Hello gorgeous...

Hey LJ, it's been a while. Somewhere between dissertating, conference going, wedding planning, editing for TWC, and teaching my first courses at UCSC, I haven't had time to breathe let alone keep up here. Which is sad, and somewhat ironic considering that my dissertation on the state of contemporary fan culture has forced me to divorce myself

Which one of you was Luke???

I've been thinking about you lots since missing you in LA. You got married! Are you still in Santa Cruz?

I'll see you at Flow, yeah?! I submitted to Fans & Producers, but got put on Twittertube. I'm tentatively thinking I'll write a rather Scott-ian position paper about how fictional character twitters expand the text while real creator twitters close it down.

I was Luke, the hubby is a Biggs Darklighter doppleganger! We haven't uploaded our pics yet, but here's one slashtacular preview pulled off flickr

HAWT! this is the AWESOME part of fanboyism.

Comic-con aside, I'm also feeling super crotchety about convergence. I'm trying to get Denise Mann to publish my radical Marxist critique of The L Word without toning down the "exploitation" rhetoric. Tough sell.

Thanks for reading my Flow piece! I can't wait to see yours. It sounds amazing! Let me know what you're up to in Santa Cruz -- we'd happily drive out to the beach some weekend if I'm not too slammed. But Flow is probably coming up even sooner, yay!

Well, hello!
