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: changing fannish boundaries

I feel like I know tons of people who do absolutely everything, boyslash femslash transfic het poly threesomes and so on

This has been my experience too. But the people I hang out with aren't a random sampling, and I tend to go for fandoms and tropes and then seek out femslash. Hmmm...and I can actually think of some people I know who seem to only make femslash exclusively, but they share the "people I know who make femslash" category in my brain with lots of people who also create het, slash, and gen.

For me "femslash fandom" is just a social grouping of people with a shared interest in femslash, in the same way that Homestuck fandom is a social grouping of people with a shared interest in Homestuck (which not everyone who likes Homestuck will be into). It's thus not mutually exclusive with being into het/slash etc. But I only really got heavily into making and sharing fanworks online around 5-7 years ago, which probably influences my perspective.
