Thesis Snippet

Hey everyone! I know that many of you have been waiting for years for me to post about my thesis, and I figured, “No time like the present.” So, here’s a snippet from the first chapter in my thesis in which I attempt to codify the various genres of fanfiction. 

The actual snippet is under the cut for length. I’ve tagged everyone I could think of who has asked me about my thesis. I sincerely apologize if I missed anyone.

@disappointed-dadfriend @dragonflyswing @smorg-the-destroyer @ssirius-blackk @katieamnesiaandrews @kelyon @woodelf68 @wayamy27narf @anonymousnerdgirl @stealing-your-kittens @slytherin-ginny @justforza @thisisfreaky @itsnotteaitsdrugs @undergreatwhite

Also, considering that this was written by me and is (as far as I know) only privately published within the college I attended, I doubt that I need to leave any disclaimers. That said, note that all of these ideas are original and have existed in print since I wrote it between 2013 and 2015.

Keep reading

I’ve gotten some more asks, so I’m posting this again :)

For the record, the information in my thesis is now wildly outdated because I completed it in 2015. That’s the main reason I’m not sharing more of it. That, and I focused a lot of my work on Harry Potter as a fanbase because it had the largest number of fics at the time. Obviously, I wouldn’t be focusing on it now :s But I’m still happy to point people in the right direction if they’re doing similar studies!

hey netizens! i’m not sure how many people are aware, but youtube’s been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can’t be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you’re a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

WIP Wednesday

thank you @steddieas-shegoes and @wormdebut for the tag lovelies, please enjoy more sex tape fic

-

He pulls his hands from behind his back and presents the tape to Steve. It’s a VHS in a plain white case, the words Satanic Ritual Do Not Watch!! scribbled in sharpie on the front cover in Eddie’s spiky script.

Steve’s eyes bug out of his head. “Holy shit! You still have this?”

“Sure do,” Eddie nods, looking so pleased with himself. “Sure do.”

He hands it over, and Steve just holds it for a minute. Turns it over in his palms, runs his fingernail over the plastic edge because he likes the sound it makes.

“Jesus,” he snorts, tracing the title with his pointer finger. Eddie would name their sex tape something totally insane. “Satanic ritual. It’s like you were trying to provoke the pitchfork people.”

“I’m sorry, would you have preferred I wrote ‘super horny homosexual hour’ on the cover?”

“Yes.” Steve deadpans. “Yes, I would have.”

“Mmhm, and the Christians would have just lo-o-oved that, I’m sure.”

“Oh, yeah. Totally. They’re really cool with butt stuff now, it’s all over the news.”

Eddie’s cheeks puff up as he loses the fight against the laugh he was trying to hold in, lets it out with a noise like a whoopee cushion going off, and then Steve’s laughing, too, a big dumb honk that tapers into a red-faced silent wheeze.

It wasn’t even that funny, really, but Eddie’s laugh makes Steve laugh. It’s infectious; it’s the silliest, sweetest thing Steve’s ever heard, and they keep working each other up in a feedback loop of delighted idiocy until Eddie’s got tears in the corners of his eyes and his neck is all red and he’s begging, “Stop! Stop looking at me, baby, Jesus Christ, I can’t-!”

i cannot believe that since we started using the destiel meme as a breaking news alert there hasn’t been ONE destiel au fic where they’re co-anchors on the morning news.

cas confessed on accident while they’re on air and dean doesn’t know how to respond so he just reads the next thing on the teleprompter

Eddie: This bloodline ends with me.

Steve: That’s the fanciest way I’ve ever heard someone say “I’m gay”.
