If you find you have a problem, a questions, or a suggestion for the com- then this is the post you reply to.

I shall try to answer you to the best to my abilities, and I am always open for discussions.

The plan for this post is to help me to figure out if there is need for, and if yes how to put together a FAQ in the long run, but for that I need FAQ first, so please, ask away!

However, if you find yourself with a question, that you don't want to ask here "in the open", but still need an answer too, feel free to pm this mod account- and i will get back to you via pm too.
Also if I have managed to do everything right, anonymous comments should be allowed.

The era divide does make sense when you put it like that. Maybe after round one hold a poll to find out whether people predominantly search for a specific character/pairing or more broadly for a gender dynamic? As for threesomes, I'd say allow posting the same prompt to multiple threads, like you've allowed here. So a FMF threesome could go under het and fem, if that's the type of action you're hoping for, or just het. Subject line gender dynamic is a great idea in theory, but not everyone will remember to do it. If it was in the body of the template, those who are looking for say, just slash, can ctrl+F and search for it.

As for the template, I think it depends on the reason people are prompting. My prompts tend to be vague because I want to see someone else take the idea to places I may not have thought of (otherwise, I'd just save them to write myself) but I've seen others who give very detailed prompts and obviously have the overall feel of the fic in mind quite clearly. Some people also seem to go between the two, and sometimes it depends on the fest. I think it's probably that people get much more specific with their OTPs because they're protective of their head canon. Maybe templates should have an OTP/OT3 warning box or something LOL.

More prompts will be forthcoming!

First: sorry for my many typos! *headdesks* I was doing way to many thing when I replied to you

and 2ed: I will totally add the the slash/het/femm- slash line- because you are very right- it will help with searching- I just hope the folks will bear with me and making everything more complicated to start out with- but later on it is easier that way - we both see that, don't we XD
