I'm very new to this meme and i'm in fact the Ace!OP from the previous post, but I second your request! (Though not as much the explicit part, but I know how to scroll)

As another anon who knows how to scroll past explicit content: I'm so sorry you joined us in the middle of a million explicit slave/non-con prompts and fills. And the occasional Hamilton thing that I don't follow mostly because I'm not familiar with the play. I don't know that I'd think it was worth commenting, if I'd started on this round. It's almost not worth scrolling anymore as it is.

It's not like there aren't vanilla prompts thrown in there occasionally too, though. It's just that nobody's responding to them. Feel free to respond yourself, anon! You don't have to post a prompt or a fill; sometimes there's loads of discussion that's fun to read that isn't quite either. And then the rest of us vanilla (including non-explicit, in my case) lovers will have fun reading (and maybe even replying to) your posts!

Please?

DA

I normally LOVE badwrongshit power imbalance stuff, and even I wish there was more variety and more pining/fluffy staple stuff

tragically I'm terrible at writing anything other than angsty porn but maybe I'll do more prompts

I still maintain that the slave fics are being filled by like... two people. Maybe three, lol.

Like, it seemed a couple posts back there were a lot of matt/fisk/vanessa shippers on this meme, but in reality there were only like... 5 people who were really active who were doing all the prompting and filling for that pairing.

A lot of people have moved on from the fandom.

AYRT: I'm not denying that it's probably just a few people who are filling those prompts. It's just that they're the only ones talking, right now. I wouldn't even mind all that much, except that everyone who *is* talking is fascinated by Opposite!Matt, and bleh.

And I think people may wander back, depending upon how well Season Two of Daredevil does. That's just what people in general *do*.

(How popular is the Jessica Jones post right now? I haven't finished the season yet, so I haven't really ventured over there. I'm just curious. It doesn't look like it has all that many comments...)

The Jessica Jones post is sort of... meh? I wish it was more active though. I'm betting on people slowly finding it as we approach end of month, since I assume a lot of people are still watching the show. (I hope!)

"opposite!matt"?

Re: Direction of the Meme

Opposite-of-Ipad-Matt. The one that's all proud of being an elite slave. Just bleh. (It's also Opposite-of-canon-Matt, since one of the points of the show is that he doesn't just succumb to inevitable evil.) It makes me depressed just scrolling past.

"Ipad-Matt" ????

(no, it's okay, you don't need to explain further. This all sounds very confusing, yet also hilarious)

AYRT: Actually, I got that wrong. It's "snuff-bait Matt" he's supposed to be the opposite to. It's not like I care enough, though, to keep them all straight. I'll leave the enjoyment to you.

Yeah, the meme has shed people, but I don't think it shed most of them completely? For many, it might just be the difference between checking it multiple times a day to only once a week or so.

But the thing is, people go where the content they like is. And if they swing by but see that the content here isn't to their tastes, then they'll shrug and ex out of the tab. That's more likely to happen if the meme is being dominated by a specific, niche kink. There is NOTHING WRONG with those prompts getting enthusiastic fills, but when they're the only 'voice' on the meme, it feels a bit unbalanced.

I really think if we got more general fillers here that the meme would pick back up. You need to bring in the people who write before you can attract the people who comment, even if it's just for mini-fills. Or another way to get activity might be to encourage the authors who have abandoned their fills to finish them.

Yeah, I think I'd probably flip a table if the meme was suddenly dominated by stuff that makes me want to NOPE right off the planet, like beastiality. Or adult baby stuff. *shudders*

Would be nice to get more comments on the fills. It sucks to write something and then.. meh nothing.

Sure! I'm a bit of newbie though so do you mean here or on the prompts or???

Re: Direction of the Meme

(Anonymous) 2015-12-16 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
AYRT: Either one! Well, I meant on the prompts--I would love it if someone actually posted almost any kind of reply to my Ed the Electrician prompt (which is here: http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/6237.html?thread=11925597#cmt11925597 ), for instance-- but posting here is great, too.

I spam the off-topic/discussion post with meta sometimes, and nobody ever seems to mind. Or you could recommend something (see http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/1097.html?thread=880201 ), or chip in on where and what you think Matt and Foggy did for undergrad ( https://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/1097.html?thread=10799177 ).

I think lots of people retreat here when they aren't particularly interested in whatever's happening over on the open round. And by lots of people, I mean all the people I know personally who hang out around here. Which would be, uh, me.
