I know it might be too soon or whatever but, with all the creativity we have here, i can't stop myself thinking how awesome would it be to have a dd big bang
I've never had to comment anonymously on dreamwidth before and I just want to say - the captchas here make you think way too hard. who would have thought that a kink meme could involve so much maths?
The above comment about captcha got me thinking - when a post reaches 5000 comments, captcha becomes mandatory for every comment. At the moment that's the point where I close the prompt post and open a new one, but how would people feel about prompt posts being closed at 4000 or 4500 comments?
(and I should mention, we're going to have a week long prompt freeze once the current post closes. It'll start today if everyone wants it to close at 4000!)
I thought maybe we could have a post like the Ask a New Yorker post, but about blindness or accessibility for the blind.
Like, if anyone has any questions or if there are people on here who are blind/know blind people/work with people who are blind, etc, and would like to share tips, then we can all discuss them here. :-)
i'm having a go at filling a prompt where matt gets injected with truth serum and i'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this - would matt be freaked out by the fact that he's telling the truth? like, would he say something and be like 'fuck, no, i didn't want to say that'/be visibly unwilling/uncomfortable answering certain questions, or would he not even properly realise what's happening? because i've been writing it as if he's just totally chill, spilling his secrets and whatever, and then suddenly thought...would he actually be this chill...
(or maybe it doesn't matter either way? idk, it's not like i'm using a real serum for reference - it's some magic MCU shit or whatever)
I get the anon-thing. I LIKE the anon-thing, but I HATE trying to follow any story/conversation without the benefits of notifications! I have brain damage from a horseback-riding accident, and I have severe short term memory issues. I can never find anything that I'm looking for. Delicious is some sort of theoretical physics to me. I just want to beat my head against the wall (that helps with brain damage, right?)
Anyway. Y'all are awesome. This is my first kinkmeme. Whump is my jam.
Guyssssssss what exactly does YKINMKATO stand for? I mean, I know it communicates the same idea as YKINMK (Your Kink Is Not My Kink, which did always seem like 'hmmm but that's not necessarily true/overthink' to me), but what exactly does it stand for? I'm not familiar with the acronym and I probably should have asked forever ago.
someone edited my fic on the shared ao3 account and i about had a heart attack, omg.
like, as far as i can tell the only things that have been changed are my scene dividers (I used two to indicate a switch in POV and they removed the second one in every instance of that, it looks okay so I'll probably leave it) and the fact that instead of a copy of the prompt, the beginning note now links directly to it (which... is also fine, I'll leave it), so it's not a big deal, but i am. a little bit weirded out. is that a thing we're doing now, editing each other's works?
Um...I'm masochistic, apparently, and I want to maybe look at some big bangs so that I can work on some of the fic ideas I have if they fit and not feel bad about it, but I'm having a hard time finding any open big bangs (I've definitely looked at bigbangindex).
Does anyone know of any multifandom big bang challenges that are open?
In most of my fandoms I tend to ship pairings that I don't ever expect to happen in the show. That's most of the fun for me, exploring relationships in ways that I would never see in canon. If a pairing shows up in canon after I start seriously shipping it I might feel uncomfortable and vaguely pandered to. Often I end up dropping the pairing.
Daredevil examples:
Matt/Foggy - this is my primary pairing and the one I never want to see in canon. Hookup maybe, but not in an OTP way. Matt is already so socially isolated that becoming more involved with his best friend is a recipe for disaster all around, and not in the fun way. Also this would break the long and glorious cycle of all Matt's girlfriends being terrible for him and I just ... can't deny him that grinder. I've been a comics fan for too long.
Matt/Fisk/Vanessa - this is really about Matt and Vanessa, but Fisk and Vanessa come as a set so Fisk is there by default. Matt wants to rescue Vanessa, Vanessa finds Matt cute and naive. Would never happen since threesome.
Matt/Karen/Foggy - I wouldn't mind seeing this! But again, threesome.
Karen/Foggy - ok? I expect to see this on the show so not that interested, but I get the potential.
Matt/martyrdom - not really a pairing but this is the true OTP! Not the prideful self destructive kind, although Matt does have some of that in him, but the real kind. Where you fight a war that's already lost before you even started. Where all the consequences of your choices fall on you like a ton of bricks. Where you devote yourself to an ideal and for that choice you pay. and pay. and pay.
What's the feeling among you, nonnies? Do you want your pairings to become canon? Do you think fan favorite couples influence showrunners? Should they?
I thought this would be interesting for reference, but Charlie Cox spoke briefly about Matt's age during an interview yesterday:
“The way you bring a character to life is in the details—in the little nuances here and there, and so in order to find them, you need to really immerse yourself and discover who that person is. In this case, it’s a man who was blinded at the age of nine and so has grown up with nine years of sight and is now 28 or 29—twenty years of being physically blind.”
If you'd like to link pack to the prompt your filling in the notes, but don't want to have the whole long url showing, just do this:
It's the same concept as when you do italics or bold things. You just type and then type whatever text you want for the link here, and then close it off with (url) and it'll make a nice little link thingy for you~
My English skills have gotten terrible lately (1 part cognitive fog, 2 parts not writing anything but memes) I have 15+ prompts in Notepad that have 2-3 finished sentences and a paragraph more of key ideas in bizarre, unreadable gibberish. It takes a frustratingly long time to wrangle ideas into legible, semi-grammatical English (and fogging up quickly doesn't help.)
I got a hankering last night and I have no time to run off into the wild. I was wondering if someone might be kind enough to give me all the currently unfilled daemon prompts on the meme?
