the link is here.
our discord posting policy is here.

what is a kinkmeme?
long ago on the ancient website of livejournal, people hosted prompt & fill events on comment boards called kinkmemes. anyone could anonymously post prompts that reflected their hearts' deepest desires, and anyone else could anonymously write for the prompts that spoke to them. after fans moved on from lj, kinkmemes moved onto dreamwidth, but dreamwidth did not really survive as a platform, and modern fandom platforms (ao3, tumblr) did not provide the same degree of freedom and anonymity required for kinkmemes to thrive, so gradually kinkmemes became less common…
but people want them back!

in a fandom world under threat of censorship, and filled with people battling everyday over fandom purity, i believe kinkmemes are a safe haven we sorely need!
and, in a fandom world where creators feel pressured by social media and algorithms to impose various standards on their own work, and to "perform well" and "compare stats" i believe kinkmemes will remind people where their drive to create comes from!
some kinkmemes do exist today, for select fandoms, on mostly ao3 and dreamwidth, but these do not live very long, and for several reasons…
firstly, while ao3 does support anonymous prompting and filling via their "challenges" system, posting on ao3 lacks the whimsical, ephemeral and spontaneous nature of posting via comment threads on lj or dw. ao3 is by nature an archive, and requires users to go through a rigorous process to title, tag, and summarize their fics. fics also gain "stats" (hits, kudos, and comments) which are all things that further complicate the process of posting.
secondly, dreamwidth is an ugly site, and nobody uses it. it is unfortunately actually the perfect site to host kinkmemes on, with all the original functionality needed as on lj, but people just… aren't on dreamwidth. there's no draw.
which is why i have created a new kind of kinkmeme - one that is hosted within a discord server!
🎉the Room of Wrecks Kinkmeme Server is a new discord-based HP kinkmeme that opens next week for prompts! 🎉
i believe discord is the perfect platform for the new gen of kinkmemes because everyone in fandom is on it, and it is an unrestrictive, spontaneous space. the main hurdle was anonymity, but Room of Wrecks (RoW) uses a custom bot that will enable users to send in prompts AND fills anonymously.
when users join the RoW server, there will be no notification to the server list, no "hello" message that exposes a new member, no limits on lurking. the only feature of discord that could not be changed via bot is the member list on the right hand side which displays to all, but hopefully, as long as a large enough population of people join the server to lurk, anonymity can still be maintained.
if you are a lover of kinkmemes, or are new to kinkmemes but curious about them--or if you don't really get it but just want to take a look, feel free to join the server with this link. we would love to have you!!
