nrgburstI've reposted a meta a day from both my tumblr and LJ/DW for March Meta Matters 2020 this week. I made a new pseud to do this, but I still lost a subscriber. (Whoops. Sorry, whoever you are!)
Things I've observed:
Meta that I wrote on TV shows/franchise movies while they were in progress is still relevant when it comes to examining tropes/devices but seems dated in the after. Like the meta feels incomplete without references to what happened in later seasons/films etc. but since that was the info I had to go in with at the time, it still stands? I dunno.
The ability to just up and change your url on tumblr breaks links like crazy. Grrrr.
I'm hesitant to go into tags with negative meta because that just seems like trolling, even if I think it's good meta. (Like my Passengers meta.) Ao3 is set up so that people are going into fandom tags looking for fic on their faves, not me taking apart why I think something sucked. Or maybe I'm wrong and most people are in the tag trying to fix-it?
I am now behind on reading library books and writing again so I think I'll take a week off to do those, then get back to it. I don't have reams of meta to repost anyway, but I like that some of it has sparked discussion and comments in a new fandom space. Like usually I just write essays for Trope Bingo for myself to get a bingo. It's nice to hear feedback on it!
