Comment Meta

[amaresu]

Femslash Mini Meta fest was an utter fail this year. And I'm still not in a place where I could do it, so I purpose Comment Meta. And let's have it cover all things female and fannish. However you define those.

How it works

1. Post a meta topic in a top level comment. Use the subject line for the meta subject and expand as you want in the body of the comment. Or don't.

2. Repeat Step 1 for as many meta ideas as you have.

3. Comment on other meta topics.


It's kinda like a kink meme, only with meta. Feel free to browse the mini meta tag for ideas.

This is meant to be about as low pressure as it comes. Feel free to write on your own journal/Tumblr/blog and link back here. Respond with as little or as much as you want. This post will remain open indefinitely, so please track it if that makes things easier for you.

Re: femslash production

I'm curious to know what kinds of things people have tried in the past and if they've been (at least temporarily) successful at encouraging more femslash? Like a femslash vid exchange or challenge of some sort? I know you tried to do a femslash vidshow at VVC this year, and it didn't work out. What other things have been attempted in the past, that folk know of? Have they worked?

I always have a dozen or so vid ideas in the queue (some of them are femslash!), and I know things like that really affect what gets priority.

Fic-wise, there were weekly prompt posts going on in girlgay for a while. They all got a couple of responses; I was having a lot of fun with them. Then they sort of petered out :/

Any kind of challenge like that seems like good f/f encouragement. As long as it strikes the right balance between "specific enough to give people ideas" and "not so restrictive that people don't have room to be creative."

There was a femslash big bang at one point, but that seems to have disappeared. I know there's the yearly femslash exchange, but I usually have to push outside my comfort zone in regards to fandoms in order to participate and last year I defaulted.

ladiesbigbang seemed to be going good for a bit, but then it just kinda died. I'd like to see something along those lines resurrected. I liked that you could do anything your heart desired for a bang. But maybe combined with the way ante_up_losers runs in that people create teams? So rather than working in a void you have a group of people working together and making fun projects.

Yeah, I was working on one for a while, but then SURPRISE SURGERY and all the fun that came from that meant I had to cut back on a whole lot. And I think my co-mod got bit by life. And I know there were other femslash big bangs, but low participation plus mods getting busy? It's bad for big bangs, totally.
