March Meta Matters Challenge, Check-in 2

[yourlibrarian]

Hello everyone! It's check-in time to see how we're all getting along with our meta importing.

Comment below with any of the following:

1) How do you motivate yourself when you're facing something daunting or overwhelming?

2) How many works have you identified for future transfers, or have you now moved to AO3?

3) Are you having any problems moving your meta?

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.

Also, if you've got tips you've developed during this process, do share them with the group! And if you can help someone out with a problem they're having, share a solution.

2) I've moved five so far! I'm using a pseud for archiving so I can separate it from my fic. I've got a lot more to go but I figure if I post one or two a day, I can get it all done this month.

3) No real problems, had to do a bit of editing and reformatting e.g. for posts with embedded video. The hardest thing is actually the tagging. I don't really know what canonical tags are good to use for meta so I've been looking through the collection to see what everyone else is using.

Sounds like you're off to a great start!

Yes, tagging can be more of a challenge for meta than fiction, for example. (I'm sure artists run into the same issues). Other than "Meta" and "Nonfiction" for all works, we've got some suggestions in the FAQ but there are definitely going to be a lot of new issues coming up. If you want to mention any examples, we might be able to broaden the suggestions there.
