Still have a lot to do on my Creative Writing bibliography, considering I only did four last hour. But then again, I keep getting distracted by finding old links and reading old stories over again. Only six left though, so that's good.
Oooh let's do a breakdown of my stories! Statistics! Fun!
Okay, I was going to do male vs. female authors, but I've already ran into a couple which I'm not sure because of the weird names, so we'll forget that. It's overwhelmingly male, I'm sure.
Subjects:
Social networking, spelling bee, Facebook, politics, programming, programming, law/education, design, religion, design, anecdote/education, law/education, design, law/education, education, movies, technology, computer science/education, offbeat, movies, anecdotes, grammar, education, law/education, programming, a real book, disease, photography, time travel/writing, reading, music/technology, feminism/politics, law/creative writing, movies, computer science/education, programming, anecdote, design, music, music, satire, hacking/programming, hacking, design, internet, television, hacking/programming, Facebook, anecdote, parenting, invention, Wikipedia/education, comedy, news/mystery, anecdote, anecdote, hacking, offbeat.
Nice. I'd go count them up and see what won, but I'd say computers in general, education, and anecdotes.
I didn't, obviously, put everything I read in there. I haven't read any graphic Monkees fan fiction recently, but had I, I wouldn't have listed "Kinky Micky" by nezhead2402. I did list a few things that the teacher may not find appropriate, including many articles that use the word "fuck", including a page from Maddox's site, whose annotation sounds rather serious. Then of course there's "What I Learned in Jail Last Night", "What It Feels Like: Swallowing Swords, Having Leprosy & Being in an Orgy", and "'Douchebag' blog post costs senior her student council seat". Then of course there's the one about religion which could be controversial and the one about "University cheats 'not expelled'" which kind of goes against what teachers have been threatening us with, the university taking our money and then kicking us out when we plagiarize three words.
Anyway, the best part I found was an article from "Esquire" ("What It Feels Like…") coming right before an article from "Grammar Girl". I have varied tastes, I do admit.
Anyway, I suppose I should get back to work. Considering posting my entire reading list, but want to wait until I'm officially done high school so I can't get busted for plagiarism and have to endure the whole long university spech.
