This Prompt Meme May Self-Destruct

[kalloway]

I think most people utilizing AO3's challenge features are more familiar with the exchange tool than the prompt meme function.

This is possibly because the prompt meme function is kind of broken. It is certainly less-developed than its sibling.

I made This Prompt Meme May Self-Destruct as a testing ground in case anyone else would like to play around with prompt meme functionality.

All fandoms, relationships, characters, etc. are welcome. However, because there's no attached tagset, the meme is limited by AO3.

Be as creative as you want to work around that. ^_^

And, if you'd like, I'd like your thoughts on the whole thing. I'm not a coder; I can't fix anything. I'm just curious what other people think and maybe if someone sees compiled data, they might take suggestions into account.

(Note: Anything created for the prompt meme is in no danger of deletion even if the prompt meme vanishes in a puff of 0's and 1's as dawn comes on June 1.)

A prompt meme (often called a kink meme) is a place where people leave prompts for other people to write if it strikes their fancy. Most prompts are never filled, most fills are short, there tends to be a lot of discussion.

Here's an example of one on DW: https://age-of-sail.dreamwidth.org/31366.html

Oooh, right. I remember we had one of those for Museslash back on LJ for a while. We weren't really disccussing much there, though. Long long time ago.


Now just to figure out how that works on AO3.

It doesn't work well on AO3

Yeah, I gathered that from the comments I saw so far. But I'm also rather curious if I discover new things. Need to play with them and get happily frustated along the way. :D
