To LJ or to Fic....

[icarus]

I'm doing that honors class. Honors, by the way, is the school's way of training students they think (hope) will (might) publish in the future. That's the whole point. They should call it academic boot camp. "Honors" is just how they lure you in before they lower the boom.

So I'm in that boot camp class. My professor has told me already that my idea for my paper sucks donkey dick... why did I get accepted again? Anyhow, I have to completely rewrite my idea for my paper because my question is all about definitions which is too thin, superficial, uninteresting, or at least not what the committee wants (I mentioned this is boot camp, right? Complete with the gantlet?). Shit.

I'm having to make choices about my LJ time. Do I spameth thee (thou? y'all?), or do I write Out Of Bounds in my rather limited free time?

I've elected to write fic.

I knew you would approve.

So. Since they WANT you to publish, and you cannot do so, what are your options?

Selfishly, I'm delighted that what tiny amounts of free time are your own will be used for OoB. Spamming your flist? Who needs friends anyway!? (Step aside quickly, Icarus. Lightning will soon strike near me and you may get your brows singed.)

I've no clue. But I'm going to talk to the Buddhists in the school adminstration first before I throw up any red flags.
