i would think you would put any citations in the notes
it would be a lot of notes, it’s like. 2 pages of citations. I think AO3 has a footnote function? Maybe I’ll need to use that. I just...I’ve never had to cite anything in fic before?

okay yeah that’s fair there is nowhere near enough of them on ao3. (remember that time they literally kissed in real life. good times.) i want all of the jeremy/matt in the world
i need jeremy/matt slow burn. meeting online on the rt site. texting each other so much that their families just assume they're dating. meeting in person and hugging so long because they don't want to let go. platonic hand holding. meeting up and sharing a room at rtx. getting hired together. nervously asking geoff if it's a problem that they're dating. geoff staring them down and just pointing at the joneses. DOUBLE DATES WITH THE JONESES. jeremy angsting over still being in love with kat. kat still engaged to jeremy but also letting jeremy date matt. TIMESHARE BOYFRIEND. matt and kat being best friends even though they're not into each other. matt and kat having wednesday night friendship dates without jeremy. jeremy being heart eyes over both of them. POLYAMORY. *loud screaming into the void*

SACRIFICETHEMTOTHESQUID said: Those are all excellent answers, and you have sufficiently satisfied my Old-Person worrying. I am the teeniest bit envious. It all sounds like a tremendous amount of fun, and you have way more contingencies planned out than I ever did. :-D
I’m not sure I’d classify it as fun, but it will certainly be very interesting. i’m not even sure if that’s the route I’m going to go, it’s just the most likely at the moment. And also the most likely to make me go insane by graduation, but, hey, you do what you gotta do.
SACRIFICETHEMTOTHESQUID said: I’ve also had a couple of friends go through MFA programs for fiction, and their reactions have been mixed. You definitely don’t need a degree to be a successful writer, but if you really want one, I say go for it.
SACRIFICETHEMTOTHESQUID said: I’m sure your parentals have already brought this up, but as an Old Person, I am compelled to ask about job prospects. (I graduated right at the height of the recession, so I’m especially nail-bitey about these things.)
It’s pretty accepted in my family that I’m going directly into working internationally after school. There’s always a shortage of ELL teachers in non-English speaking countries and I happen to not only be fluent but pretty decent at teaching and good at Spanish so I could function in a Spanish speaking country. So there’s that. Plus there’s always work around here in government, be it with contractors or the government proper. There’s a woman I’ve been working with for awhile who has an organization (PACE Universal, if that matters at all) that has a girl-driven school in Calcutta, and I’ve been invited to work there post-graduation, being a Rotex and a Young Woman who speaks English and will have a degree in Global Development.
The MFA is kind of my parent’s bribe? I get an MFA in ficton and then I can shut up about it for the rest of my life and go work in Global Affairs. The difference would be that by having an MA (not mattering in which field) I’d get paid more than by having two BAs, which was the initial plan.
I don’t particularly want the MFA to write, I want the MFA to have an understanding of fiction and in order to be a good editor. I do pretty well as a beta for fic and I’d like to work on original projects in the long term with a lot more genres.
my schedule kicking my ass, mostly? and some family stuff. but. it FEELS like everything is a giant mess.

HOW IS YOUR HANDWRITING SO PRETTY LN
I’d argue that it’s not! It’s this weird mashup of print and cursive and my fs look like Ss, and if I’m not on lined paper it gets tinier and tinier and slants upwards. :(
