sarahthecoatBack in 2017, I got nominated to find a way to collate the new meta being written after Sherlock S4 aired, and the meta writing community in fandom began analyzing the subtext, especially building on what we had learned about reading subtext during S3 hiatus and from TAB. (someday I want to collate those metas too, before more of them disappear!) Because I'm already familiar with google docs (yes, I know there are problems with google), my idea is this folder of pages, viewable by anyone with the link. It's just lists of links, so it does depend on the links continuing to be stable. (I don't have the wherewithal to run a wiki, or to moderate multiple editors, or deal with mischief) So I continue to urge meta writers to back up their writing in more than one place. (DW seems ideal for this kind of discussion!)
I’m a “both-and” meta reader, I enjoy the many different perspectives that various fans bring to the show. You may find writers in this folder whose views are different from yours, and I hope if that’s the case, you will exercise your good manners and use the back button rather than leaving rude comments. Also, this is not so much about "what really happened" (the surface reading), but about "what it means", what is the story ABOUT, WHY is it told this way?
I’d like to include LOTS more meta writers, one of the really exciting things for me about this hiatus, is how many new people are writing analysis! So if you have written even just a few pieces, please make a “master list” and tell me about it! I’d like to include you!
So, here is the link to the folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BPvE82-zEvnccHYYeIc0V5QOnaI5evGr?usp=sharing
I'm in the process of updating individual lists, since a lot has been written since the spring. I will make a post on my DW each day to link to the folder, and to an individual writer you might like to check out.
