Thank you! That's the history student coming out in me; we regularly deal with people who, by our standards, are total morons. And yet you totally lose the ability to mine anything interesting or useful from history at all if you don't develop the skills to figure out why, from their perspective, it made complete sense. In fact, that's the game that interests me about history, and honestly about SF, too, which I talked about in the paper -- If everything were different, who would I be, what would I do now?
In re porn: I have one more paper to write and then final exams (most of them not terribly stressful, but they do require a moderate amount of prep). Then I have 2 holiday stories due -- one Not Porn, and one Most Definitely Porn, Oh Dear Lord the Porntastic Porn! Then I'm on vacation, and can get back to my slow but steady pace of writing Mainly Porn. *g*
