#it'd be more focused on organising and information management in digital archives than on fanfic and fandom

[nellasbookplanet]

We're supposed to be writing research proposals this semester (we don’t necessarily have to use said research proposals, this is more of a trial run to learn how it works) and I am. So tempted to focus my proposal on ao3. It's an archive and information science course, I could make it work, but I don’t know if I dare. But I want to so bad.

#back when i studied literature i would probably have gone for it #those classes felt like they were pretty forgiving of bonkers not super professional ideas #(i did my paper for my bachelor's on a ya novel which in retrospect may have been a bad idea) #but these classes feel a lot more. idk. business oriented? #whis has been interesting in a horrifying kind of way #if i didn’t know it before i definitely know now that i hate the business mindset of efficiency and profit above everything #*shakes my masters in a jar until it comes out humanities focused* #anyway I've already started looking for studies and papers on ao3 bc i may go for this if i can’t think of anything else #it'd be more focused on organising and information management in digital archives than on fanfic and fandom #but it’s the first thing that's managed to make me actually feel excited about this semester #could i get away with it? #rambles #academia
