Aside from extremely vague phrasing, how should I handle spoilery prompts? Should I skip them altogether?

Okay, I appear to have only just discovered this and totally missed the prompt gathering while away on my honeymoon. There are going to be more of these, though, right? And I can wait for the next one to list any prompts I have?

Ahaha, oops for having a real life lol. But thanks, we have every intention of continuing on as happily as we are. :)

But I was just thinking yesterday of a prompt/idea for a crossover fic but couldn't think of an appropriate forum to plant the idea out there. So I was kicking myself to find I'd missed out on prompting here. So I hope these become a semi-regular thing.

correction of fandom name

[personal profile] eliyes 2013-02-23 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I tried to fix this by replying to my prompt comment (as per the "don't edit prompt comments" rule) --

In the crossover prompts, "Batgirl (comics, 2009-2011)/Magnificent 7 (TV show)" should be "Batgirl (comics, 2009-2011)/The Magnificent Seven (TV show)".

I got the tv show's name wrong when I posted the prompts (because I'm so used to the fandom's shortcut of using the numeral instead of the word for the number).

If that's the worst of our mistakes, we got off extremely lucky. :)

King of Fighters: King, license, [any]

Erm... [any] seems to be appended whenever there are no optional prompt words after the characters. Just to be clear, here, King is a character in King of Fighters (and also in Art of Fighting), and license was the optional extra bit.

I imagine it was a little hard on the eyes to bring all together! You seem to have done a good job, in all. :3

So if we write a fill, instead of posting it as a comment to the prompts post, we post it as a whole new post to the community? I just want to be sure before I do anything.

Edit: Never mind, I somehow skimmed over the dot point that explicitly says this.

Haha, I think it's time to unsubscribe before everyone starts posting fills :P

I have a correction for a name, I replied to my comment in the prompts post but I guess it was too late for you to see. I mixed up character & actress names, so the single Raging Phoenix prompt should be:

Raging Phoenix: Deu & Pai, rebuilding shattered lives & hearts

Also, may I ask why you chose the filling method to be in new posts rather than in comments to the prompts post? I don't necessarily object, it's just rather surprising for someone who's used to the porn battle method of filling in the comments.

There was a porn battle comm on insanejournal, a different porn battle not run by oxoniensis, which used the fill-in-comments method and posted masterlists at the end of each round. For example:
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/porn_battle/21639.html#cutid1
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/porn_battle/23051.html#cutid1
which is just putting links in a normal post, not having to code whole website pages. So the fill-in-comments method can work even without a separate website.

I mention this because I personally kinda prefer using comments and I sort of think other people might prefer it too, if only because it's familiar/what people are used to and comfortable with, but hey, it's your battle, your comm, your rules, so I'll abide by them.

Oh, and sorry I forgot to say, thanks a lot for fixing the prompt!

Hello! I've posted my first fill and tried to tag my fic, but I'm not allowed to add tags. Just alerting you!
