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.)

Huh, when I put in non-canonicals it returned me to my sign-up and gave me the option to edit it. I wonder what the difference was. Were they non-canonical fandoms maybe? My bad ones were all pairings.

I nominated Original Work and used non-canonical characters, pairings, and tags. For proper science I'd have to try non-canonicals in each field in turn.

EDIT: Non-canonical characters gets "These character tags in your request are not canonical and cannot be used in this challenge". Non-canonical relationships gets "These relationship tags in your request are not canonical and cannot be used in this challenge". Non-canonical additional tags gets the "Edit Prompt" screen refreshed with no error message but no changes saved.
