Definition of the Term

The term Meta (short for metanalysis) means the discussion of a topic (mostly canon or the fandom society and its demographic) usually in form of an essay written by one or more individuals. Usually, the meta comes in the form of a loosely academic structure, offering proof or evidence of its claims through reference to the primary text and by supporting evidence in the form of screencaps, pictures or charts.
