Friending Meme Poll

[(Anonymous)]

coadie here, prepping to host coal friending meme in namespace as reveals creeps towards us

What would people like to see/not see on it besides the usual username/what fandoms are you into/what things are you into type stuff?

Re: Friending Meme Poll

is there going to be plausible deniability about being a coalie/gentlefailer or is it a specifically Anon Meme thing?

if not, you could ask what people’s favorite thread/coal poll/etc was?

if so, maybe a fandom they wished they’d requested/nommed or written in this year? that’s a good conversation starter.

#1 is what I'm wondering most about, actually! Would people prefer Plausible Deniability, or should I straight up call it an anonmeme deanoning friending meme?

Re: Friending Meme Poll

This coalie prefers plausible deniability? Some of us will know how it got started, but any yuletider who might have found it via a link to a link to a link can play, too, and everyone's welcome.

Re: Friending Meme Poll

That was my feeling too. Maybe we have a low-key shibboleth of some sort so that coalies know to recognise other coalies?

Re: Friending Meme Poll

If you want to do that then why not just make it coalie centric? People that were linked in namespace or want deniability can answer “I don’t actually go there” to any coalie type friending questions.

What is a gentlefailer pls?

Re: Friending Meme Poll

[(Anonymous)]

People on coal = coalies
People on fail fandom anon = gentlefailers
People on lol-meme = memers

Re: Friending Meme Poll

Gentlefailers feels a bit quaint and out of day at this point, though. Nonnies is a much more common term.

Re: Friending Meme Poll

[(Anonymous)]

Nonnies has some cross pollination now. I’ve seen people refer to all members of any anon comm a nonnie more commonly over the past few years. Gentlefailer is obvious with the “fail” suffix.

+1

Sometimes I have to stop myself from accidentally calling someone "nonnie" in namespace. (Or in real life!)

Re: Friending Meme Poll

Gentlefailers doesn't get used much on FFA proper these days, though. It's more often a tell for someone from another anon comm who doesn't spend much time on FFA.

Re: Friending Meme Poll

[(Anonymous)]

FFA calls themselves memers, too.

"What did you write for Yuletide?" Can be a nice way for people to link their fics post-reveals.

Re: Friending Meme Poll

[(Anonymous)]

Yes that's a nice idea!

Re: Friending Meme Poll

Plausible deniability, I think.

It occurs to me that it could be somewhat hilarious, however, if there is a cloak of plausible deniability and that leads to an influx of people wanting to friend, some of whom are wankers of various stripes.
