Dumpster #3: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

[trashmod]

Holy shitballs, look at us go. Welcome to Captain America fandom's resident wretched hive of scum and villainy: ROUND THREE. AKA Bad Guys Do Dirtybadwrong Things To Your Faves, AKA the Hydra Trash Party kinkmeme. As usual, BLANKET NON-CON AND NSFW WARNINGS apply: just assume going in that everything in this landfill is unfit for human consumption.

Rules in brief: don't be a jerk except to fictional characters, warnings for particularly fucked-up garbage are nice but not required, thou shalt not judge the trashiness of thy neighbor's kinks unless thy neighbor is trying to pass off their rotting banana peels and half-eaten pizza crusts as a healthy romantic dinner for two, off-topic comments may be chucked out of the dumpster at management's discretion, management's discretion decrees that omegaverse, soulbond AUs, D/s-verse, non-superpowered AUs, and dark!good guys AUs are off-topic.

[Round 1] [Round 2] [Fill post] [Chatter post] [hydratrashmeme Pinboard archive (maintained by greenkirtle)] [Round 3 in flat view (comments in non-threaded chronological order, most recent last)]

Round 3 is closed; comments and fills in existing threads are still welcome, but all new prompts go to Round 4.

It doesn't matter if fills are welcome if the people would write them feel like they themselves are not welcome, or their interests aren't welcome, or they've lost their willingness to participate. Obviously some things have always been off-topic here, like ABO or romanticized rape. The difference is that aftermath prompts have been listed as a gray area but accepted in practice for more than a year now, became part of the culture here, and then overnight became uncool. Why wouldn't longtime participants feel like they've become unwelcome here?

I think you're blowing this way out of proportion.

Because you ARE still welcome. They're still welcome!

This wasn't some attack saying OH MY GOD ALL OF THIS IS NOW TERRIBLE. It's really simply just "hey, 8 prompts a day that are all very similar is a bit much, dial it back". Literally no one has said recovery fic isn't welcome except the people lashing back against the request to ease up.
