j_cheney: (So many books...)

So, the English Degree is telling me to write last night, but the Marketing Degree is whispering that it's been a loooong time since I ego surfed. Since I have a couple of bits up now, I decided to go along with the marketing urge and look....

That's when I stumbled across: this.
There's a reference to my work about 2/3 of the way down.

This went up in late March of this year. The author is apparently a PhD from the University of St. Andrews, Laura Vivianco. I had to read it several times before I understood it, and there are a lot of references I'm not going to chase down. (Because ED says I should be writing, not ego surfing).

It's NOT a review. The author neither claims to like or dislike the story. It's an academic article...which makes this rather like seeing one's name in a biology book.

Going to breakfast now! Have a nice day, you guys.

You've been cited!

I suppose that makes it a citing. n.n

Yes, in a lot of ways, he seems to be using his cited references to prove a point regarding a low and high mimetic rating as based between religion and magic--? I'm not sure, but that was how I read it.

Gee, however it was, he seems to be creating a class lecture and/or argument. That is enormously flattering, really. The things that happen, huh? :)

I adore the word 'mimetic' by the way. I'd never heard it before, but it's just lovely.

Actually, I could not determine if the writer is a prof at the University of St. Andrews, or just got their doctrate there. I think the point was, in a very roundabout way, that some romances more closely resemble fairy-tales (into which group she includes the bible when viewed as mythology) and mine was just the example of one end of the spectrum.

It's just bizarre where your name turns up (try googling you name...)

Happy birthday, by the way. ;o) Here's some cyber-cake.

cite!!!
