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'm really not sure why "transfic" is a sexuality or pairing category, but uh.

I still know people who largely participate in shipping m/m or f/f, one or the other, but certainly there are plenty of folks whose interests aren't divided along those lines. I don't know that it's really a then vs. now thing, though. It was much the same for me five years ago, only with much fewer f/f exclusives (and more -- that is to say, any -- m/f exclusives). And that difference I attribute to the specific individuals I've sought out as fannish friends and acquaintances, not so much to the evolution of capital-F Fandom.

Yeah, sorry, I mean "transfic" as a genre, like gen or slash are genres, in which characters who aren't canonically trans are made trans in the story - so not as a sexuality category, but like slash in the way that slash often makes queer characters who aren't canonically queer.
