academic problems

So, the life crisis seems to be on its way to resolution. Still a few conversations to have and details to sort out, but the potential is pretty amazing (even if it will make for a crazy two years).

But, today I discovered Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association. They have academic conferences! My brain is already bubbling with conference proposals especially since the SFF subject group is looking for Doctor Who or Buffy stuff in particular because of anniversaries and queer studies mentioned a focus on queers and the Star Trek franchise. (I really want [profile] rhipowered to submit something for this.) SO MANY CHOICES.

Popular Culture stuff, while a huge academic interest of mine, probably won't end up my main focus in successive graduate work, but it is something I want to stay involved in. So yes, academic bug has bitten me again.

Augh, I haven't written an academic paper in three years! I fret about the notion.

I'll have to chew on it! Loads of ideas, not sure which are most viable.
