1stclass kink

1stclass_kink was a kink meme on LiveJournal for the 20th Century Fox/Marvel film X-Men: First Class.
There were 10 rounds of prompts from July to September 2011. The kink meme ended after oakenshields13 banned their co-mod, soldierly (formerly stardustcities).oakenshields13. Mod Post: Departures, posted 12 September 2011. (Accessed 5 March 2012.) The other X-Men: First Class kinkmeme, xmen firstkink, remains open.
==Controversy==
===Ban on Underage Prompts===
Issues began when oakenshields13 set a ban on NSFW underage prompts.
Many participants took issue with the rule itself, while others criticized the attitude and tone of the post.
There were a few defenders on the ban - without addressing the tone of the post - but seemed to be the minority opinion.
In spite of this, the meme continued with the relatively same amount of activity as before. soldierly later acknowledged in public comments to have written a now flocked LJ entry where oakenshields13 had apparently made this rule in order to troll some people off the kink meme.
===Round 9===
At the end of round 9, when oakenshields13 announced its closure, soldierly (formerly stardustcities, and the co-mod at the time) left a public comment in reply that oakenshields13 had not been contacting them for weeks.
They had a very public fallout, which boiled down to that oakenshields13 claimed technical errors for both email and instant messaging; and soldierly claimed that they had attempted to contact oakenshields13 on multiple platforms and received no responses at all. soldierly accused oakenshields13 of disliking them and purposefully ignoring them; oakenshields13 continued to claim that the problem was technical and soldierly was the one making the issue personal. The conversation had been public because soldierly wanted to hold oakenshields13 accountable, and figured they would be more likely to receive a response in this manner.
Nevertheless, this led to oakenshields13 threatening to ban soldierly from the kinkmeme and as a mod, and then following up with the threat.
Afterward, oakenshields13 made a post announcing soldierly's departure/ban, and a query if Round 10 should occur."Mod Post: Departures" at 1stclass_kink (12 September 2011) (Accessed 28 September 2017) This was received negatively, and many, once again, sided with soldierly and criticized oakenshields13's behavior and modding etiquette.
oakenshields13 did not reply to any comments or make a follow-up post. soldierly, however, did reply to comments on the post from participants who were concerned about the kink meme possibly being deleted, and assisted a few others in backing 1stclass_kink up just in case.
The entire debacle was referenced on fail_fandomanon.
There has not been an update post/comment from oakenshields13 on the post, whose LiveJournal is now deleted. The kinkmeme remains up for public browsing.
==Notable Fills==
* Unwanted Sub (link), which sparked a mini-fill, two extensions of the mini-fill by different authors, a prequel by yet another author, and two pieces of fanart.
