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: Favorite Tropes as Applied to Femslash

I think part of what happened, when I bounced* off the concept, is three-fold, one, in that I tend to prefer MPREG stories where MPREG is a giant WTF of impossibility, instead of something people are on the lookout for because it is either normal or because the characters knew something weird/alien/magical had happened and were waiting to find out what the effects were. (Basically "I didn't know I was pregnant!" but with dudes.) Second, the first time I started to write fpreg it was for a relatively realistic fandom (Grey's Anatomy) and when I was trying to think of how the characters would think about what had happened, and I figured that roofies was the natural conclusion in a world without magic or weird alien tech. And also, too many years of X Ray techs asking if I was really, really sure I wasn't pregnant, even though I am a giant lesbo who hasn't had vaginal intercourse with a dude in literal years.

But, yes, I will tread more willingly into fandoms where magic/aliens/SCIENCE! are givens, and see if I get the same feels.

*by bounce, I mean I thought about the idea and then avoided stories with the label, not objecting to it
