This is a snuggly, lumpy but warm sweater for fandom and for Arthur. /hugs.

also Photoshop crashed on me so eamesie your Arthur in short shorts might have to wait because it won't open. >.>


On a non-holiday note, would it be odd if I talking about fandom on a college supplement? I really, really, really want to but don't know if it's a good idea or not. Its for Brown Uni, and I don't have great chances so I might as well, right? /0\ I have to submit them in 5 days. powers of procrastination!

Fandom and collective thinking? the power of fans and how popular topics among us sometimes appear even in canon?(in case of tv shows) Do script writers use fan´s ideas to please or target a certain age group? Are we creating a market?
Can a movie become popular or "cult" thanks to fandom and rare details that the director did not intend as a focal point of the plot?
fandom and real actor/actresses lives? is it stalking if you follow someone´s career avidly? is writing RPS offensive to this real persons? are we(fans) subconsciously rejecting the accepted norm? do we have a "real" life if we spend a lot of time writing about fictional characters? Are we disturbed people or undiscovered authors? Was JK Rowling a fangirl before she took the plunge and HP was born?

You can talk about fandom and psychology all you want but even though Brown is world famous for being an open minded university,it is STILL a university so consider your options and have the best of lucks,and a merry christmas from Spain ^^

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO. And hello Arthur. *leers*

I think there are ways to talk about fandom while making it sound intellectual and impressive. You just have to couch it in terms of media studies and audience theory, things like that.

Merry Christmas to yooou!
I hope you're enjoying the holidays :)

Arthur is so lucky to have someone like Eames make him a lumpy sweater <3 <3 <3

As for the fandom supplement... why not?
I'm pretty sure any university with a humanities dept. or media dept. has a subject on audience theory or something similar.
I took a subject on Sex and the Media where we discussed objectifying men XD
