Hey everyone, here's a mod contact post.

You can use it to talk to me, ask me things, let me know when you want something deleted and if there's arguments going on on the meme.

Not really. People ask the OP questions all the time when they're changing something about the universe. And there has actually been wank when something has been changed beyond gender.

Respectful communication and dialog is totally possible, without 20 questions required. This is an interactive forum, with fans kind of working together to bring stories about. When you're filling someone else's prompt and kink, talking to each other and being respectful of different kinks is a plus, and I think we're all capable of that.

That said, I'm also on the side of when things get filled, great. That's pretty awesome. They can be filled more than once, and not everyone has to be on board with the nature of all fills for a certain prompt.

I do mostly agree with you, more communication always good. But however much communication you do you always have the risk of the prompter not liking the fic and there should be an awareness from both parties that that could happen

I more meant that if your saying you have to for gender but we don't say you have to ask for anything else that would be treating one particular change that can be made in fic differently to others. Its probably a good idea to check things your adding to the prompt or canon but you aren't really required to, is a completely different to having a rule solely about gender. I didn't mean don't communicate at all, sorry didn't mean to give that impression.

And while, yes, there has been wank on other things being changed the overwhelming majority of responses on here and other kink memes to things being changed from the prompt or canon that prompter wasn't so up for is 'oh I wasn't expecting whatever (idk writing a modern au or something) but thank you for the fill' and not a thread like this after something happening once (and in this case in a way that didn't really effect the story). People are reacting much more strongly against the idea that to read fic they might have to read about people who aren't cis (or aren't a binary gender? I imagine that's a factor as well - I get that we're talking in the context of changing gender in general but the fact that the characters genders changed and they were therefore not cis is a factor in the response this has generated) than to most other things I've ever seen, I would not say its exactly the same by any means. Someone said something about not making the meme a hostile place for fillers? I think that applys here. If writers aren't allowed to deviate from canon I think we'll end up with a problem (and that's also a more problematic precident than 'occasionally someone may write a character as a different gender without asking')

(As a slight side note: making for example a (presumably, let's be honest in most media this is an assumption) cis male character into a trans male character is not a gender change, character is still the same gender the clues in the word male. Some people in other parts of this thread seem to be getting slightly confused about that. And that's basically the last thing I have to say on this cause the mods handled this very well and has essentially gone 'like everything else you might change in fic asking is advisable but not mandetory')
