Loose Lips Sink Ships Is Officially Released from Service



A huge thank you to everyone who left prompts, posted fills, beta read, cheerled, commented and were generally part of the LLSS family over the last two years. It's been an amazing voyage, and we're very grateful to all of you.

Once we get all the boxes ticked, the prompt section of the meme will be going to read only. However, you will still be able to leave fills, should the desire strike, and the AO3 collection will remain open.

Here's our final round up of fills, as well as the standings in the points game:

Mail Call #59 (Fortnight of 24 August 2021)

Dick Winters watches Lewis Nixon light up a cigarette.


Gather ‘round, soldiers! We need everyone to line up for a very special Mail Call missive!

After much discussion and debate, your Anonymous COs have decided that the Loose Lips Sink Ships Prompt Meme has seen her finest fighting days, and so we will be decommissioning her on September 2d, 2021.

She carried this fandom through more than 170 fills and 1000 prompts in her short two years of service, and we could not have asked her to do a more admirable job.

The meme will remain open for prompts until that fateful date of September 2d, after which there will be no further Prompts of the Day on our Tumblr, and all relevant bots and chat channels hosted on the Discord server run by our sister community, Heavy Artillery, will be shut down and/or archived. The website and prompts list will remain up as a memorial, and the masterlist will stay open, should anyone get a wild hair to fill one of the prompts left to stand tribute.

Thank you all for fighting alongside us these past two years. We could not retire in better company.

Sincerely, and with all our love,
Your Anonymous COs

PROMPT POOL SUBMISSIONS POST


Got a few prompts you'd like to see saved for this round of Loose Lips Sink Ships housekeeping, but don't have time to write a fill? Your fellow soldiers have you covered!

Several of our more prolific fandom writers have elected to allow the fills they've submitted during the housekeeping event to count toward saving prompts they didn't personally choose. At the end of the event on May 18th, your anonymous moderators will randomly select three prompts to save per fill that has been submitted from the pool of prompts on this post. To add prompts you'd like to see saved, go ahead and drop them in a comment below. (All comments are screened for privacy, and you are welcome to comment anonymously if you so choose.)

Please limit yourself to requesting three prompts and three prompts only! As you would if you were submitting a fill yourself. And don't forget to thank your fandom friends for sharing their accomplishments!
