[fx: pokes relevant bits of flist]

sarahf  aka Dr. Sarah S. G. Frantz at uncfsu.edu has posted a call for papers on "The Mind of Love: New Approaches to Popular Romance", and I can think of at least two of you academic types who might have something interesting to say on the subject [*cough* fanfic, Austen]. More details here:

(There is more in there in earlier posts that makes me think I should be blog-checking tomorrow...)

You are not looking kitty-ward, I hope. You *must* know more than one academic with an Austen kink.

I sent a query as to whether they're interested in an essay about the stuff I have been reading and thinking about. It seems like it might be too far from the core concerns of the collection, and I'm not very academic, but it wopuld be an opportunity to get the things I've been thinking about taken seriously, sort of. So I asked.

Thanks for the shout-out! I appreciate it.

Oh, and I found those extra videos you were talking about! Certainly worth looking at!
