Meta Month: December
Oct. 31st, 2011 06:04 amBefore I go into NaNoWriMo mode for November...
In a conversation a few weeks ago, someone brought up the point that while fic and art and the like is fun, meta is more important to fandom than most people give credit for - that discussions keep things going and inspire people. And, y'know, maybe this is something that I haven't spent enough time on, lately. I always find it hard to even post about the games I'm currently playing, lately; I always get caught up by the game, or whatever.
So the month of December is hereby going to be Meta Month for me, and I'm going to spend some of November coming up with topics. If anyone has any suggestions - and any fandom you've ever seen me talk about anywhere ever is fair game, although if I don't feel like I know much about it I'll say so - please comment!
It doesn't matter if the ideas are general or specific - I'm hoping to get a few of the essay ideas that I've had written for this month, for instance. It can be about broader multifandom ideas, as well. I have a few ideas for that.
Also, if you would like December to be Meta Month for you as well, please let me know, and I'll read your stuff too. <3 And feel free to invite others to participate - the point of meta, for me, is to start discussion, and discussion requires other people.
( Ideas so far. )
