The Meme-Mandated, Semi-Regularly-Updated, Occasionally Coherent Thoughts of G.M. Skarka
I’m shamlessly stealing taking a page from Scalzi’s blog, and opening things up for “reader request week”, in which you suggest topics, and I answer them.
Interested participants should post in the comments of this post. Any topic or question whatsoever. I’ll pick the ones that I like best as subjects for posts made between now and next Tuesday (I leave for GTS on Wednesday).
Suggest away!
OK — now that I’ve dug through the pile on my desk enough…. Let’s start getting the details of this thing set up.
First off: The group has been whittled down to:
Everyone else was trimmed for various reasons — lack of follow-up, statements of time concerns, etc. So, right now, it’s just the four of us. I know that Dave mentioned that he knows of a couple of others who might be interested, especially if we keep it private (which I have no problems with — I’m more interested in the regular deadline and critique that a group offers). So I figured I’d through this out there — does anyone have any other suggestions for membership?
The next thing we need to do is set up the overall schedule and format — when stuff is turned in, by whom, where we discuss, etc. I like the idea of the private LJ group, since the comments format is a nice threading tool. Any other suggestions are welcome here.
Over to you….
Of particular interest to
The Metropolitan Museum of Art ran an exhibition last summer on the symbolic and metaphorical associations between fashion and the superhero.
There’s now a book available.
…But perhaps even cooler than that is the fact that they’ve made all of the speakers, presentations and panels from the exhibition (35 in all), available for viewing on a special YouTube playlist.
