Where: IJ - your journal, your favourite fandom comm,

picket_line (the place for LJ strikers to meet), in comments of other people's meta, wherever you enjoy posting and commenting.

When: Friday, March 21, midnight to midnight, anywhere on earth. (So, if it's already Friday somewhere in the world, go ahead and post - if it's still Friday somewhere in the world, go ahead and post.)

	Is Size All That Matters? Or, How Do Bad Fics Become Classics? I am asking nicely that comments be kept both civil and limited to Slash fandom, but it's more of a discussion starter than a full meta piece. A mystery I've always wondered about! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's still before midnight Friday where I am. I put up a "welcome" post to this comm here. Maybe I'll get all inspired and write an actual profile. (I've had an insanely busy couple of days, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to jump in and do meta memes. But I'm thrilled to see so many responses to Meta Friday; maybe this'll start a habit.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	svartalfur 2008-03-22 07:25 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm absolutely thrilled, too. I mean, this was really spontaneous and hardly organised at all. Maybe metametameta could have a regular challenge or something like that? Added you to the list. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	iulia_linnea 2008-03-23 01:26 am UTC (link)
	I wanted to tell you that I had so much fun with Meta Friday! I hope it does become a popular thing. :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

*hugs you* It was really fun for me to see all this - I was out of town and after helping plan it, I couldn't even be online for it! *pouts* Svartalfur and skuf did an awesome job organizing it!

Thanks for the suggestion! We were sort of thinking this too. Having it work so well, even when it was such a quick idea, makes it look good for repeating. Of course, what makes it so much fun is the meta -- like yours! Thanks so much.

*hugs* Well, no one could accuse you of not contributing to meta on other occasions; I'm a terrible lurker on meta posts (I never feel particularly confident that I have anything decent to add), but I enjoy yours a great deal. And now you'll have some lovely posts to read from Meta Friday! (I was good and read and commented on them all to support the meta.)

Cheers!

	But... but... you add PENGUINS! If a picture is worth a thousand words, that Snarry icon is all that and more. I go all wibbly with Snarry and Brevisse-lurve every time I see it. imagines entire line of Snarry lolcat-sized macros ... sighs happily We will have to make sure Meta3 lures you out of lurkdom more. offers penguin treats (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi - I'm a bit late, because I'd forgotten about this list despite seeing it suggested, um, somewhere. I did do a piece, Fishy Business, not sure whether it counts as meta because it's more about considering where we, fans and users, are in the Natural Order of Things on LiveJournal.
