Nov. 26th, 2006 09:50 pmOMFG. One of my friends in Pop Culture 2P20 just emailed me and told me that our essays are now due Thursday, not tomorrow! I would never have known, since I never check my Brock email, which is were the notice was sent. I am SO happy right now, albeit not entirely certain of how to proceed. Got an essay due Wednesday, too, and had wanted to get this one out of the way so I could start that one tomorrow evening. Will probably write at least some more of this one tonight, then start concentrating on Wednesday's paper for Pop Cinema.
But YAY, because this essay is driving me nuts. It's on fan communities and fan action/participation, in particular the increasing number of fannish charities recently (Serenity Equality Now screenings,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandom_charity... they're popping up everywhere, but I can't find any academic research on them even though I think they're quite an interesting (and fairly recent, I think, at least to this extent) phenomenon). It can only be 2000 words and, well... suffice to say, my first two essays this term have been ~5500 and 3300 words respectively. Yeah. Not so good with short essays. ^^; On the plus side, it means I don't have to write as much, so yay.
