eilowyn1 asked: Are you familiar with Henry Jenkins? This isn't really a question, because your familiarity with fan studies suggests this would be a "well, duh" question, but I'm mostly curious as to your reaction to Jenkins' works. He was going to be my master's thesis advisor at USC, but he retired and I decided to skip out on the TV studies PhD plan and go into TV writing because I like making things difficult for myself.
I actually wasn’t until I looked him up just now! I mean, I have a feeling I’ve come across his name in citations before, but given that my awareness of academic fan studies is kind of slapdash - I’ve written enough about fandom that people have contacted me for opinions or permission to quote my stuff in their work, and I otherwise just noodle around what interests me - I’d never properly looked him up. So thanks for bringing him to my attention! Sadly, this means I can’t yet comment intelligently on his opinions, but I’m sure you’re doing great things as a TV writer, so it all works out :)
