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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

AUs. Especially mundane AUs in fantasy fandoms. Seriously, coffee shop, university, office workers, give me them all. It's a trope that seems alive and well in boyslash and het fandoms, and rarely ever seen in femslash. I'm sure it's partially a numbers game, but it does put me off writing them, because I'm not sure being that person who wrote the elaborate Sansa Stark/Daenerys Targaryen coffee shop AU is the sort of notoriety I really want.

I would read the HELL out of that au, as a matter of fact.

I find AUs have less of an audience, which makes me sad, because my AUs are some of the fics I'm most proud of. And by "less of an audience" I mean "two comments is great." A normal femslash success fic is about a dozen comments at most.

i don't really like AUs (and maybe this is a function of most AUs focusing on het and slash pairings i'm not that into) but i would read the shit out of that coffeeshop au. :)
