Am back on campus, and am looking over my course schedule and wondering what the everliving hell I was thinking. Especially since the university's new system makes it a lot harder to do the last-minute class-shuffle I'm so accustomed to.
...maybe I'm less screwed than I think I am? We'll see.
oh god I am still not ready to be a senior heeeeelp

haha for me it's like: DOES A SINGLE MOM GET A FAIR PORTRAYAL? I have never seen Dexter but it's very relevant to my interests that single mothers aren't demonized and their kids not a social problem cos they don't have a dad.

(Dexter is about a very charming serial killer, so it might well be relevant to your interests.)

LOL actually, in truth, being a serial killer in itself doesn't interest me. It interests me when they're obsessed with someone pretty I love. Though I suppose certain character traits a serial killer may have would interest me. I R A VERY COMPLEX PERSON.

Dex is...hmm. He doesn't really have that kind of single-minded focus on one person, most of the time, but obsessive, he certainly is that. Really, I think a good chunk of my Dexter-love springs from the absolutely friggin' brilliant things Michael C. Hall does, because holy shit that is such a good portrait of a sociopath and his voiceovers make me crack up on a regular basis.

I tend to only find it well done in non-fiction, sometimes fanfiction.

I've seen it well done in published fiction before. Not often, which is why I am failing at coming up with examples, but it happens.

Actually, I can think of some YA fiction I've read (not of the titles, it's been too long since I've been into YA) that have done it well and maybe some various TV shows, with some reservations. And, never, sexually abused women. It's gotten to the point where I want no one else to ever write about it again while I crave to see it done well. //lit angst
