hello my lovely lot, im here to ask for help.
im doing my MA thesis on how AI chatbots are affecting fandom from fandom interactivity, creativity, individual internalisation etc. i wanna get as many people to give me their opinions for some qualitative data.
even if you have never used chatbots but have opinions on them, i want your answers!
you lot could help me get a really good grade, or even get this published! so please if anyone would i would really appreciate it

disclaimer: you will obviously remain anonymous! I refer to everyone's submission as 'candidate *insert number*' out of respect but also that's just rules in academia.

im going to wait how i feel after seeing taash's storyline but i think the reason im finding the trans stuff mildly uncomfortable is because it's so positive. that sounds bad. but as much as i get some people feel they need positive stories right now to counteract the current climate i find it MORE alienating when a significant part of the trans experience is stripped away. we have top surgery scars but no indication of who top surgery is accessible to, how tf is an elf in minrathous getting gender affirming care? mae tells us this heartwarming story about how great her coming out was and if you respond "well my coming out didn't go great!" there's still no room for negativity, it's straight onto "well if you need to talk about it i will always be here for you :)" girl i dont know you? why can't we just sit with the fact that it would suck to be trans in thedas and do something interesting with it

Woohoo! Congrats! It's been lovely to follow it in author comments since the Masters days. 🎊🎉
Thank you!! You were in Borgias fandom, I think?? It's wild because I had every intention of studying 18th- and 19th-century lit, but used a paper on depictions of the Borgias to get into my PhD program in the first place, and was so interested by the period that I ended up focusing on 16th- and 17th-century literature instead of most of the 19th (the absolute latest I ended up going was about 1820 and most was far, far earlier). Neil Jordan & Co probably merited a place in the acknowledgments, lol.

fr the most influential literary experiences of my life are reading dorian gray as a young teen and realising older books (by my little baby standards) could affect me emotionally, AND reading the dispossessed when i was 20 and realising that sometimes when you think you hate a genre you actually just don't know enough about it

archive day is here!!
since the british library system is still down it’s paper orders/in person only and this might be a waste of time if the manuscript I need isn’t available.
love it. thank you hackers. queuing with 50 other people for entry with nothing but a wish, a dream, and two hours sleep

agree to inhuman characters being made nb! we subconsciously view masculinity as a default without realising a lot that everything whose shape we don't know or can't define is a he immediately. for a she it requires extra extra specific appearance. i love that fiction can show different parts of psychology
it's really interesting and one of my fave things ever to analyse in speculative fiction. because it does sometimes feel like it's easier to swallow for cis audiences when alien / inhuman characters are the ones that exist outside human binaries because they're already othered so it doesn't feel as threatening when they transgress gender. but on the other hand they can be a really fun way of making people think about how societies and lives without gender.

Writing my thesis has been a constant back and forth between horribly procrastinating doing any work on it at all, and finally sitting down to work and realizing I do, in fact, like my research question. I just wish that wasn't so easy to forget 😅

I need someone to periodically offer me stable, interesting and decently paid jobs and go "don't you ever do a phd" 😭😂
