publish or perish
Oct. 5th, 2004 12:58 pmSo this is my semester project for my GLBT Studies class, or at least my proposal and working bibliography for it. Truthfully, I'm mostly posting it here so that I don't lose it and can get to it from either of the home computers or a computer at school -- but, hey, it serves a second purpose in that I am going to have to interview some people too. And you, dear reader, are people! Or at least know people.
So the project is on queer women's participation in sf fandom. IF YOU ARE or HAVE EVER BEEN a queer-identified woman with any degree of identification with or participation in "fandom" at large or the fandom of any specific science fiction or fantasy text (XF, Harry Potter, SW, Trek, SG1, Xena, Tolkien proper or Tolkien-via-Jackson, Darkover, Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, ad infinitum), and you would like to donate about half an hour of your time, I can send you some questions to answer or, best yet, talk to you over AIM or ICQ. BTW, just to be clear -- this is not a paper about slash, although reasonably enough the writing of slash may figure into it. This is about your relationship to the text and to the fan community, so what I'm saying is, *I want readers as much as or more than I want writers,* seeing as how I'm going to be asking you to talk to me as readers/consumers of the text.
Please feel free to pass this invitation on to anyone you think might be interested in participating here. You can refer them to hth_the_first@livejournal.com or bettyplot@yahoo.com
( Now, the nerdy classwork part )
