How to post a fill?

[linzeigh.livejournal.com]

Despite being 20, I am essentially new to important internet things such as livejournal. And posting fills on lj. How do I do that..?

[elipie.livejournal.com]

The link to the delicious on the Fills post doesn't work. Possibly an HTML problem?

Also thank you so much for this comm. It's pretty fantastic and you're doing a lovely job.

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Ooh, whoops, I'll get on that.

Thank you! I've had a pretty great time of it so far, and everyone involved has been super helpful and understanding of my mistakes.

Simply reply to the prompt you're writing a fill for. Include the title of your fill (if you have one) and any appropriate warnings. If it's a multiple comment fill and/or a work in progress, you can number each comment to keep things organized (i.e. TITLE, warnings: non-con, 1/?). Let us know if you need further help!

I have a quick question. Eventually you'll close rounds, but say I want to fill a prompt. Can I post it on my own LJ page and then link back to this on the fill page?

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Well, when a round is closed it just means you can't post any more prompts, you can still fill them. If there LJ comment limit has been reached, then what I'd rather you do is re-post the prompt to the most recent round and then post the fill to that.

[cthonical.livejournal.com]

I noticed there's no cut-off point listed for the round... at how many comments will you be closing them?

Also, would it perhaps be possible to have a standard for character names listed in the prompt posts for ease of browsing/delicious archiving/etc? For eg. real names as opposed to aliases, listed alphabetically in the header?

Thanks. :)

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

We haven't discussed a cut-off point but we'll let the community know ASAP.

And we'll be adding more (including standard character names) to the prompt posts themselves as soon as we finalize the rules.

Affiliate request

[originalsin-mod.livejournal.com]

Would you like to affiliate with xmen_kink? It does have a First Class post but is also for all other incarnations and Marvel universe crossovers.

Also you may like to affiliate with rarerpfkink - at this point FC RPF is still rare ;)

Just a suggestion...

I just think it'd be really cool if maybe you changed the layout from the standard LJ layout or enlisted the help of someone that's good with graphics to create a a header for the comm. Sometimes the look of a page can really draw people in.

But that's just a suggestion, really. I've been enjoying my time here so much and I think you're doing a fabulous job. :D

[mooyoo.livejournal.com]

Mods, I love you. I love this meme and its friendly atmosphere. I love the people posting here.

You know who else I love? Wolverine and Cyclops and Iceman and Rogue and Gambit and Storm and Jubilee and others.

This is an X-Men: First Class meme, so I'll totally understand if characters/pairings requested on this meme should be limited to those who appeared in the movie, but since you don't have a rules post up yet and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, I wanted to ask how you felt about requesting characters from other X-Men canons.

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

While this is a movie-verse kink meme, I see absolutely no problem with lifting people and plots from the comics -- I'd say keep it related to the First Class characters or universe, but beyond that, have at! Thanks for asking, though.

And we're glad you love us! We love you, too.

[(Anonymous)]

The new layout is cool but there is no way to get to the profile page from it.

[(Anonymous)]

You can click on the little community icon located at the top of the LJ header (where it says "You are viewing the community xmen_firstkink"). Or scroll down a little bit (once) and you'll see the header that says recent entries, archive, friends, user info pop up.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks. It wasn't showing up on mine for some reason. All good now.

[mooyoo.livejournal.com]

Lovely, thank you! Mostly I've always been a little in love with the character of Cyclops and, his being Havok's brother, I'm terribly interested in how he might fit into this universe, but lots of other characters as well could be fun to play around with in this film's universe.

*goes off to think up some prompts*

WIP Fill

[lady-insanity.livejournal.com]

If we're working on a fill and are posting it as we are going along, should we post links to it on the Fill page, or wait until we're done to link it?

Re: WIP Fill

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

You can post WIP fills to the fill list. I suggest you make a note that it's still a WIP as a courtesy to readers and that you go back and make a note (by replying to your own comment or editing it) when it's finished.

Friending meme thingie?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes/No?

Totally understand if it's no, just thought about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi!

It would be really awesome if you could link to the delicious account in the prompt post as well (maybe at the bottom where the other shortcuts are?) :)

Delicious

forgot the title *facepalm*

Heading Mistake

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, sorry to bother you, but I accidently posted "Seventeen Forever 2B" as Seventeen Forever 2A again. could you delete that for me so I can repost it with the proper heading please?

Re: Heading Mistake

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

I can definitely do that, but could I get a link to the post in question? I woke up to 48 pages of comments. If possible, I'd prefer not to wade through them all. :)

Re: Friending meme thingie?

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Could be fun! We'll get it set up -- if the meme keeps expanding like it has, we'll probably post it at the same time as Round Two or something. Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Delicious

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

No worries. That actually sounds like a good idea; I'll add that in. Thanks!
