We have one main prompt post that's every show and every prompt. This will ebb and flow in some interesting new ways that I'm really excited to see. But we also have separate prompt posts for each show that move a little slower.
I really like this idea because I feel like not separating prompt posts is important because I want this kinkmeme to feel like a weird community instead of lots of little communities that all happen to be related. And I definitely already feel that the discussions page is a separate thing from the main prompt page so having lots of prompt pages seems even worse.
But I also don't like how focused on Matt/Foggy all the current prompts are, which is why I don't currently bother to keep up with it. And if that ship and the show are going to remain as popular as they are (which is still pretty impressive, considering how long ago the show came out) than I want to be able to view prompts without that focus and that juggernaut ship. In general having a main and lots of separate prompt posts will make it so that people who can keep up with whatever pace the main prompt posts moves at can follow it. But people who get overwhelmed by it can pull back into the prompt post for the show or shows they are most interested in and no longer have to scroll through comments that aren't interesting to them.
But this also seems really confusing, huh? I just wanted to put it out there and see if it's a possibility. I think discussions would happen not on the main thread just to keep it short and like a summary. I don't know if there's an easy way to not allow replies to comments? And I also don't know if it's possible to have some code or something that says, "If someone comments on x also post that comment in y without making a new link" or if that's not a thing. Other wise it would rely on people posting the same thing in two places which could get screwy.
