March Meta Matters Challenge, Check-in 5

[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) What fandom would you like to find more meta for (through this challenge or otherwise) and why?

2) Number of works you've managed to either identify for future transfers, or which you've now moved to AO3.

3) Any problems you've been having as you copy/import your meta.

Remember, this account accepts anonymous comments, so if you don't have a Dreamwidth account we still want to hear from you and have you take part.

As always, if you've got tips you've developed during this process, do share them with the group. And if you can help someone out with a problem they're having, share a solution.

19 works posted so far, probably 20-ish to go.

As for fandoms I'd like to find more meta for... The fandoms I'm in, especially anything Final Fantasy VII related right now. I'm really interested to see what both new and old fans make of the remake. Also it would be cool to see meta that covers multiple fandoms, since it's always fun to see common themes, parallels, comparisons etc that people notice.

Yes! I also find it interesting to see meta comparing canons, although in fairness this limits readership since there are lower chances they know about both of them. I wrote several such pieces years back comparing Supernatural to Buffy, and a few more where I wrote more about a topic and used a few canons as examples.

Sounds like you're keeping pace with the weeks alright!

I know there's a lot of FF7 meta in the Dreamwidth comments of synecdochic's fics, but that's (1) not remake (2) tangled all up in meta specific to synecdochic's FF7 fics, so possibly not what you're looking for?

[nrgburst]

LOL I usually sneak meta into my fic end notes, to explain the motivation behind the fic and how I came to that conclusion via the text. But meta discussion in fic comments is awesome!

[wheatear]

Yeah, I was really thinking of meta that responds to the canon. It's cool to see so many comments from a few years ago though! I'm looking forward to seeing the remake fandom take off as well.
