queen bee of the Upper Kink Side

Currently cleaning up and linking to unfilled prompts in the Pinboard account.  As mentioned earlier, the Delicious account will stay up but not be updated because of Delicious' limitations at this point in time.

I went into the meme and deleted comments that were under now-deleted prompts and fills,  I also deleted comments from a previous mod, judging comments for not having "kinks" in them.  (Those comments were not made by me.)  I also deleted some of my other comments since they don't fit in with the revised rules.

I added a few stray prompts to the meme's Pinboard account.  (I probably am not updating the Delicious, not at this current time.  Delicious works better now than it did when it was on the verge of closing for good, but I still have problems with Delicious.) 

A few things:

• I've mirrored this community at Dreamwidth, at gossipgirlkinkmeme (this time, the anon meme took gossipgirlanon, and I feel it's more fitting for them than this kink meme).  Feel free to leave and fill prompts either there or here, but I will not, at this current moment, attempt to add Dreamwidth links to the community's Delicious or Pinboard accounts.  And please leave feedback about the site design--whether it's hard to read, hard to navigate, etc.
• Delicious has gone through yet another site change.  The bookmarks and tags can be clicked on, but the bundles on the side still do not work and Delicious hasn't found a way for maintainers to delete or hide the bundles.  Delicious should be still fairly easy to use, but if you're having any problems with it, remember that you can also use Pinboard to access the meme's bookmarks.  (Also, Pinboard hasn't drastically changed anything at the moment.)
• Since I usually don't have a high order of bookmarks to put in Delicious, I will still be using Delicious and Pinboard to bookmark comments unless Delicious does something even more drastic.

That should be it for now.

I meant to post the big bang challenge at the kink comm.  I'll make a bigger announcement later in the week, I hope, but I want to ensure anyone who is curious that all entries in the kink comm are pubic.  There is no hidden post where fannish discussion is held in the kink comm.  WYSIWYG.

The reason why you cannot join the kink comm (but can only watch) is so that I can moderate the posts going in and out of the community.  I do not want other people accidentally submitting posts that have nothing to do with the kink community to the community so I have more work to do than I already have.  I'll post fic challenge promos here and there, but I will never post a friends-only post to discuss fannish discussion.  This meme exists solely for your kink fic (and other fic!) writing pleasures.  And especially since I have an e-mail address and an open LJ inbox, I hated to find out about this news through the grapevine.

If you have any questions, you can leave them in the open post, send me a private message or email me--it's all out there for anyone and everyone to use.  I don't bite. 

I know not a lot of people aren't actually following the mod account, but I wanted to list my changes to the comm anyway.

• I'm currently in the process of giving the comm a complete look overhaul.  I would say my account's overhaul is pretty much done, however.  I've switched from a Basic to a Plus account; the most significant change is now you can expand comments in the comm.
• I am still tagging entries and putting them into Springpad.  What is throwing me for a loop right now are several entries that appear to be unfinished or placed in the wrong area (to the point where they look like finished stories randomly placed in the meme rather than answers to a prompt).  It's a shame one of the previous mods didn't track the comments going into the meme to make it more orderly.  
• I have also cleaned out the prompt section.  I intend it to use it for prompts only.  Once the Springpad is completed there will be new rules.  Hopefully these rules will be lax enough to get in some new prompts in the meme while allowing older ones to be filled.  I am also considering adding a discussion section a la glee_kink_meme  if needed.  It pains me I had to get rid of a discussion of rape in kink memes...but it wasn't a prompt or a fill.  And, for starters, you may want to read this article about rape in fanfic for a defense of rapefics.  Also, check this wiki article out about the history of rapefics.  Hopefully, as your new mod, all kinks will be successfully defended as valid kinks, no matter how squicky others find the kink.
   

I've tried to independently reached out to some people who have left comments, but have gotten no responses so I'll open this up to the main floor. Anyone interested in taking over the community, please send your e-mail address to gganon_mod as a message via livejournal and I'll hand over the keys. Simple as that. Good luck!
