Sometimes it's things they threw on without really thinking about it, or just didn't consider long enough.
I definitely agree with this. I mean, even in my own writing, I do things occasionally that I didn't even realize I did? Part of the problem is that we, as a society, absorb so much information that any allusions we make may be unintentional. Writing is more focused in that regard, though, as there are less cooks to spoil the soup. ;) Generally, anyway.
Cross-posting meta has been done, and I am all for it! I just wouldn't cross-post my own, as it's not all that well thought-out. It's more along the lines of "AH! A thing I thought of! Have some slapdash photos from Google and some vague words!" I've read some pretty amazing metas, though, that verge on the level of dissertation. And then I've read some Legit Essays that are crap.
Maybe I'll do a meta on the color symbolism of Ianto's ties in each episode for my next lackadaisical meta...*Considers* ;)
Good to know I'd have an audience for saluting!fic! Now to...think of a premise. Ugh. Premises. I hate them.
