Arg. I can't read it because I'm work, so I'll have to get back to you on that.
I like your definition of meta and I think I might adopt some of your terms to explain it in future. You analogy is clear and a damn sight more logical than many literary definitions I've seen, but it still manages to dovetail with those.
Because literary interpretation is so vague and so subjective, you could make a case for every fic being a metafic.
*nods* Which is why, like you, I'm more interested in a stricter defintion. Something so open as this, renders the notion of meta useless as a tool for analysis and discussion.
