Hi all! I am still dissertating! It is...going, if not going as quickly as I'd like.

You're welcome to send me anything you'd like and we can try & keep each other motivated through the rest of our dissertating. :)

I approve of this plan.

Also, I think I need to look at your Aeneid article again, since I haven't reread it since I started this chapter, and I could end up using some of it and citing you, I think. :D

[thanatos_kalos]

Yay! :) Thanks!

Oh, I have much the same feelings about Vergil and Homer! I have had lots to say about both, but I enjoy Homer so much more. Vergil has such a specific agenda, whereas Homer is more about the story.

Best wishes for all of your work! It sounds fascinating. I'd offer to help read, but realistically I have no time at the moment, so I'm sorry for that. <3

Thanks! That's part of my point! Well, the point of the whole diss is that rewrites have agendas...not to judge them, but to draw a line through each one and to fic.

I had a ton of people volunteer to read things on the DW side, so no worries! Thank you for the cheerleading! :D

I have nothing to contribute except encouragement. :) Your diss sounds really interesting and challenging, and I admire the work you are doing!

*encouragement* Good luck with getting this chapter done! I'm happy to read things over if you need anyone else to :)
