Lots and lots of recs, part I
I've spent the last umphteen days prosessing the data from the fanfic questionaire. Amongst other things I asked the questionaire participants to recommed a good fic, and it really paid of. I got loads of recommendations, and now I'll share each and every one of them with you. The complete (or nearly complete, since I couldn't find all the fics ( Read more... ) -
Holy crap! Recs!
I rearranged my thesis related bookmarks and counted than I've got over 200 hundred of then, about half of which are individual fics or sites full of fics. Wow. Condidering that less than a year ago I had hardly any, less than 20. And I've got about more 100 fic recs waiting to be bookmarked. I bet when this project is over, I've got me some ( Read more... ) -
HP fandom clichés?
There is something I forgot to put into the questionnaire.
Fandom clichés. I find that too a very interesting topic.
So, please, if you happen to read this and are part of the HP fandom (a writer or reader of HP fanfiction) please comment and list some of the HP fandom clichés, I would really aprecciate it.
I can't really name any right now, tough I ( Read more... ) -
About the thesis
I don't really yet have a very clear picture of all the topics I'll be discussing in the thesis. I've only just started working with the idea a couple of months ago and I've got still some other studying to do, courses to take and of course money to earn. So this is not going to be a very fast writing process.
There is also the slight problem, that ( Read more... ) -
Translations and stuff
Well, we're up to almost a hunred anwers now, wich is very good. Tough, with this rate by next monday I'll be having more answers than I could possibly handle within any reasonable period of time :)
But I'm not complaning, no.
It seems that I'll indeed need to have the work, or parts of it, translated into english when it's finished (and if it's ( Read more... ) -

For a while there I wasn't very exited about this whole thesis thing (after the last major writing period) but now I can hardly contain my self. (No, really!)
More answers are flooding in (I keep on refreshing the survey result page like every tvo minutes). And gosh, the answers are good! They are even more helpfull and ( Read more... ) -
Questionaire
I've made some progress in the thesis project. I've written some 20 pages and made a questionare for fanfiction writers/readers and posted it into some forums and groups. Yay me.

Nervous
Today the seminar (for masters thesis) actually begins and I'm supposed to really know what I'm doing and to be able to explain it so that the others know too. Crap. I don't feel like I'm ready for this yet. I haven't even studied so very much yet (or so it feels). What do I know about anything? Surely all the others are so much wiser and more pro ( Read more... ) -
Potter americanized
I've ordered the whole Potter series from Amazon. Yay.
Only after ordering I found out (from reading a book called "Ivory Tower and Harry Potter") that the Scholastic edition has been heavily edited, americanized even, especially the first three books. Crap. And ofcource the ones I ordered are Scholastics them being cheaper than Bloomsburys and all ( Read more... ) -
All right...
So maybe I do have a journal. In the sense that maybe I'm going to actually write something. I do like writing afterall ( Read more... )
