marchmetamatterschallengeWelcome to the first Meta Matters Challenge! I'm your moderator, yourlibrarian.
These posts will be used for us all to check-in with one another, offer encouragement and answers to questions, and maybe tips we come up with as we copy our work to AO3.
Before we begin, some reminders. Please look over the FAQ as there are some important bits for everyone to follow, namely:
Remember to tag all your posts with the "Meta" and "Nonfiction" tags in the "Additional Tags" section of the posting form.
Remember to add your meta to the March Meta Matters Challenge community on AO3.
(If you've already begun copying over your meta, you can always edit the files to add in the tags and collection assignment).
Since this is our first check-in, please comment with one or more of the following:
1) Details about you: This could include canons (if any) you've written meta in, years in fandom, things you tend to write about (if you've noticed themes), or whatever else you'd like to share.
2) Details about your meta: How many years worth of work are you going to be looking through? Have you already started reviewing fandom accounts? Do you have organizing tips to share as we go sorting through our posts?
3) Goals you have: Maybe you want to back up a certain number of posts to AO3. Maybe you want to compare things you used to write about to things you're writing now. Maybe the challenge is an opportunity for you to start using AO3 as a creator as well as a reader. Maybe it's a good prompt to re-read discussions in your posts that you'd forgotten about. We all have hopes of what we can accomplish this month. Feel free to share them!
Also, if you have any questions not already covered in our introductory post or in our FAQ, include them here.
Remember, this account accepts anonymous comments, so if you don't have a Dreamwidth account we still want to hear from you and have you take part. Just sign your messages with your username and we'll all get to know you!
EDIT: AO3 has announced that there is a chance the site will be temporarily unavailable March 1 due to new server installation. Anyone with a Twitter account is encouraged to follow the AO3 Status account as that's where they announce tech issues or other updates regarding the site's function.
