Thank you all! You rock! You make me look good!
So, last night, hours before the final final deadline, I turned in my edited book-chapter on HBO's Rome series and the prevalence of incest plotlines in 2005-6 television, about which many of you have heard.
This morning, I got back email from the editor, calling it "excellent, well written, and provocative," and asking if I was on the market right now, as her university (unfortunately in a non-ideal location) had an unexpected 1-year-position/tenure-track search in the fall opening up.
I couldn't figure out a way to thank you guys formally in the endnotes, because it would have been too long a list, and "my friends on LJ" is just a wee bit unprofessional. But thanks so much to all of you for all your suggestions, helpful advice, and useful points. I've been working on this piece for six months, and I was totally uncertain as to whether or not it was totally shallow and worthless, and it seems like it's not.
I'm happy to email the article out to anyone who wants it, and keep an eye out for _Rome: Television Makes History_ at your local academic bookstore in September 2007.
I may not have gotten a job yet, but it's been a good week for my ego.
