Hi, thanks for organizing this! I'm atamascolily on AO3, tumblr, and Dreamwidth--I write a lot about Star Wars (especially Legends), Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and various small fandoms. I'm especially interested in symbolism, worldbuilding, and the unexpected connections, influences, and references that shape a work and/or transform my perceptions of it.
A lot of my meta posts fall into the "review" category and thus would not be acceptable by AO3's current rules, so I'm still thinking about how and what I want to do with them--it's challenging to find things on tumblr and it would be good to have them in a more accessible form. I'm probably not going to sign up for a Squidgeworld account this year, but it's good to know that option is available. Many of my tumblr posts are also very image-heavy, which is its own challenge.
To be honest, going through the backlog of stuff on tumblr and DW is honestly kinda intimidating, so I am trying to take it slow and simple instead of trying to do everything at once. So far, I've posted one new meta essay for PMMMM and one revised and expanded tumblr post about Kushiel's Legacy series worldbuilding to the AO3 collection, which feels like a good start!
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!
