Ah. Film school essays. Gotcha. (Kidding, a little.) It's kinda odd to me for such stuff to be organized enough to circulate. AMVers used to conduct something sorta similar, expounding and explaining on their favs, trends, ideas, etc. on the Journal system on the .org. (There's a device that showed you when your "friends" last updated their journal so you could check on 'em. Weird, stilted, but fairly elaborate discussions happend simultaneously in multi-part across journals in the absence of a "comment" function.) Prior to that, there was some "meta" discussion throughout the amv mailing list when there was a controllable number of people. Upon the appearance of livejournal, though, the more interesting stuff collapsed as the more determined writers jumped ship for the better functionality. I tried to maintain my stuff across both for a few years, but it got tiring.
Now? Hmm. I suppose there might be some meta stuff on the boards. Wouldn't know. You couldn't pay me to go back in there and look. I'll do my fandom/flick/comic reviews out here, thank you very much.
