Tumblr alerts y/n?

[(Anonymous)]

This meme has got 50+ prompts in a matter of days already. And I know you advertised on tumblr. Would it be possible to have a tumblr post whenever a prompt is filled? Or like once a week with all new fills?

Re: Tumblr alerts y/n?

[killalla]

Posting every time that a prompt is filled might be a bit much (especially as many authors will hopefully also be posting their fic to AO3, personal journals or directly to tumblr), however, it seems like it might be helpful to provide a weekly summary post or similar, so we're investigating the mechanics of doing that. We'll keep folks informed. If anyone is particularly knowledgeable about ways to automate part or all of this process, please feel free to give advice or make suggestions!

Re: Tumblr alerts y/n?

[the_machine_mod]

FYI we now have a Tumblr account where our bookmarker/archivist will be posting weekly round-ups of filled prompts! It will be at meme-of-interest. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for taking care of this, I imagine it's quite some work with all the prompts and comments in one big post. Appreciate it!

I am very sorry

[(Anonymous)]

I screwed up posting a prompt and in the process of trying to fix it screwed it up even more.

The last of my three attempts would be the correct one if you'd like to delete the two before it.

These two are incorrect:

and

http://meme-of-interest.dreamwidth.org/1507.html?replyto=90339

Again, sorry. I've never posted to an anonymous meme before and my enthusiasm carried me away.

Re: I am very sorry

[neery]

No problem, deleted them for you.

Re: I am very sorry

Thank you. I will do better in future. *g*

Reposted a Fill

[orockthro]

Hi,
I failed to label my fill correctly and reposted it. I deleted the original fill but there are a few artifacts left over...

Thank you!

No worries, it's done.

Hey, what is the name of the collection on AO3 for this meme? I can't find it.

[liviapenn]

Thanks, we actually hadn't thought of making one! We're looking into it now...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh cool!

[liviapenn]

Also, in the meantime, some people are already tagging their fills Meme of Interest, so if more people do that, we can have it be a canonical tag on the archive. :D

[(Anonymous)]

+1 having a meme collection!

[the_machine_mod]

Right, we now have a collection, Meme_of_Interest, which is here - http://archiveofourown.org/collections/Meme_of_Interest, and to which we'll be encouraging people to add their stories. AO3 have also made the tag Community: Meme of Interest canonical, with Meme of Interest and Meme-of-Interest as synonyms. Hope that's useful!

Messed up prompt and re-posted it

[(Anonymous)]

Hello dear mods, could you please delete the following prompt and reply (addition to prompt). I messed up posting it and thought I'd better repost as one. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience!

Re: Messed up prompt and re-posted it

[killalla]

Done, as requested!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, I just posted a vid prompt and failed to get the header right so I redid my prompt.

Please delete the one without a header. Thank you.

[liviapenn]

No problem! Done. :)

Re-posted a prompt, pls delete

[(Anonymous)]

Hi mods,

I re-read my prompt and fixed some typos. Could you please delete the earlier version here:

Thank you and sorry for the trouble!

Hello mods,

could you please delete this comment:
http://meme-of-interest.dreamwidth.org/1507.html?thread=417507#cmt417507

I added a bit at the end and posted the prompt again.
Thank you!

Misplaced Fill Post

[(Anonymous)]

Dang it. Good job this is anon, haha.

Posted my fill into the main comments instead of as a reply. Sorry guys! Must have refreshed or gone back a page. If you could please move it for me that'd be great, if not I can repost!

It's this request: artist!Harold offers to paint John or Joss
(http://meme-of-interest.dreamwidth.org/1507.html?thread=436195#cmt436195)

The fill is: A Subtle Art (1/?)

Hey mods! I know that filled prompts have been collected in various ways before now, but the other day I had the thought that it might be cool to make a tumblr for posting unfilled prompts -- with links back to the meme, of course! -- in the style of daily prompt blogs. A few people have expressed interest, and if no one else wanted to tackle it, I'd be happy to give it a try, but I wouldn't want to start on that without running it past you first. What do you think?

Tumblr for Unfilled Prompts

[killalla]

I think it's a fine idea, personally, but I haven't checked with other mods yet. I'll do so, and let you know of any feedback.

Re: Tumblr for Unfilled Prompts

[enemyofperfect]

Belatedly: Thank you! It seems like this would be relatively easy to put into practice, if there aren't any objections -- but on the other hand, I've never done anything like this before, so if there has been any feedback, I'd be very happy to hear it.

[talkingtothesky]

Hi mods! A few of us are curious about maybe setting up a Prompt Post 02 to revive the prompt meme here on Dreamwidth? Would one of you be up for doing that, or giving a new mod posting access to be able to do that?

[killalla]

I'm not that active in fandom or dreamwidth at the moment, so I am happy to hand off to someone else. Can you give me the journal name for the new mod, and I will try to run it by the others and then set the new mod up in my place?

[talkingtothesky]

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, you're awesome! :D

Would it be possible for us to post as the_machine_mod? talkingtothesky and st_aurafina

[killalla]

Based on the response I've had from other mods, I've added you as a mod for this community as talkingtothesky. I'm happy to do so for st_aurafina but can't find them as a member. I've send an invitation for them to join, and will add them as a mod when they do (or you can, as you have that ability as a mod now). Apologies, but I don't have access to the_machine_mod account.

[st_aurafina]

Hi! Did you have any luck with the other mods?

[killalla]

No responses yet - I have suggested I will action before month end unless I have any objections. Also, I may only be able to add folks as individuals, rather than the named account.

[killalla]

I've added talkingtothesky as a mod for this community, and I've tried to add you but couldn't find you as a member. I've sent you an invitation to join, and once you do, either I or talkingtothesky can add you as a mod. Apologies, but I don't have access to the_machine_mod account.
