Hi!

[academician]

Here is me in a nutshell: I'm in my early 30s, identify as queer, am working on a dissertation on poetry and fiction, teach for a living, and love writing (and reading).

As far as 'fandoms' go, I like anything by Joss Whedon (especially Firefly). I never miss an episode of either FlashForward or Dollhouse, but I rarely watch other current TV shows. I'm mostly inclined to posting about books, cinema and issues I'm interested in (such as gayness and feminism).

I'd love to connect with people with similar interests, but I'd also be delighted to friend people who are very different from me because it's always interesting to learn new stuff. :-) I would also like to have more active communities on my reading list, so I'd be grateful for recs to interesting ones!

Hello :)

I'm also in the midst of working on a dissertation, am interested to read your experiences of it all. Also, Joss Whedon ♥

Add?

I've just started using this journal so I only have one post but I'd really like to add you if that's okay?

[academician]

Sure thing! Adding you. :-)

I too would be interested in reading about your process of working through your dissertation, as well as getting to know you. I'm on my way to graduate school for Victorian Studies shortly and would love to have some other scholars to chat with (:

Hi! I don't use this account much anymore, since it became a locked account and I wasn't happy about that. Would love to get to know you better too, so will add you now from my unlocked account. :-)
