I’ve been doing a lot of enthusiastic tweeting about things I love lately. This in itself is not unusual, after all if nothing else what is Twitter for than foisting your unsolicited opinions on people? It’s also not entirely my fault, I had a book announced, and a Crowd Funder to promote, so my Schitt’s CreekContinueContinue reading “Let Me Enjoy Taylor Swift in Peace (or stop stealing people\'s joy)”

I can pinpoint the exact moment I fell in love with this show. How often can you say that about something? And the exact moment I just knew it was going to change my life. The moment I cried more at any comedy show than I’d cried before (to that point). The moment I knewContinueContinue reading “‘Just Pretentious Enough.’ Why Schitt’s Creek mattered to me.”

Last week I wrote about what Schitt’s Creek meant to me, and why I needed to write about it. (You can read that here ) My ‘Inklings’ book with 404 Ink aligns perfectly with my academic and fangirl brain because that’s where this whole thing started.

I wrote a little pink book on a little Canadian show that means a lot to me. You can order a copy hereIt\’s Millenial PINK my friends This book came about because I quoted Dan Levy to make an argument about Angels in America in another book. If you know me, weirdly that probably makes perfectContinueContinue reading “Love that Journey for me- why I\'m writing about Schitt\'s Creek at last.”

Today 404 Ink launched their Crowd Funder which includes my book Love that Journey for me: The Queer Revolution of Schitt’s Creek. This book came about because I quoted Dan Levy to make an argument about Angels in America in another book. If you know me, weirdly that probably makes perfect sense. If you don’t…we’llContinueContinue reading “Love that Journey for me- why I’m writing about Schitt’s Creek at last.”

I wrote a version of this blog post back at the end of last summer. I’d just jumped back into Fan Fiction for the first time in nearly 10 years. And it had meant a lot in not just the difficulties of 2020, but in the mess of my own head. I’ve taught fanfiction inContinueContinue reading “For the Love of Fic”
