t but celebrate something else I am not aware of!

I have a big announcement to make. Due to the recent debacle with livejournal’s overhauling of the comments layout, I have made the decision, in agreement with my co-mod crystal_shard as well as the approval of all people who sent me PMs to tell me so after my message to you earlier this week, to move this community to http://tronkinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/

There are several reasons for this decision:

1. Due to the lack of subject lines and proper thread links it has become nigh-impossible to navigate or moderate this community. A workaround of this problem was possible, had the administrator honeycuddles been around to change the community settings to have a custom S2 look that would’ve returned the subject lines. However, even if that had happened, this comment overhaul is just the first of several waves of changes that the livejournal staff has in store for us. You can see details here: http://manonon.livejournal.com/6816.html Under these circumstances we do not think it is a good idea to stay here.
2. Many, many people have already reported that the livejournal default layout is causing them migraines, eye-strain and on a few occasions even seizures. Visually impaired people are also reporting massive problems navigating the comments. I cannot in good conscious force something like this on our members.
3. As mentioned above, I cannot properly moderate this community the way it is - due to the lack of subject lines all email notifications I receive from it are identical to each other, as well as to the email notifications from communities I track that are in similar state. On any given day I receive about a hundred identical notifications. This is an organizational nightmare I have neither the time nor the energy to try and sort through.

I am going to be absolutely honest with you and confess that I have not, in fact, attempted to contact honeycuddles since this comment layout debacle started. It has been several days now and I have not heard anything from her, even though this is her community to begin with and as such it is her responsibility. What is more, I have not heard from her since her supposed return months ago. She stopped responding to my messages a few weeks after she “returned” and has been silent ever since. I am absolutely fed up with chasing after and begging her to take care of that which she created. I have done so time and again, including involving lj administration and frankly, my patience has run out. What is more, personally, I find it humiliating to have to beg someone repeatedly to show some responsibility only to be blatantly ignored time and again and I refuse to do so again.

When she first returned I asked her to either transfer control of the community to me or to someone else who was willing to take up that responsibility at her discretion. She essentially pretended I hadn’t even spoken and made me and crystal_shard moderators, then she disappeared again. That is fine, but a moderator cannot solve problems such as the one we are facing now as we have no access to the community settings. Also, even if honeycuddles were to miraculously return again (for a few days) nothing can guarantee that she would do so next time when there is a crisis.

And finally, I want to notify you all that in a week’s time, on 2nd Jan 2012 I will be completely freezing all the entries I have posted to this community here on livejournal. You will be unable to post in them at all. The reason for this is, once again, the lack of subject lines that completely hamper my ability to properly moderate the community. I cannot be responsible, as a moderator, for content I cannot moderate. I understand that this decision might cause concern and frustration and for that you have my utmost apologies. In the new community in dreamwidth I have a set up an entry specifically for WIPs from the old (i.e. the current) community which you can find here
Those who miss the one week deadline to leave an update message on their fill thread about where they will continue filling their prompts can send me a PM later on, I will temporarily unfreeze the entry they are posting to so that they can do so. Once again, I am truly sorry that it has come to taking such a drastic measure.

And finally, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation for all the people who supported and helped me during the time I moderated this community here on livejournal, even and especially during the period when my position wasn’t official. I sincerely hope that you will continue to do so on dreamwidth as well. Also, I want to inform you all that crystal_shard will probably reassume her moderator role there and may be joined by one or two more people who have expressed a desire to lend us a helping hand with moderating and managing this wonderful community.

From now on, please post new comments, prompts, wips and everything that concerns the tronkinkmeme to http://tronkinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/ http://tronkinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/
http://tronkinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/

By couchemal's excellent suggestion here you can share and look for dreamwidth invitation codes so our transition there goes smoother
