rmOr, er, academia!
The paper is done. More or less. I've just completed the second and near final draft. It clocks in at 7,791 words including over 50 footnotes which are about 50% citations and 50% asides featuring valuable information. I still need to standardize the format of said footnotes, look up a couple of episode numbers, do the bibliography and give it a final read, but otherwise I'm good. I will send it in tomorrow night or Tuesday morning.
I think I've done some significant work that advances ways of thinking about the issues the paper examines and also laid out a blueprint for future research on the subject (my own and others).
I think I've also done right by those -- some fictional, some not -- that it was important for me to do right by in writing this. I couldn't ask for a lot more.
And now, I'm going to bed.
Thanks to everyone who put up with the blow-by-blow updates on Twitter.
