I'm interested to hear that you've decided to post a concert review, because I have a big long review of an album from last year that I was trying to decide whether or not to post. On one hand, it was written with fannish love; on the other hand, it doesn't feel like it exists in the same fannish space as discussion of a TV show - I guess because there's no narrative involved?
On the whole, I feel like I lean towards not crossposting things I'm not sure about. Like, if it's less than 500 words, it feels unlikely anyone would want to read it. If it's dealing with a technical aspect of the work instead of a narrative aspect (I have a post about splash pages in a particular comic), then it doesn't feel like meta, quite, either. IDK.
On the other hand, I'm seriously considering posting a themed set of fic recs - it's about 40 recs with extensive commentary, so it feels plenty substantive, but maybe not appropriate? IDK. I have a lot more angst about "what counts as meta" than I thought I would. 😂
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!
