Journal - "A Kink Meme?"
Jun. 11th, 2009 05:35 pmSo, I might have made an anonymous kink meme for the Sims....
I'll give you guys the link to the comm soon enough and ask you to PIMP IT OUT, but for now I just need input.
What should I allow as far as what kind of sims should be allowed? Because the problem is that you can make ANYONE with the sims and so you venture into RPF and even weirder than Sim celebrity RPF would be the inevitable Sim player RPF. I don't mind RPF even if it ain't my thing, but it seems like it could get REALLY wanky REALLY fast if we start bringing in internet personas and that sort of thing. And wank in a porn meme is upsetting.
So I'm thinking about saying no RPF Sims at all, but am worried about the backlash that might cause. But not REALLY worried. It's just like... I can see the inevitable wank storm it might bring, but I think it'd be good for the Sims comm to hear 'no' or even just "I am sad for you but thems the breaks."
I also thought about just limiting it to premades, but that's no fun! People definitely have ships from other's legacies or their own or even from somebody else's story and I think it'd be neat to have that option available.
I AM SO CONFLICTED.
Tell me what you think!

Date: 2009-06-11 11:04 pm (UTC)I mean... how DARE you! D:
My line would be "sim characters" only. By that I would mean premade characters but also characters created in/for legacies and sim stories. It would be hard to write porn about a sim who is "just a sim" for download, so they'd have to be in a story or legacy somewhere, I think. If it's just in your own game or on a download site how would anyone know enough to write about them?
Also, maybe not just any character-made-sim either. Like I've seen people recreating the characters from Death Note, etc. That would be porn about Death Note characters who you happened to make into sims, and not sim characters at all.
But yeah... hard to enforce. I would assume that anyone making prompts like that would just get ignored anyway. I also can't see anyone using simselves for this. But who the hell knows? There are a lot of crazy people in the comm, and making it anonymous would only up that tenfold.
I seriously wonder how much participation you'd get for this. I think it'd be fun to find out.
ETA: I found your porn! ^_^
I found the comm on your profile and joined it. Now I can be like one of those FIRST POST!!!!111eleventy111 people.
FIRST COMM MEMBER BEOTCHES!!!11111

Date: 2009-06-11 11:21 pm (UTC)I've never actually written straight up smut, so I'll be dipping my own feet into some murky waters for the first time. Sounds fun!
So far what I've got is that you CAN request for Sims you've made, but aren't available on the web or don't even have a backstory, but I can't imagine people actually filling requests like that, because there's nothing to go on. Limiting it to 'Sim characters' would probably work better. They have to be Sims with history and backstory and people have a source to glean information from. I should also make it a rule/strong recommendation that anytime you request a pairing that isn't a premade sim pairing you provide a link to the source.
Ah! I did not think about the character sims either, but I definitely agree. If you want Death Note smut, just go find THEIR kink meme.
I can definitely see people going POPULAR LEGACY PLAYERS SIMSELF/OTHER POPULAR LEGACY PLAYERS SIMSELF just for the fun of it. Which, honestly seems like harmless fun, but not everyone would be down with being pseudo-written about? I just think it might escalate into something that I don't particularly want to deal with. I want to PORN not DRAMA dammit!
I think I could get a damn lot if I can get people to pimp it. I think it'd be awesome to watch and participate in it. I even made a separate account as the maintainer so that if it gets TOO BIG TOO FAST I can disable email notifications. (I probably should do that now actually....)

Date: 2009-06-11 11:50 pm (UTC)But yeah... it'd be easy for me to go there. So easy. I think I'm actually a *ahem* "writer of erotica" at heart. (And I actually read quite a bit of it, if I'm being completely honest.)
I see no harm in letting people request for their own sims that aren't out there in sims stories. It'd be a little sad to see them ignored, but that's the risk you run by submitting them. They really should be encouraged to provide a link.
The simself thing... Heheh. If simsecret is any indication, there would be some of those, for sure, and maybe some Pescado kink requests. I bet those would get filled too. XD But yeah, the problem with real people is like you said... not everyone would want it. I think it would be wise to keep that out.
I've never been involved in a kink meme before. I've heard about them and have been intrigued, but I'm not really involved in any fandoms right now besides The Sims.

Date: 2009-06-12 12:06 am (UTC)I'm kind of weird about smut! I've always been kind of intrigued by the idea of writing it, but I'd be HORRIBLY embarrassed if anyone I ever knew found out about it. And I'm afraid I'd be really bad at it too! I'm also kind of a prude, but not really at all? I DON'T KNOW.
Here's my WHAT QUALIFIES AS A SIM ANYWAY? bit:
1) Any premade Sim from The Sims 1-3 may be used in a pairing at any time. They are the Sims ‘canon’ and definitely all right to use. (ex. Ripp Grunt, Bella Goth, Puck Summerdream, Etc.)
2) Any pairing that uses a Sim who is NOT an premade Sim must have a source of backstory/information on said Sim. The Sim’s background/personality doesn’t have to be super detailed or well documented, but you can’t just plunk down a picture of a CAS sim you made and say: “WRITE THIS PLEASE.”
Also, I would suggest linking to the background/info/story for the Sim you choose. Especially if it’s from something obscure that not a lot of people have read.
3) You MAY use Sims from legacies, sim stories, etc. Basically any Sim is fine as long as they have some sort of basis and previous existence outside of the kink meme. It doesn’t have to be your own legacy/story/whatever either.
4) You may NOT use:
a) Anyone’s simself (No popular legacy player’s simself/other popular legacy player’s simself or anything like it.)
b) Sims based on real people (If you like RPF, go find an RPF kink meme!)
c) Sims based on fictional people (No Naruto Sims/Hey Arnold! Sims/Final Fantasy Sims/Etc. There are probably kink memes dedicated to those fandoms anyway.)
Yeah, if someone wants to make a SimsBNF_anon or something where people write smut about sims players than I am not going to stop them or even give a damn, but for this kink meme that I am creating, I don't want the drama that might go along with that. Especially if someone requested something really creepy and terrible like rape fic using people's simselves or something like that. I just... DO NOT WANT to deal with it.
I have never been involved in one, but I've definitely read through some. I rifled through a Kingdom Heart's one for Riku/Sora/Kairi and Squall/Yuffie, but found very little and a damn lot of predictable slash and it was sad. ;_;

Date: 2009-06-12 01:05 am (UTC)I saw your posts. I have no idea how it all works. Do people post with their requests? And how do you respond? It's all done in the comments, am I right?
no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 01:08 am (UTC)Like this:
http://community.livejournal.com/tweendom_anon/
Then you reply with-
Pairing: JRO
Kink: WHAT HAPPENED THAT SEXY NIGHT IN THE CABIN, Oral, bondage, whatever other kink i might want
and someone replies to that comment with a completed fic.
and then you reply to the completed fic with a HOLY SHIT YES THANK GOD!
no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 12:42 am (UTC)Back to JRO as an example, I used a very literal "fade to black" during their final night in the cabin in the last chapter, with the boys both nuzzling into her. I have an idea of what actually happened there, but all I revealed is in Ophelia's comment that they "haven't all been together... not really."
A kink meme would be very freeing to experiment with writing smut. Like everyone else, the shroud of anonymity would help free me up to try it. I'm sure it's a good writing experience, becaus eit's hard to make it sound good, not cliched, and not silly/funny. Leave your throbbing manhoods at home, people!
I like your guidelines. They sound clear and reasonable. I will offer to help you mod the comm, if you need it, okay? You will likely need some help if it gets going. But again... I have no idea if it would take off.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 01:05 am (UTC)I am totally requesting JRO, 'what went on that night in the cabin' and YOU ARE TOTALLY RESPONDING I MEAN IT.I mean... what?
Yeah, the whole anonymous thing makes it nice, because even if I am TOTALLY sucktastic or end up writing something mind blowingly sexy I don't ever have to own up to it. Huzzah!
My manhood is always throbbing.
I'd love your help! I am hoping so hard that people realize that this is a fun comm that should be filled with lovely porn and not stupid sim drama that no one really gives a damn about, but I DO NOT TRUST YOU SIMS COMM. I DO NOT TRUST YOU AT ALL TO NOT FUCK THIS UP!
no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 01:11 am (UTC)I'm not sure the sims comm is ready for it. I see plenty of sexy things happening in stories all the time, but for every person that would enjoy this and be cool and mature about it, there are people who will react with "OMG, what kind of loser would write sim porn?"
And then they write simsecrets about it.
I mean, c'mon people. It's sex. Sex is sexy and fun. Good clean dirty fun.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 01:20 am (UTC)Also, is it wrong that the reason I'm doing this is for terribly selfish reasons? I have so many things that I NEED people to write for me.
Like Kaylynn teaching Bella how to give a good blowjob and using Mortimer to help her demonstrate.¬_¬
no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 01:25 am (UTC)Keep in mind, though, that you might request something about JRO, but that doesn't mean it would be written by me.
In fact, none of them will be written by me. None at all.
*ahem*

Date: 2009-06-12 01:37 pm (UTC)I mean, we're doing this for the fun of it. Just to be silly and have something sexy to read. And I think the rules are pretty lenient and all that. So I can't imagine them having anything not entirely misguided and stupid to say.
Also! Simsecret is basically the reason that I really wanted to establish the 'what sims are allowed rule', because of how unclear the mods there can be at times and how they ended up running into problems they hadn't originally thought of.
