Eek, I'm excited to see you here from Tumblr and SWG! :D I don't really have an etiquette. I remember the days when people made all kinds of crazy meticulous demands on their LiveJournals ("if you do not leave a comment on THIS POST stating your name, shoe size, and reason for being here, then you CANNOT FRIEND THIS JOURNAL!!1!!" ... which one would prevent exactly how, I always wondered?) but I'm glad you found and followed me here.
Thank you for watching my presentation and for your kind comments. :) It was a challenge to squeeze into 20 minutes. There was so much I wanted to say (I didn't get to say it all) and didn't want to just write a defense of fanfic but also didn't want to get too technical for people who knew nothing about fanfic/fandom. It was surprisingly more challenging than when I sent in my proposal wanting an "easy Mythmoot" this year!
I am also working on my MA; my thesis, which I will be writing this summer (I hope), will be on Beowulf. I love Beowulf studies but color me just a teensy bit jealous on getting to write on Tolkien studies! :D Any idea on your topic yet?
Professor Olsen is just as warm and funny in person as he is on his videos and podcasts. He is truly an excellent ambassador between the fan and scholarly communities.
