So, like...

I did the thing. The thing being completed my thesis. That's one hell of achievement.

But oh my god my professor. Y'all... Check this shit.

I'm going to guess that this guy does not normally critique sci-fi/fantasy?

And the subjective "suggestion" about making it MIB-like? What??

I will say, without having read more than about a paragraph or two (I AM SO SORRY), I am usually in favor of "cutting to the chase." Generally one chapter of status quo is all that's needed, but if you have her at the Center and training by Chapter 2-3? You've done it. I mean, look at Ender's Game, that's the basic structure of a "school" story.

He really should have given you more notes about setting and description so you could have included more of it in your early chapters. That's just crappy that he didn't say anything about it to give you the opportunity to revise.

So, you don't have to go through a defense? It's just a class where you turn in the thesis and one guy grades you on it?

that's the only thing I can determine insofar as his response to mine and another student's fantasy fiction. Every comment I've seen toward her was also less than helpful
