Question for my Fic-Readers
Oct. 4th, 2011 10:05 pmNext week I'm teaching the innocents in my Fan Studies class about slash fiction, and I want to give them an example of a fic, so I'd like to pick one of my short G/PG rated pieces. Any thoughts? I was initially thinking "Totally Not a Stockholm Syndrome Thing" because of the BTVS fusion aspect (thus knocking out: AU, crossover, and slash ALL AT ONCE) but now I'm rethinking in terms of something more user-friendly. "Expected Learning Outcomes" is maybe my favoritest short fic but it's maybe more pre-slash?
We're also doing the monthly screening of a TOS ep (probably "Amok Time" but possibly "The Trouble with Tribbles") followed by the reboot, because when I'm corrupting, I'm doing it wholeheartedly.
Yes I'm overthinking this a lot.

Unrelated, there was this conversation today:
Me: So I had to write about the worst thing I could think of for my writing class, and then I did and cried myself to sleep and had nightmares.
Todd: What did you write about??
Me: Someone killing a puppy.
Todd: ... I think that says everything about you if the worst thing you can think of is someone killing a puppy.
I think he's right.

I also did a practice run of my big tenure presentation today. Strangely, I feel MORE nervous now.
