Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Yes! I haven't read any of these, but so often what seem like novel tech issues have been considered already in fiction! 000

Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I found Daredevil season 1 and Punisher season 1 to be gripping and cohesive across each series and the following seasons to be a bit mixed and bitty, but YMMV of course! 000
Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I like 'Repetition, Reset...' and would definitely read it. (I'll read it no matter the title now that I know what it's about! - have been thinking a lot about narrative time loops and rereading recently.) 110

Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Not sure. They mentioned several UK and European institutions to me. 010
Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Request for information: I had a request from a prospective PhD student who is looking to work on fanfiction and AI writing.

Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Yes please! I get trying to mimic a close dialogue with another reader, I just don't get the idea of outsourcing affective and intellectual engagement with a text. I giess it's similar to the idea of pre-made sentiment albums in the C18th, which @gothicbodies.bsky.social likened to Tumblr pratices. 220
Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I'm giving a talk on Wed 25th March about fanfiction as an example of digital cultural heritage. Do come along if you're in Edinburgh (booking details below). 032

Dr Suzanne Black @suzannerblack.bsky.social · 02/12/2025I watched a Christmas film once that had a dog in the beginning and then only shot the characters from the waist up, presumably so they wouldn't have to have the dog on set. Lol. 010
