I hope you're going to require submitters to identify the meta appropriately so those of us who aren't interested and don't want to read it can filter it out.
Otherwise, the inclusion of meta will make the archive even more difficult to use and the search results even less useful.
Being able to categorize your work in a way that users can find (or exclude it) from their searches is definitely going to be one component of hosting non-fiction (as well as other media formats) on the AO3. We are still in the early stages of discussing how we can best make that work in a way that serves both posters and searchers. But it will likely involve both actions by users and technical options. Unfortunately, a technical solution is likely to take much longer than the policy parts and tagging options.
