“Faking and Re-Making: The Use of Emotional Responses and Creative Resonances in Communal Multimedia Storytelling” was written and presented with co-authors Dr. Naomi Jacobs, Shivhan Szabo, and myself at Fan Studies North America 2023 (more info here!). The video version was then published through Transformative Works and Culture 42 (2024).

“How Not to Be Evil (By Accident), Or: Baking Consent in from the Beginning” was a slidedeck created for the graduate-student panel discussion “Consent and the Magic Circle” (2024) at WPI, discussing ways creators can attempt to fold audience consent into their games.

“What is a short story? (it depends)”: The slidedeck for the first lecture in my “Writing Short Fiction” course that helps frame how students can think about short stories ahead of starting to write them. (Note! This lecture assumes live instruction in parallel, and maybe, someday! I’ll add a recording to go with it.)

“Characters (and the messes they make)”: The slidedeck for the third lecture in my “Writing Novels” course, in which I offer a way of considering casts of characters in novels and the role they play in plots. (Note: This lecture assumes live instruction in parallel, and maybe, someday! I’ll add a recording to go with it.)

“Self-Publishing: Where you’re your own boss (and solely responsible for what happens)”: The slidedeck for the third lecture in my “Practical Publishing” course, in which I discuss the business end of self-publishing as compared to traditional publishing. (Note: This lecture assumes live instruction in parallel, and maybe, someday! I’ll add a recording to go with it.)

“Weird Research 101 (for papers, shenanigans, etc.)”: A slidedeck originally created in 2022 for students to demonstrate how to do internet research on weird topics… before it morphs into a very concrete example of why checking primary sources is so very important.
