Drinking meta in the afternoon
Is it wise for an author to read meta? I've been reading a lot on LJ in the last hour or so. (sensiblecat, elisi, malsperanza)
Rich, juicy, wine-dark meta. But I've been mentally meta-ing "Heritage" now, seeing even more than I thought I saw.
This has a slightly forbidden feel, like drinking wine in the morning. Or drinking cider that has begun to ferment.
I think it's dangerously circular. I think perhaps I should only read the Really Good Stuff when I've finished that story.
