March Meta Matters Challenge, First Writing Prompt!

[yourlibrarian]

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!

That's quite the number of posts to organize! And yes, bringing clear order into a bunch of posts might sound easy at first, but it's already such a vital first step.

Part of why I am still just about to write my new meta, is because I had to think of the best way to present those incoming new posts. Chaptered posts are a great way for one big theme! I did something similar, I made a chaptered work out the posts I wrote for three favourite characters of mine: Simply because I wrote so much about them that making a new post for each piece would have felt like cluttering.

In return, I decided character analysis unconnected to that group are worthy making separate posts about, while meta looking at broader themes (like chapter analysis) might once again fit into a new chaptered work best.

Yes, one thing I'm learning from this challenge is that there's a good bit of stuff that fits into meta but it often needs piecing together or rewriting before reposting. I've finally gone through all the posts and selected what fits so now it's a matter of re-ordering it into sections.
