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.

Re: Grammar, Critique, Betas
Er, long way of saying, yes! I totally agree!
Re: Grammar, Critique, Betas
Anyway, I wish I had the time to beta like that; I really enjoy doing so when I find people who also like to beta/be betaread the same way.
We should make a point of keeping in touch for when we might have time to beta, only with no pressure. (Also, we're both Liaden universe fans, I can tell. Though I haven't read anything past "I Dare" yet. My lack of time is epic.)
Re: Grammar, Critique, Betas
I honestly cannot tell what people think of my beta comments and I have a very hard time beta'ing long fics (where long means anything over about 7-8K), although there are certain people where I don't notice the length AT ALL, go figure.
Yes! Good idea. Wonder when I will ever have free time to do creative stuff again. It better be soon because I have various commitments. Ack!
LOL. I have not read the latest book, but I recommend the books after I Dare. My interest in the Liaden books seems to have waned a little, but since I started writing fanfic, I've hardly read anything, so it may not be the best indicator of anything:D
I think I'm going to follow you on Twitter, if that's ok. I mainly talk to podficcers there, so don't feel obligated to follow me back. I have Twitter locked because I got tired of the spam followers:D

She's a really amazing beta! Take her up on it if you get a chance!

Re: Grammar, Critique, Betas
Do you have limits? Not sure how explicit the Star Trek fic will get (not very, if I follow my usual tendencies). The Merlin one I had intended to write as NC17 because I feel we get so little NC17 femmeslash.
Thanks!
Re: Grammar, Critique, Betas
I don't have limits as far as how explicit things get or kinks or anything. It's all fine with me! I'm working on a Star Trek Voyager fic right now set in the reboot series, so I'm definitely embedded in that universe! Hooray! And while I've only seen the first season of Merlin, I have betaed Merlin femslash before. So, while I can do a really in depth job with the Star Trek piece, I can't help much as far as canon and in depth characterization goes for the Merlin piece. But I'll definitely look at both if you'd like!
