Comment Meta

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.

As a monofannish person, it's always super awkward when a friend is like, "You should watch X, you'll love it!" directly to me

That wrinkle never occured to me, I can see how that could be an issue! As a multifannish person I actually don't mind one-on-one tailored recs of a canon from a friend who knows my specific tastes, as long as they accept that even if I do like the canon I'm unlikely to get super fannish about it. I had some mild awkwardness recently when a friend I made through Homestuck fandom got me into Dangan Ronpa, the canon she moved onto after she stopped liking Homestuck... and then I continued to be much more of a Homestuck fan than a Dangan Ronpa fan.
