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.
Oh, I have to completely disagree on this one. I remember that in SPN fandom, for example, there was a community set up exactly to host posts about the technical side of the show, such as lighting or cinematography, set decoration and costuming. I would certainly say that anything that's analytical is a meta piece.
That's why I decided against the con panel transcripts, because while I imagine I included some asides in different parts, they were really just reporting who said what.
And I suspect part of why I hesitated at first regarding the concert review was because I haven't been in a music fandom for some time. But once I started to read through the post I realized it wasn't that different. Although I don't think I posted album reviews at my LJ I definitely wrote them in years past, and have been thinking about posting those as well as I believe I have them saved in a folder somewhere.
And it's funny you should mention themed recs because I just wrote up a new meta post yesterday night which I planned to transfer to AO3 today. I was thinking of using it as the first chapter to a series of vid rec posts which discussed how they serve as commentary on the canon.
