marchmetamatterschallengeIt's February 1, so that means the kickoff to this year's March Meta Matters Challenge is just 4 weeks away! As usual, the challenge involves locating and copying over meta you've created to a second site in order to ensure its preservation. There will also be several prompts for creating new meta.
As discussed last year, and recorded in our FAQ it's recommended to cross post meta to SquidgeWorld where all types of it are welcome. Additionally, Squidge offers image hosting for fandom content, so if your meta includes images and you need a host, the site will suit.
This does not mean that any challenge participant must use SquidgeWorld, however. If you would prefer to use AO3, to copy content from Tumblr to Dreamwidth, to ensure content is backed up at the Internet Archive, etc. you can choose whatever second destination you would like. The MMM Challenge is primarily concerned with preserving meta so that it doesn't disappear or get lost with site changes, and secondarily with ensuring meta can be easily found so that people can engage with it. Some sites do better at ensuring these things than others.
Feel free to ask questions here about the challenge, locations, etc. Otherwise look for our opening post on March 1!
