Witching Hour. I know, I'm just barely getting on this train

Okay, who is going, so I'll make sure to find you? evil_erato and I are staying "off campus" but we have a car.

And who wants to pimp a panel/presentation that I absolutely must see?

Meanwhile the Federalists have lulled me into a stupor. Grr. SO not finishing this book as it is just, a really horrid book and who cares about John Adams anyway. However, the whole Jefferson hates Hamilton hates Madison hates Jay hates Monroe thing is so much like an online fight that I can't even stand it. Hamilton and Madison used to be BFF and now they aren't anymore; they bitch fight in anonymous newspaper articles; they are jealous of the other's influence over Washington (read: BNF of your choice); Jefferson says he doesn't write any anonymous things but everyone knows that it's his friend doing all of it; no one really wins and everyone sort of loses. It should be a gripping tale! Instead it's 750 pages of trade regulations. Yech. I'm going back to reading secondary sources for my project. Music is so much more interesting.

Big Name Fan. I couldn't think of another word for like, "online status person who gets but kissed" though of course that phenom goes beyond fandoms to other kinds of online communities. If you know of a more neutral word for that, though, I'd rather use that, as I don't mean to say this sort of thing only happens in fandoms.

I wouldn't mind me a Bare Naked Federalist as Alexander Hamilton was pretty goddamned dreamy.

Ah. Well, as ther term authorial insertion can aproximate the idea of mary sue, i guess the term literati or even superstar might approximate the idea of bnf.
