Pimping meta

[aingeal8c.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're aware of ds_weekly the weekly digest newsletter comm for the ds fandom.

Did you know it has a meta and discussion section?

Yep, way down toward the bottom you'll find the links to meta and discussions within the fandom. That's the section where notification of the weekly episode discussion for ds_reruns goes.

However compared to other sections it always looks a bit bare and yet I know there's some great meta discussion going on out there that I'm sure the wider fandom would love to see.

So if you have asked a question on Fraser's manners, made an entry about Dief's junkfood habit or discussed the relative merits of the Riv versus the GTO versus a dogsled I'd love to hear about it so it can be put in the digest.

Seriously anything that sounds vaguely meta-like can be included. If you're not sure just ask me ;-)

Simply pimp the link to your discussion to one of the ds comms (such as ds_noticeboard, ds_discourse, dues_research, ds_slash, ds_closet, etc) and when I'm compiling I'll find it. Or you can pimp it direct to me my commenting on the last digest at ds_weekly.

So go on share the meta love with your fellow ds fen.

And thanks to china_shop for taking the time to suggest this.

Huh.

Do comments on fanfic writing (specifically pertaining to due South) count? I have some stuff in my journal...

[aingeal8c.livejournal.com]

Yep as long as it's related to due south I'd be happy to include it.

Alright. The post that MIGHT be considered Meta about fanfic writing is here.

I really should stop reccing on a daily basis, but the fandom is all shiny and new and I'm all excited! And have new broadband and overuse exclamation marks!

Thanks for those links. I shall include them in the next digest. There's also a rec section ;-)

But, um, please don't put them as written to the reply pages. Especially with meta, most of us prefer to read all the discussion before contributing.

I meant I will try not to code it mode=reply.

Sorry sbout that.

I too like to read all the points that have been made before jumping in.

Dogsled FTW! Hands down.

Great idea to link to these. :)

Of course dogsleds are the ultimate in transportation ;-)
