Missing the FA memes
2 years ago
If you've been here for 15 years or more, you what I'm talking about.
They were sort of viral, a pain in the ass to fill out, and had nothing to do with funny pictures with words on them.
But they harkened from a simpler time when FA was almost exactly the same as it is now but not as old.
I miss them and their tasty tidbits of meat they provided my character stalking gator jaws. I miss them for their time wasting reading. I miss partially filling "a really long one" out on a tab in class then losing it when the laptop ran out of batteries and rebooted. I remember how social and connected they made me feel reading and sharing them even though my puny reach still is dwarfed by many.
I think they could be really useful for something of the same format to be used for artists writers and musicians to reflect, share and curate their works (as well as connecting with their followers) in a different way than through tagging or folders. Writers especially may have way more provenance to a story than an art piece.

I started to write one but lost it in a draft the other day.
