baldurskink | Rules and Guidelines

Welcome to the Baldur's Gate Kink Meme!

How it works: Post anonymous prompts to our prompt posts. Fill prompts (anonymously or non-anonymously) on the kink meme, AO3 (we have anonymous and non-anonymous collections to add your fill to if you wish), or other posting locations of your choice (but please reply to the original prompt with a link!) Enjoy the resulting fanworks!

Rules:

Any and all prompt topics are allowed, so long as they focus on characters/locations/worldbuilding/etc from the Baldur's Gate games. Get weird, get wild, prompt your darkest, kinkiest desires or your fluffiest handholding.

This is a Choose Not To Warn (CNTW) space. You are welcome to include kinks or content notes in your prompts or fills, but it isn't required.

Prompts must be anonymous. Fills can be anonymous or non-anonymous.

No ship-hate, kink-hate, or harassing of fellow fandom members.

Be judicious about how many prompts you post at once. There's no hard guideline, but one prompt a day is a good benchmark. Try to give back to the kink meme by filling prompts in addition to posting your own prompts!

This is the rules post! Direct your prompts to the prompt posts linked above.

This is the rules post - I went ahead and reposted your prompt to the Baldur's Gate 3 prompt post over here: https://baldurskink.dreamwidth.org/695.html?thread=951#cmt951

Hello. Over the past day and a half, more than 20 similar prompts were very clearly posted by the same person in the prompt post (with two more being posted in the time it has taken me to write this post!). Almost all of these posts have been posted directly one after another, sometimes within ten minutes of the previous post. This has gone from the end of page 27 and has filled almost the entirety of page 28 within less than 24 hours. While I understand this isn't necessarily against the rules re: ship bashing or harassment, it IS extremely excessive and makes browsing the prompt thread far harder than it needs to be. This has gone on near endlessly since Saturday evening. Could something be done about the frequency of these posts? Thanks.

Thanks for flagging this! I've replied to the prompter and will be keeping an eye on future posts.

Different anon here, but I wanted to bring to your attention that after the anon mentioned here continuing to post similar prompts (albeit at a much slower pace), another anon has just posted what is honestly a bit of a rude reply back to their prompt: https://baldurskink.dreamwidth.org/695.html?thread=515767#cmt515767

I didn't see the comment you refer to in this post (has it been deleted?) but to be honest I am not that surprised. The person leaving these prompts has been still posting a lot of the same thing for weeks now and it can make looking through the prompts very annoying as it is always the same sort of prompt, asking for the same characters and the same ideas every time. I came here to see if any one else had mentioned it actually because it does feel a bit like spam and I thought I was going crazy until I saw the comments here. It is obviously the same person because they are always asking for Astarion/Gale/Tav fic where everybody loves Tav and wants to rescue her from some bad guy. I'm sorry if it's rude but can something be done about it? It is just so common, at least several prompts every page. (Sorry for my bad English)

Yes, I screened the comment that the anon you replied to mentioned.

This prompter isn't breaking any rules, and they've been receptive to limiting their posting to only one prompt a day. Sometimes there will be prompts that aren't to your taste, that doesn't mean the prompter is doing anything wrong.

I see. But I just want to say it is becoming very boring. Once a day still fills it up more than anyone else. Always the same pairings, always Abortion or abuse or kidnapping. There is a reason nobody is filling them and that prompts are slower. Friends I know who came here to look at prompts and suggest are no longer interested. It is not fun to look through the same prompt every day asking for the same over and over even if it is not 'spam'. Oh well 😂 Thank you anyway.

I confess I have also stopped checking and prompting bc of the incredibly long and repetitive Tav prompts. Hope springs eternal so I check twice a month but even the chatter on older origins prompts seems to have mostly died off.

I wonder if it would be possible to have two prompt pages once this one fills up? If there was an origins/NPC page and a Tav&OCs page that might reduce a lot of friction in terms of making it easier to get possible writers' eyeballs on prompts they're interested in.

Speak for yourself! I actually ended up back here after a million years through an AO3 fic that said they got their Astarion/Cazador consort abortion/abuse prompt here. This was always a slow moving kinkmeme comparatively and that's because of people's unfamiliararity with LJ/dreamwidth and the desire to use AO3. People are filling prompts, they just aren't posting them here.

Hello! I have a question, and I sincerely hope this is an okay place to ask. If not, I am happy to delete my comment, and feel free to delete it for me!

I used to participate in some old kink memes a few years back in which prompts were occasionally filled with visual fan art as well as fanfic. Is that considered appropriate for this space, or should I keep my fills to specifically fanfic? I don’t want to rock the boat, and I’m happy either way. I simply got inspired by a few of the prompts, so I decided it was time to ask. Thank you!

Yes, you're welcome to fill prompts with art!

Hi! First of all, please feel free to delete this comment if it's in the wrong place. Second: is there a specific time frame that a prompt needs to be filled in? I saw a prompt on the first or second page of the request page that I'm going nuts over, but as we're in the 30s now for prompts, I'm not sure if it's too late to throw my hat into the ring. No worries if it is (I think some of the prompts I'm looking at did have fills) but I'm just curious! I'm still a baby when it comes to kink meme stuff, so I'm not 100 percent sure of all the etiquette!

Nope, you can fill prompts at any time, or even create a second fill for a prompt that's already been filled.

Hello! Is it prohibited to fill my own prompt? Or is it like unnecessary advertising of myself? I participated both in kinkmemes that prohibited and allowed such thing, so I want to know what should I do here. Thank you!

You're welcome to fill your own prompt!

So the kinkmeme's getting big enough that it might be worth looking into some kind of archiving, to make it easier to search for various prompts/characters/kinks? There used to be quite a lot on pinboard and similar sites, eg the dragon age one here https://www.pinboard.in/u:dragonage_kink

If there’s enough interest, I’d be willing to buy a pinboard and set it up (although help would be appreciated if anyone wants to join me in going through prompts!) Or if anyone knows a good/free alternative to pinboard that would work, that’d be great. It might be helpful to have something that lets people filter *out* results, rather than just filter in, which I don’t know if pinboard allows.

I don't know what site would be best, and I'm not able to pay for an account anywhere now, but I'm happy to do the work of actually cataloguing the prompts on Pin board or any other site nonnies would suggest! (Feel free to comment here or email withinadream27@gmail.com)

so, the bg3 prompt post is getting pretty large (hit 2000 replies!) and is therefore a bit hard to sort through, so was wondering if it may make sense to make some ship-specific prompt posts? i know on some larger kink memes they do a separate post for the most popular character/ship(s). idk what would make the most sense (other than "Astarion(/Tav)".

We're really a fairly small kink meme overall, so I don't think we can sustain multiple prompt posts. I'm looking into ways to catalog prompts for easy and off-Dreamwidth browsing, so stay tuned for that! (As well as a few kink meme events coming soon)
