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: Word Choices in Smut

I looooove the word "labia." It has such a sexy sound to it, a soft and squishy word in the mouth. :)


it's very telling that there are so many ways to refer to genitals -- i think it's a case of necessity requiring invention because for so long, and even now in some respects, it simply wasn't acceptable to use the correct terms for those parts of the body. i mean, there aren't multiple ways to say 'arm' or 'leg' and that's because we've only needed the one term. lexical creativity has only been necessary for the parts that are secret or forbidden.

Yes, exactly! And that's both annoying and kind of wonderful, because all that lexical creativity means that we have a lot of differently-flavoured meanings that we can call on as writers, each word giving a different feel to the scene and the character.
