Community Vote: Defenders Kink Meme?

So, we probably all know that Jessica Jones will be released next month (have you seen the trailer? GO WATCH THE TRAILER). She will eventually be followed by Luke Cage and Danny Rand, and one day we will have the entire Defenders ensemble to write tragic fic about.

My question is, do we want this place to become the Defenders Kink Meme, or stay as the Daredevil(-with inevitable crossovers with his teammates but still focused on the Hell's Kitchen crew-)Kink Meme?

NOW WITH ACTUAL POLL!
I expected more debate, but getting a simple yes or no would work for me!

Welp, thanks to the blatant vote rigging that's now completely useless. It was at about 60:40 in favour of becoming the Defenders meme when I last saw it, but that's not definite enough for me to make a decision.


Here's some of the things I'm considering. Please chime in with your thoughts on any of it or anything else you're thinking of!:
  • Is there anyone else thinking of setting up a Jessica Jones or Defenders Kink Meme? Because if so, there's less point in us changing anything. Specification can be a good thing!

  • This meme isn't as hectic as it once was, but it's still pretty active. Do we want the extra canon to work with, or do you like the speed everything is now?

  • If we do become the Defenders Kink Meme I probably won't change the web address from daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org, unless someone has a rename token they want to donate. (Either way, I'll nab a defenders kink username and set it to redirect here, so anyone looking for it will find us.)

  • Once Jessica Jones drops all in one go, there's no way everyone's going to see it at the same pace (or at all). If we're actively including Jessica Jones as part of the canon we write about, how do we deal with keeping those who want to squee and prompt things based on the new show separate from those who want to remain spoiler-free until they've seen it all?
    • Option one: We don't. It's a free for all. Visit DDKM at your own risk until you've seen the show, or accept that you're gonna get spoiled to hell.
    • Option two: Insist on any Jessica Jones-related prompt having SPOILERS in the subject line. It would rely on people being observant enough to scroll past what they don't want to see, and everyone following the rule, and me being around to quickly screen any comments that don't. Which, eh.
    • Option three: Have an entirely separate prompt post for Jessica Jones-inspired prompts for, idk, a month?
    I'd like whatever we choose (if we do make this a Defenders kink meme) to set the precedent for what we do when season 2 of Daredevil becomes available, so maybe keep that in mind when deciding.

There's a thread on the Discussion Post that has been talking about this, but I want to get everyone's opinions before deciding on anything. I'm happy either way, but I run this place for you guys so I want to do the thing that works best for most people!




ETA: So, this is clearly a divisive issue. My current plan is that we change nothing, we remain for all intents and purposes as the Daredevil Kink Meme, but we still have a new separate prompt post up for anything that involves Jessica Jones. The usual prompt posts can tick on happily and everyone who wants to talk/prompt about Jessica et al has somewhere to go. Thoughts on that?

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.

But with all the DD,JJ prompts all in one will be a little hectic. A new propmt section for each new show it's a good idea.
The other thing is that every fill either WIP or COMPLETED will go in the same sections as regular but with a subtitle that indicates that it's a fill for JJ or crossover or whatever new show is on. That way if anyoen it's ineterest on the story they can read it if the have not been on the JJ or the n ew show tag.

The discussion page is a separate thing. If we have the discussion topic on the same page as the prompts then it will be crazy to follow any new subject that comes up. There are countless of propnts already lost out there and some are really good ones.

I don't really understand this. Too many different posts and one big post with all the same content is just... too redundant. And it wouldn't get rid of juggernaut ships at all.

Honestly, I feel the inevitable result of this is that the smaller posts will be lost in favour of the combined prompt post - which I don't want, because I still want to have a DD space separate to the other Defenders.

Also, on a different note, the discussions page is unrelated to the prompt page. If something in the discussion page sparks a prompt, then awesome, but honestly we talk about a lot in the discussion post that wouldn't fit in a prompt post.

I've got to say the Matt/Foggy focus is exactly what keeps bringing me here.

I never understand complaining about ships on kink memes. The whole thing is that you can prompt literally whatever you want AND no one knows it's you. If you're really into Matt/Vladimir you could post 700 Matt/Vladimir prompts if you wanted and a) nobody would know it was you and b) it would give your ship presence and show other (maybe minor) shippers that this is something you would like to read more of.

I am personally dismayed at the lack of mentally ill Matt prompts and fills because it is extremely canon in the comics. Maybe most of my prompts never get filled but neither are most prompts on kink memes. I still prompt anyway and track my threads because that's the whole point and I can't get mad that not everyone has seen the light yet about my awesome ideas.
