Please see the most recent MOD NOTE and ADDENDUM


(updated 5 July)

Welcome everybody. How you got here I have no idea but thank you for coming and welcome again, nonetheless . As you may have gathered this is a Fic Prompting Meme dedicated solely to the hilarious and oh-so-addictive BBC Radio 4 sitcom - Cabin Pressure. I'm aiming for this to be pretty anything goes - but in order for everything to run smoothly, there are a few guidelines. Don't worry - they're not too restrictive.


FILLING GUIDELINES



As you probably all know - our meme now has it's very own database created and maintained by the great Enigel. It both catalogues each and every prompt that we post and provides links to fills. You can find it here: Google Spreadsheet

We also have a Pinboard archive which has been put in place by the lovely [personal profile] oxfordtweed in the place of our late Delicious Archive. This Archive contains a list of all the prompts this meme has to offer - you can find it here: Pinboard Archive

This is a great step forward in making our meme just a little more organised (but not too organised of course. This is Cabin Pressure) which is always a good thing.

So in order to make things easier to archive - Please nest your fills.

This can be done by either posting each part as a reply to that part's immediate predecessor, OR by replying each time to Part I OR - well you get the idea :D

It makes it simpler for Enigel and myself to link fills in a clean and clear manner. Following these guildelines will be very much appreciated guys :D

REPROMPTING



Reprompting is allowed but please include the URL of the original prompt when you do so. It will make it infinitely more easy to Archive which would make both Enigel and I very happy :)

As for everything else



  1. Be respectful to one another. Disagreements are fine, but not everything disagreeable is trolling. If you suspect someone of trolling, just ignore it. If you cannot respond to a comment without attacking or trolling someone else, keep it to yourself.

  2. No bashing prompts. It might not be your cup of tea - but obviously someone wants it enough to go to the effort of requesting it. So just scroll past it.

  3. Prompt away as much as you like guys - seriously, go wild - but please try to fill as well.

    4. NEW - If your fill includes a major element that veers from the original prompt (crossovers, established universes, kinks, et cetera), please take a few moments to check with the OP that such additions are welcome. This has caused problems in the past and it only takes a few moments of your time.
  4. Please no RPF. I'm not trying to oppress you RPF writers and enthusiasts, I would just really like to avoid any legal problems.

  5. When you post a fill (or post a new part of a WIP) please go over to the Filled Prompts Post (if it is complete) or the WIP Post (if there are still more parts to come) and, following each post's guideline's, post a link to this fill or new part.


REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM



According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.

+ Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.

It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.

Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

It occurs to me (who is the person from above) that I don't know what NTL stands for. I shall apply my deduction. It somehow indicates the play adaptation that Cumberbatch was in? I haven't seen that adaptation. Or any adaptation unless you count Young Frankenstein. I've only really read the book. Crap. Um. Damn. I really wanted to write this can I write it anyway please 3:

It stands for National Theatre Live. It means that NTL programmes are filmed and later on screened at cinemas in UK and the world (insert Arthur's voice).

NTL stands for National Theatre Live. :) So yes, the title of the prompt refers to that new-ish theatre version of Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.

Please do write something if you want to! New fills are always a lovely thing.

(I got it right! Hurray for me possessing some vague scraps of my alleged intelligence!)

Yay! I am very pleased that I can still write this. Um. In a few hours. I think I have to do something first. What is that thing, uh. Sleep.

Are you the OP? Because if not, you don't really have the permission to give the OK here. They're two different source materials, and writing a fill based on the one that wasn't prompted is akin to hijacking.

I wasn't the OP

It occurs to me now that I may have written something that I shouldn't have... I was just sort of generally encouraging someone to write their idea down and publish it here if that's what they really wish to do, but I'm not quite sure if this is the right place for that sort of thing. New fills are always a welcome thing, surely, but it would be a mess if everyone started answering prompts with fills not quite what the OP asked for.

Oh dear. Mods, feel free to delete my messages if you feel like they don't belong here. :)

Sheesh, nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition! The anon's comment was meant to be nice and encouraging to an anon who *couldn't* have filled the original request-- could we be a little less harsh when explaining the meme attitude to

Why not say, "Actually, encouraging anon, if the bookverse anon wants to write bookverse, someone should post a separate comment specifically for that prompt, and then she can write her fic there. Then it's more likely that the NTL request will get written." Without all the accusing and "you're doing it wrong!!"

SA: ok, I'm an Arthur this morning and can't finish my sentences. But you get the idea. We don't have to stomp anons. Just explain nicely, no one wants to be rude.

Hey guys, this was purposefully a very open-ended prompt.

DO WHAT YOU WANT AS LONG AS MARTIN IS FRANKENSTEIN REINCARNATED.

I really don't mind what you do. Really. Just getting a fill at all would make me happy.

Alright. Ok? Cool. Cheers.

Still OP

I don't mind if you go book!verse, I only put NTL because that would make sense why Martin looks just like Frankenstein or whatever. And because I've only read snippets of the book, but seen the entire play. So yeah. But if you wanna fill, then go for it, whatever verse you want.
