Prompting Part XXXIV

S3 SPOILER POLICY
THE MEME NEEDS ARCHIVISTS!

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

Don’t reprompt until TWO parts after the last posting of the prompt.

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.

THE FILLED PROMPTS POST
When you fill a prompt, please use the appropriate Filled Prompts Post to archive your fill (there are instructions on the actual post).

If the part you wanted isn't up yet, just wait and one of the archivists will get to it, but please, once it is up, make sure you post your fills there according to the guidelines. DO NOT skip out on doing this because it seems like too much effort. If you want your fill to make it to the Delicious archive, that’s the way to do it.

Do not be afraid to ask questions about how it works if you are confused! The mods will be happy to explain.

WARNINGS/OFFENSIVE WORDING IN PROMPTS
Please consider warning for prompts that may trigger people (and also for fills, because some people read in flat view) and phrasing prompts in a manner that strives to be respectful.

Things which you might want to consider warning for include: Rape/Non-Con, Death, Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm, Underage Relationships, among others.

That being said, this is a kink meme. As such, there will be prompts that could offend you in a number of different ways. Not every prompt will have a trigger warning, and not every prompt will rub you the right way. If you have an issue with a specific prompt, feel free to bring it up in a discussion that takes place off the meme. However, flaming will not be tolerated regardless of origin.

You are highly encouraged to scroll past any prompt that you dislike.

Remember: be civil, be friendly, but don’t be shy!

THINGS THAT MAKE BROWSING THE MEME EASIER FOR EVERYONE
Please nest your fills. Doing so will make it easier for archivists to save your fills to the Delicious archive. Using subject lines will also help people reading the meme in flatview keep track of what’s happening. Finally, titling your fills (even if it’s something silly) will be helpful to those tracking a lot of prompts or scrolling through the meme.

PROMPT FREEZES
Depending on the rate of activity, there may or may not be a prompt freeze when a part reaches 2000 and 4500 comments. However, there will be one when it reaches 7000. After the 7000 comments freeze, a new part will be posted, and all prompting should happen on the new part.

Just saw the trailer for the movie Divergent where, apparently, a Divergent is someone who can control and conquer their fears. "Fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up." They don't fit in in the current society because the government can't control them so they have to pretend to be normal.

This is so John Watson I immediately searched, and failed, to find any fanfiction. Which is just a shame because it fits him so well.

Don't care how close you stick to the Divergent series, as I've never read it. Johnlock is preferred, but I'm okay with Gen or M/J/S if that's what you'd prefer.

As someone who has read the trilogy, I second this SO HARD.

Same here. Loved the books (although the last one less than the first two), and a crossover would be brilliant!

Well, having read the books, I can say that being Divergent is a lot more complicated than being able to conquer your fears. To really cover how that works, you'd have to go into the setup of the Divergent world, explain how the factions work, and what it means to be chosen into a faction in your aptitude test.

So I think if someone were to write a true crossover (which I would love reading!), they'd have to delve a little deeper into the Divergent system. Come to think of it, John and Sherlock would probably not even be in the same faction and thus would have little or no contact. I see Sherlock in either Erudite or Candor, and John... Hm. Actually, he could be Candor too. I don't see him in Amity or Dauntless. Abnegation perhaps.

But anyway, this is an interesting prompt to explore. I hope someone writes it!

*laugh* Yeah, when I posted the prompt I had no idea that the preview I saw was so misleading as to what the actual story is. >.< Then I read the synopsis via Wikipedia and was like, "Wow, way to go preview creators, that's totally not what I thought the movie would be about at all."

I don't know whether to laugh at the ridiculousness of it or groan in frustration at yet another example of Hollywood what-the-fuckness.
