Welcome to the BBC Sherlock kink meme! We are pleased to have you here. If this is your first visit, please check out our FAQ. Before you start browsing and prompting, please take a moment to read this post; it was written to help you have an optimal experience here.

For any and all questions, comments, or concerns regarding any part of the meme, use the Page-A-Mod post after checking to see whether your question is answered in the FAQ.

General guidelines:

  • Anon posting is not required, but most definitely allowed. If you think you recognise an anon, keep it to yourself and don’t out them. IP tracking is off, and will remain that way.

  • Multiple fills are encouraged, and all kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance--whatever. Go wild! :D

  • RPF (real person fic, i.e. fic involving the actors themselves) is not supported at this meme.

  • Concrit is welcome, but kinkshaming, hijacking, and flaming are not tolerated.

Prompting/filling:

This is the new prompting post for the Sherlock Prompting Meme. Prompts from LJ can still be filled there with links here or filled here in the new overflow post.

GUIDELINES

  • Anon posting is not required, but most definitely allowed. If you think you recognise an anon, keep it to yourself and don’t out them. IP tracking is off, and will remain that way.

  • Multiple fills are encouraged, and all kinds of fills are accepted! Fic, art, vids, cosplay, interpretive dance — whatever. Go wild! :D

  • Please do not re-post prompts unless the last time they were prompted was on an older part. Simply put: ONE posting of each prompt per part.

This post is for responding to prompts from prompt posts that are full (or were on LJ), or continuing WIPs that were started on prompt posts that have since filled up or are close to full (or were on LJ).

10th-Jun-2015 02:57 pm - The Filled Prompts Post #3: Parts 37 and forward
sherlockbbc_fic: (Default)
Welcome to the Filled Prompts Post for Parts 37 and forward.
If you filled a prompt on LJ from Parts 1-23, please use the FPP #1.
If you filled a prompt on LJ from Parts 24-36, please use the FPP #2.
If you filled a prompt from the Spoiler-free post, use this FPP instead.


This is an archive created to make it simple for people to browse through both filled and unfilled prompts.

Let me explain how this works:

FULL EXPLANATION UNDER THE CUT )
8th-Jun-2015 11:41 am - Migration and Livejournal CAPTCHA issues discussion post
sherlockbbc_fic: (Default)
We're having widespread issues with CAPTCHA on LJ. I've turned it off, but it’s appearing automatically on all posts, even those with fewer than 5000 comments.

In the past, the mods have discussed the possibility of a move to Dreamwidth. Our plans were to wait until we needed to open a new post, then open that new prompting post on DW itself. The older posts would have been imported to DW for backup purposes, but frozen so that new comments could not be posted on them to DW. The old posts on LJ would have been left open so that people interested in filling prompts on them could continue to do so. New comments would have been periodically backed up to the DW posts. This would have left anyone searching the LJ meme for fic with as complete an archive as possible while permitting us the security of having a complete backup on DW.

How will a migration affect the current prompting and overflow posts?
We have had a Dreamwidth backup of the meme for some time. In the past, we have had issues updating comments on posts, and have lost some comments posted directly on DW (by ourselves; no fic was lost, only some testing comments that we made) when updating those posts with comments from LJ. The issues related to that have been solved, but because of concerns like that, I would feel most comfortable opening a new part entirely when we migrate. We could call the first new prompting post Part XXXVI version II and the new overflow post Overflow Post III. People who would prefer to fill on LJ (assuming anonymous commenting is ever fixed there) can feel free to continue to do so on LJ’s Overflow Post II and older prompting posts. Those who prefer using DW alone can use Overflow Post III and the new prompting posts.

How will a migration affect the fic archives? (Pinboard, Delicious)
The plan is to continue archiving fic with links directing to where they were posted on LJ. Fic on future overflow and prompting parts posted directly to DW will be archived with links to DW.

Our extended plans for the archive are to have a second version that contains only links to the DW entries of fics. This is a secondary concern for us because commenting would be frozen on the posts the older fics would be archived on, so new readers could not leave comments on the fics they’d read. Our plans for this archive were to look at the FPP page-by-page entries listing the fics on LJ, look at the appropriate spot on the page on DW, use the link to the fic on LJ to find it in the LJ delicious archive, and then manually copy the entry over onto the DW delicious archive with a DW link. At the moment we do not have enough archivists to work on this, but those are our ideal long-term plans.

I’ve opened this post on Dreamwidth with anonymous commenting enabled in order to hear your opinions and suggestions on this.

Please tell me here or at the Page-A-Mod post if you've noticed anything I've missed.
