I don't do a lot of solo metaing, most of the meta I have are responses to other people's posts. If I either edit these posts so they can stand alone with just my writing or convince the other people involved in the discussion to post the whole thing as a colab work, can I post them?
I have a long ramble which is ostensibly about a fanfic I hope I'm never crazy enough to write, but is actually more of a discussion of what would happen if the villain from one series got his hands on a magical power enhancer from a later series. Would this count as meta?
I have a lot of short meta-ish rambles (think 100 to 300 words). (examples: here and here) I don't think they count as ephemeral; they're just short. Could I post things like these?
Should we link to the original post, or is that not necessary?
How should we handle situations where we started thinking about a topic because of a short (say, two sentence) post someone else made but we did all the actual metaing ourselves? Should we link to the person who made that original post?
Thank you!
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!
