I NEVER Thought *This* Would Happen!

[rusty_armour]

I NEVER thought this would happen, but three of my stories (A Private View, Buckingham & Shaftesbury: The Schemes and the Theatrics and The Boathouse (particularly The Boathouse)) were mentioned in an academic paper called Heritage Film Audiences 2.0: Period Film Audiences and Online Film Cultures. For anyone who's curious, the relevant material can be found in pages 36-37 of the pdf document. Some other very worthy works are also analyzed, including fengirl88's The Bad Old Songs (on pages 37-38 of the pdf document).

I have to confess that I howled when I read what Dr. Monk wrote about The Boathouse -- mostly due to sheer shock and joy and not because I disagreed with what she wrote. *g*

Well, it's about time someone recognized your talent. Congratulations.

OMG! Squee! You got recognized by academia. How cool is that?

Seriously, you have an amazing talent and it is wonderful that you've been called out for it. "The Boathouse" was a vivid enough piece of storytelling that it was compelling without my having any idea of the original material.

Edited to add: Stop blushing. You know it's true. Just run with it.

Thank you very much, njc2007! :-D I think it's probably less about recognizing my talent (what little I possess) and more about the subject matter I chose to write about. However, I'm still thrilled that I was mentioned.

I KNOW! It's so surreal and bizarre! I'm still having trouble believing it!

You're being much too kind, but thanks again! :-D I'm happy to hear that you were still able to enjoy "The Boathouse" without being familiar with the original source material. That's always wonderful to hear. :-D

LOL! I think you know me a little too well! *g* Okay, I'll accept your very generous compliment and run with it. :-D

I think, in this way at least, we are a little alike. (aka It takes one to know one.)
