Final Fantasy Meta

Now, admittedly, we aren't the most serious lot. Please refer to the thread relaying Irvine's Mission In My Pants down in the FF8: A Curious Case of Irvine post.

...there, didn't that make you giggle? At least a little?

Welcome, new people who've made their way over from the comm promo community!

Don't be afraid to post! It doesn't have to be a work of academic art!

You might say, "Well then, Lin, how exactly do I go about this? You did say this comm was in an experimental stage."

Well, I'm glad you asked! Here are some examples/ideas of what to post:

- "hey! So I had a thought about (this) and (this), let us discuss!"
- yes, you may even discuss how Irvine should take up a mission in your pants, otherwise that would make me a flaming hypocrite. Let's just say it falls under "character discussion" for now
- posts for help, such as "does anybody have a script for (blank) or know where I can find (blank)?" Hopefully in time we'll have a master post for useful reference material!
- you can also ask for help working out the details in your story, like canon or game mechanics (ex: how to write in Kain's Jump ability and make it believable, yaaay meta)
- character discussion, like your favorite character and why, character/pairing manifestos, how a particular character is portrayed in fandom (ex: in fandom, Squall having no emotions as opposed to being incredibly reserved, as seen in FF8)
- fannish essays, like character/pairing manifestos, game observations, bits and pieces of fannish anthropology. Hopefully someday we can also have a master list linking to fannish essays for easy perusal and referencing! I should also mention that cross-posting is perfectly fine.

Did all that help, at least a little bit? I sure hope so!

Once again, don't be afraid to post! We are an OPEN community and would love to see more life in these parts!

Have fun, play nice, and happy posting! :)

 Welcome to Final Fantasy Meta, a place for all your meta/game mechanics/world building/character-loving thoughts and inquiries!

We are an open community – YOU help generate the content!

We are in a highly experimental phase right now; your opinion counts every step of the way!

Right now things are looking as follows:

• It'll be an open community, with open posting and discussion -- user generated topics, basically, maybe with set themes for the week? A set day for mod facilitated discussion?
  • At the start of each week, there'll be a suggestion post with screened comments for mod-facilitated discussion. Or, you know, you could post your ideas yourselves.
• We discuss meta, work out various kinks in our fic planning, share fannish essays! Stuff like that :)
• ...my brain just fizzled out. THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN.

Invite your friends! Invite your enemies! And most importantly, HAVE FUN AND PLAY NICE!
