I just realized that, while I have a lot of discussions and link lists that started as answering a friend's question, I don't tend to tag these as meta even if they are.
Yes! I've found so many references in my meta to another person's post. Sometimes it wasn't even a response, as that they made me think about something I wanted to discuss.
Guides are something so useful to fandoms and yet so rarely thought of for preservation so it's good yours will still be found 🙂
Nothing like a large body of work to make you recognize themes. I don't know as I've seen something in my own work but as discussed with osteophage above, I can at least classify them in groups.
Good that you'll be writing some new works as well, especially for such a new fandom. I plan to address that in our next check in.
TLDR Details
The March Meta Matters Challenge is focused on not just new meta, but making sure older meta gets a chance to be read and remain a part of fandom history. Join us in March to start archiving your work!
