No time to have real thoughts on this but XD;;

I just wanted to point out that LJ/the old comment structure was not the ideal format for anonymous (kink) memes anyway, even if they started there. IT WAS ALL WORKAROUNDS.

What you really need for an anon kink meme:

* A rolling thread forum/sub-forum structure where each request is a thread, and each response bumps the thread up to the top of the sub-forum
* Working search within all forum/sub-forum/thread
* "Anon" posts that are actually tied to a login on the back end, it's just that the user name isn't displayed on the front end
--so the "anon" can manage their own posts
--possibly for moderator purposes
--one-click "reveal" by thread/story

...Anyone got Ruby skillz and a server, I think I've got some time opening up in, like, February for a rapid prototype? XDD MEANWHILE BACK TO YULETIDE.

It would also be great if there was the ability to tag threads somehow so that they can be automatically indexed according to various metadata criteria (filled/unfilled, pairings, tropes/kinks, etc.), which would remove the need for Delicious/Pinboard/bookmarking site workarounds.

It's not in my interest to learn Ruby but if you did it in Python, I'd help. :)

Can fandom afford your hourly rate, Ms Consultant? ;) Although I suppose you can get paid in porn.

In this scenario I would be paid in not losing track of WIPs and having to ask strangers on Tumblr what story I'd been reading. XD

That sounds amazing.
