I'm still high from the anesthesia and the way I celebrate this is by re-drafting my paper proposal for ICFA.
Excellent blog post on Surviving the MLA Annual Conference: http://pankisseskafka.com/2015/01/10/mla-survival-tips-for-the-under-interviewing-underemployed/
Calling All Fanfic Enthusiasts …
Dear Tumblr Friends: The last few months have seen me growing increasingly uncomfortable with the refusal of traditional academic institutions to treat fan fiction as a type of literature, rather than simply as a subcultural artifact (which of course it also is). Since I am not currently employed (ha!), I have decided to put my time and energy where my mouth is and attempt to teach a digital course on reading fan fiction as literature.* I have in mind something fairly short and simple: four weeks, one reading and short (500 words?) response paper each week. My best idea so far is to focus on fic in the Doctor Who fandom, since it's what I've been looking at most often lately, but I am open to suggestions from anyone who is interested. One thing a course has absolutely got to have is students (otherwise there is no point). So I'm curious: would anyone here on Tumblr be interested in doing this????? Comment or send me a message; let me know. *Not, of course, that traditional academic strategies for reading "literature" are the only means for effectively reading a piece, and not that Tumblr users do not already have their own reading practices that are also valid.
Gonna give my presentation today. Kinda nervous because I'm pretty sure these people are the worst.
Woe.

Whew. So exhausted from Grand School Shenanigans. (And I still have to draft my proposal for ICFA, woe!) Totes tipsy right now, too.
How are my Tumblr frands?
it's a relief to know that you're not a psychopath
Haha! Yes, I also prefer sociopaths!
Problems for Today: 1) must go to conference center and act all professional. This one is mostly off-set by the fact that I really like this conference and also I get to see anghraine and get overdue hugs. 2) HAVE TO FIX THIS PAPER. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to deal with Saidian imperialism, and it's kind of mostly about parody. I'm not even sure this is wrong, but I kind of need to pick sides here. 3) won't be able to eat tonight; should probably plan to be elsewhere while the rest of the family is doing that. Possibly I could be working on the infamous paper. I have other problems but I probably won't deal with them today so MEH.
