beckymonsterDaft Question the First
What does the word 'meta' mean when discussing a concept like a specific show or fandom? I know what it means when used in a longer word (e.g. 'metamorphosis') but not in this instance.
Dictionary.com is unhelpful in this matter, and I doubt that the OED will be able to help (but I will enquire when I get home) so I am invoking the second rule of librarianship and asking for help (rule one - know where the loos/photocopiers/fire exits/computers/change machines are!)
Daft Question the Second
Given that I have posted the WIP list (see earlier post), would people be interested in seeing what I am writing so far? I don't mean the short stuff, but the stuff that I know is going to be at least 25,000 words long (at this moment - that means 'Tok'ra Queens...')?
It won't be beta'ed (those who have beta'ed for me will tell you - I am a holy horror at finishing off my stories. I despair) but being a total feedback ho...;)
The posts will be flocked btw. I refuse to inflict my raw work on an unsuspecting populace. There is enough badfic out there as it is thank you very much;)
The management would like to thank you for your assistance in this matter
