With regards to the love notes and texts meme and the overlaps that occur when it gets posted, we're thinking that perhaps it would work better on a monthly rotation given how there are other texting memes that come up throughout the meme.

If you have thoughts about this before any hard changes are made, we would like to hear back from you guys.

Things to consider:

1) Would the meme take the place of another texting meme when it goes up, like the Midnight texting meme? Or would it post on it's own schedule regardless of what else is posted?

2) Should this be specific to just the texting portion of the meme? Is there an interest in seeing it as a separate meme?

3) The meme as is may get posted more often in February, like the mistletoe meme in December, as was the case this past February.

4) Any alternative schedules/suggestions you think could also work.

I think making it similar to the midnight texting meme, where once a month it replaces regular sexting, would be a good idea. It's a neat idea for a meme, but the overlap is so strong with sexting, there's no need for redundancy.

There's obviously demand for it given that it's got 334 comments, and there's a difference between smut and shippy fluff.

It's not enough that I'd normally advocate for keeping it around. But given that we're in the middle of a pandemic with several countries enforcing stay at home orders, and, thus, there's a lot more bored RPers, and there is a difference between telling someone that you're making dinner for a date and telling someone you want to eat dinner off of their taut naked body, perhaps delay making a decision for a month?

i'm of the mind for it being monthly, but posting on its own schedule, like word association meme is. wa is 14-18th, so something within a 3-4 day grace period on a later time of the month (like maybe the 24-28th so it doesn't get butted out on feb). or one specific day. or two. whatever. but as someone that plays in the sexting meme, it's not just a sexting meme and is open to phone sex calls too (drunk dials and random calls), so it's not completely writing based (and some people use that).

i'd prefer if it were on a weds or thurs, tbh (last weds/thurs of the month) sort of thing, since that way it doesn't hit the gen, tfln, or sexting days.

i like the idea of it replacing the sexting meme once a month.

honestly, there's nothing about gen/midnight texting that says it can't be shippy or love letter-y or anything, so to me, it's pretty redundant and seems more like a way to get around the rules and have more texting memes than necessary. yes, texting memes get a lot of comments but that's because they're relatively low effort, and even so, there's a lot of top levels and not necessarily a lot of replies.

so i think either just combining it with gen texting, or having it replace sexting once a month - or even just saving it to be posted in february for valentines are better options than letting it continue as is.

there's no need for overly specific text memes when we already have 3-4 to cover it

said everything I wanted to say

it's not better than the midnight texting or sexting text memes in my opinion.
getting rid of any of the previous texting memes to make space for it just doesn't make sense.

there's a lot of people bored at home rn, i don't think having a little overlap with other texting memes is hurting anyone. i agree with above anon to delay the decision for a month.

alternatively just ignore the overlap. it's really a non-issue to me.

Seems an entirely superfluous meme to me in general. It'd probably be better to have a texting meme and just state preferences when top levelling.
