Congratulations to everyone in the challenge!

The MMM Challenge is now closed but preserving your works can continue throughout the year, either when you have time or as you write new works. Hopefully this community has provided encouragement and incentive during this month that will keep everyone thinking about duplicating their meta elsewhere, both older meta and new content you write.

Whether one has transferred many, all one's works, or just a few, any additional works copied over during the challenge are works which are less likely to be lost in future moves or site collapses, and more likely to be found by new readers.

The MMM Challenge will return next year. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions of meta-related or meta-possible challenges coming up this year, comment about them here! And if you don't, what meta writing prompts would you like to see next year?

Comments

Thank you!

Yes, very much so. I appreciate you hosting it.

Watch for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (April 25-May 15). The goal then is to post things only on DW, preferably once a day. It's a great time to do any project that you want to gain attention, like making new meta or writing about why meta is important.

allbingo is available for anyone wanting to run a fest. If you can think of 25 or so words / phrases relating to meta, that's a good minimum because it lets people make a 5x5 card.

And if you don't, what meta writing prompts would you like to see next year?

It would be great to have a prompt or two per week. Some possibilities ...

* What is a favorite piece of meta that someone else wrote, and why you love it?

* What is the role of meta in fandom?

* Why do you write meta? What about a character or canon inspires you to write meta about it?

* Which types of meta do you like or dislike, and why?

* Pick a type of meta (like a review or ship manifesto) and list what you think its important components are.

Thanks for the reminder about 3 Weeks -- I hope to be involved in that again this year but am happy it's still weeks off. Hopefully I will be less underwater by then.

Ooh, good to know about allbingo!

I'll make a note of those meta prompts 🙂

I like the idea of meta about meta! :D Very, hm... what's the word... self-referential ;D

:D Meta-meta is a favorite of mine. I've written about reviews, and comments, and various other things. It's good to have those resources, because they can encourage other people to try their hand at writing meta.
