123 - books at work make me laugh
May. 2nd, 2007 04:32 pmI work at my college's library, processing new books that come in and distributing them based on language. I get the usual: odd-shaped artsy-fartsy books with gratuitous nudity, over-my-head atomic physics and mathematics books, and ones that make me sit there for 15 mins trying to figure out just what language it's written in.
Occasionally, tho, I come across some entertaining books. For example:
( New Literacies )
LOL! This book discusses things like getting a beta, kinds of fanfiction (AUs, slash, canon, etc.), as well as stuff like the Mary Sue Syndrome! I seriously about fell out of my chair when I read that. I mean, I took a *class* about the art / psychology / philosophy behind anime & manga, so I *know* there's literature out there about it... but FANFICTION??? "Or 'fanfic' to its aficionados" -- that's a direct quote! XDDDD Okay, back to work...
