Rhi here. I'm an MA media studies student working on what I call the Overambitious Dissertation, which is a video documentary and a supporting defence paper on women* as science fiction fans and the community building therein, both in literary and media fandom. It's due at the end of September. Between then and now, I am also getting heteromarried and emigrating. Suffice it to say, the deadline is looming heavy.

Like many other people here, the subject of my diss is often seen as confusing, and many people find it not-overly-academic, but I did pop culture studies as an undergraduate, so I'm used to it by now.

* Anyone who identifies or ever has identified as a woman of any gender shade, and actually also including some people who are not women but wanting to talk about women...yeah.
