I got it!!!
I got it! I got a scholarship for my fandom PhD proposal!!! This is so exciting and nerve-wracking, and OMG I can’t believe this is happening but yay!
So this means that next year I will be starting to work on a PhD project looking at emotions and fandom! I’d be super grateful if people would be willing to talk to me about fandom and feelings (but not yet - I need to get ethics clearance and all my ducks in a row etc etc).
Will make sure to keep you all updated as I get started!!!
