...this was a lot less nerve-wracking when it was anon, but sure, here is my traditional dump of meta panel ideas. :P (As usual, I am willing to mod up to about three of them, but with varying levels of competence and preparation.)


Title: Large Fandom Speed Dating
Category: Meta, Multi-Fandom, Single Fandom, How-to
Description: You're between fandoms, and you want something where there will be new fic every day - let us match you with the large fandom you've been waiting for.
Other notes: I never did small fandom speed dating because I have enough small fandoms already, but I think a lot of us are in-between large fandoms right now, so let's try this one instead.


Title: Fandom in Translation
Category: Meta, Multi-Fandom
Description: Let's talk about fandoms where the canon isn't in English - which includes about 1/3 of the most popular fandoms on AO3 right now - or where there are active fans in languages other than English. How do we work around the language divide to get to our fanfic?


Title: Fans Dig Robots!
Category: Multi-fandom
Description: Robots and AIs and cyborgs and jaegers and astromechs and gynoids and constructs and ancillaries and Cybertronians, oh my!

Title: Zines and Archives
Category: Multi-Fandom
Description: Learn all about non-computer-based fanfic. What are zines and zine fandom like? How do you read them, learn about them, make them, own them, archive them?
Notes: Perhaps we will get very ambitious and make our own hectograph or screenprint mini-zine! (in which case we will need at least two hours.)

Title: Ducks Update
Category: Multi-Fandom
Description: It's been eight years since we last checked in on those sinister ducks that are infiltrating all our fandoms. Will we finally unravel the conspiracy? I'll bring the red string and thumbtacks. Remember, all human passions are fleeting compared to the massive continuity of ducks.

Title: You Must Be At Least Four Centuries Old To Enter
Category: Multi-Fandom
Description: The best fandoms are the old fandoms. The really old fandoms. From Shakespeare to Gilgamesh to the Sagas of the Icelanders, when will our OTPs finally get together? Which ancient text is slashiest? Which is the best adaption of Journey to the West? Is 道 really best translated as the "The Discourse"? What is our favorite Julius Ceasar joke? And will we finally solve, once and for all, the question of whether Achilles was a bottom?

Title: Learn to SMOF
Category: Meta, how-to
Description: The Secret Masters of Fandom are the people who run cons, code and maintain websites, organize events, volunteer behind the scenes, and so on. Do you want to be one? Come learn how to join the cabal!
Notes: OR IS IT ALL ACTUALLY RUN BY DUCKS

Title: poly
Category: meta
Description: Poly ships are great.
Note: description to be filled in by whoever ends up modding this.

Title: How Slash Fandom Talks To Itself
Category: Meta
Description: Fandom is all over the web, on a bunch of different social media sites with different norms and formats, and seems to still be seeking a perfect home. Where are we now? How do those places work, and how can people find fandom friends in them? What do we want in an online home for slash fandom?

Title: Exquisite Fic
Category: Activity
Description: Let's write a slash fic together! One sentence at a time! Without seeing anything but the previous sentence!
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
