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

Comment below with any of the following:

1) Are you having internal debates about what content you're considering moving versus not copying over?
2) Are you having any problems moving your meta?

It's also time for your first writing prompt! Can you write some new meta based on old meta you've come across? This could be:

* an update to what you wrote before
* current you is arguing with former you about your ideas
* taking the same idea and applying it to a different fandom
* expressing some of the same ideas in a different format

Whatever approach you take, see if an older work you've been rehousing can be a jumping off point for a new work.

Writing new meta this month is optional. If you do write something though, share a link to it in a future check-in post!

1) Yes, there's some stuff that's a bit too idiosyncratic or just plain old and out of date so I don't think it's worth copying over.
2) Not so far! It's all going pretty smoothly.

Also I didn't realize this was going to be the first writing prompt but coincidentally this is exactly what I did with the meta I posted today about the problem with special protagonists. I originally wrote about this topic in 2013 but the examples are old so I scrapped most of it and wrote something new based on the season 12 finale of Doctor Who that aired last week since it got me thinking about that trope again.

I just got a long comment telling me how wrong I am so I'm delighted. :D

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!
