As you may have seen on fb I'm getting awfully close to (finally) finishing my PhD (partly) on DW fandom... Just thought I'd check if there was any interest in me posting the full 80,000+ word version for your perusal (torture)?

PhD Student: Research information sheet

There once was a man named Bruce
Who liked to sit on a spruce
He ate lots of chowder
And yelled at me louder:
"I'm talking to YOU, Mrs. Hughes!"
--> The Literary Genius: Mowgli

Hey Spiky, well done you! I'd certainly be interested in flicking through it if you want to share...

On an unrelated note, I couldn't help but think of you guys when I saw this: The Great Sock War: Toe-Up vs. Cuff-Down Knit Socks - YouTube

Damn Spider pig

Sounds great, must be unique too - can't be many/any other people who've done a PHD on the same subject?

Dragon's Kingdom - Stop typing "alot" when you mean "a lot"! - Disappointed

There's been PhD's on the literary analysis of the books but I'm the only one to look at the fans. A second last draft will be fully collated by the end of the week. I will make this available to you guys. I have written the acknowledgements which includes:

"The brand community members of the Discworld and Brumbies club were awesome. Your willingness to help, your humour and actual interest made the data collection phase the best part of this research process. You made me laugh and cry, but always you always made it interesting. I would especially like to acknowledge Tempus Fugitive who was lost to war before his time. Lest we forget."

I though it was appropriate.

I for one look forward to reading it!
