1) Details about you:
I'm Six (or Archer, that being the pen name under which I've composed a bunch of meta.) Adult on the internet, native English speaker with a strong second language in Japanese and a growing interest in Latin. I've written meta and spoken at cons about Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and written and started a website to archive meta for Dark Souls series. (You can find it at https://anorlondoarchery.club. Heads up: the DNS is currently a bit shaky, and it may not always load on the first try.)

I didn't actually realize AO3 permitted meta, and will have to examine their terms to figure out whether my stuff is allowed. I don't think it's ephemeral, buuuut...

2) Details about your meta:
I like to play in the linguistic side of things, examining the translation from Japanese to English. Lost nuance, gained nuance, and sideways references to (particularly Shinto) cultural themes are common objects of focus.

Eventually, I want to touch every named location and character in Dark Souls 1. I'm currently working up a spreadsheet with some initial commentary that should make tracking that easy.

3) Goals you have:
- Get my seven existing essays onto my website. Possibly set up an AO3 alias to handle them separate from my fic? If so, mirror them there too.

I've already revisited the six I posted prior to March, updated and edited them for greater clarity (and in one case, new information!) So that should be just a matter of formatting and posting, whenever I've got the time.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
HTML doesn't work in the subject.

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!
