it's just that the themes hidden in the stories (those universal ones that are in there whether conscioulsy or unconsciously on thw writer's part) are then the same that way more consciously the same writer discusses and argues when writing meta. :)
? if you havd to write meta about John, what would you write?
*tickles you* Meta is..well, for one, a fannish word. Analysis of the motivations, characteristics, setting, inner demons of your character, or angels ;) The character's reactions to his surroundings, and why those reactions and not others...all of that is meta. So...Meta about Jon? ;)
I want direct questions! I can't just... sit down and write "meta" about Jon.
Like... okay, I might write in a thread and the pup does something unexpected (like topping Dean ;) then I'd sit back and think just why the heck he just did that...
it's the same thing, only, yes, you sit down, look at your pup, and start analysing him in one single (long or short) essay. You have to freeze your character(characters/show/situation) ina given moment, and see his/her instincts, those acting and those that are suppressed, and analyse his actions. *wants Jon meta*
