OOC DISCUSSION.

OOC DISCUSSION


This is an attempt to centralize TLH memes and, perhaps, even smut memes in general. So far, it's only a shaky experiment, but I would like to get feedback for future endeavors and how to proceed from this point.

IP logging is off, anon commenting is on. Talk to your heart's content!

Update: TLH mod and I are in contact. Hopefully, we will figure something out! I'm going to try and get in touch with the bakerstreet mod, as well. Also, I've just talked to some meme socks and they've told me they'll be willing to make exclusive content just for this meme. Lots of fun stuff in store.

no real horse in this race, but doubt it will work: 'gen' sums up a lot of different genres, whereas shipping/smut are essentially a (very popular) niche. most people who play in smut memes will also want to take a look at gen memes (which are usually open to shipping/smut options anyway) as well, and bakerstreet is a currently reliable and convenient way to get both gen and smut via the same community. so they'll keep only checking bakerstreet, and you'll end up having to link your individual memes to bakerstreet in order to get replies to them, which will not exactly solve the issue you are trying to address.

one thing i guess you might try - but would mean a bit of work on the mods' part - would be to post smut memes here and then to make a daily text/link-only compilation post that would get posted in the evening, in the vein of the sunday meme round-up. that would, in theory, both get your memes some traffic, advertise them to interested parties, and "spare" the virginal eyes of some bakerstreet goers.

speaking as someone who only plays gen, i don't really think there's a need for two communities, but that's just me and my 'scroll away' policy.
