I have been working on this project for a couple years now (as seen here, here, and here). I’m not sure if it will ever get to the point to be truly publishable, and I don’t really need it “published” in the traditional academic sense. So, I’m just going to continue sharing my thoughts on this project here.

This post contains the presentation I gave at the 2021 PCA/ACA conference. When I write up the full paper from this project — after doing the proper content analysis — then I will publish it as well.

And here is the actual PPT with active gifs, which we learned from Jessica Hautsch at PCA/ACA 2021 play an important role in fan interpretations and shipping.
