Bad Romance: Dracula, Twilight, and Rape Culture by 100indecisions
Twilight Series - Stephenie Meyer, Dracula - Bram Stoker, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Demons (TV)

Summary
My no-kidding master's thesis, the tl;dr version of which can be summarized as "Twilight sucks, but not because teenage girls love it or because it contains sparkling vampires". Actual abstract: "Despite being generally received as wholesome entertainment, Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series implicitly supports rape culture by subtly reinforcing dangerous ideas about romance and relationships. In order to demonstrate the pervasive nature of these attitudes at work in the Twilight series, this paper first describes the concept itself and the crucial features of the beliefs that support it. Dracula—and, more importantly, the prevailing cultural perceptions about Stoker’s novel—functions as an important intertext for Twilight thanks to its status as one of the earliest popular vampire novels, and I use it to show how these attitudes can normalize certain assumptions about sexuality in a context generally assumed to involve a clear sexual interpretation. My examination of the books in Meyer’s modern vampire narrative takes this idea further, arguing that the same attitudes applied to Dracula provide an even more subtle representation of the mindsets that comprise and perpetuate rape culture."

Maiden No More: Rape Culture in Tess of the D'urbervilles by 100indecisions
Tess of the d'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy

Summary
Issues of coercion and sexual consent are at the forefront of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented, and the novel itself does not seem to present a solid conclusion on what exactly happened between Tess and Alec on the night that started her supposedly inevitable decline. Approaching the text from the viewpoint of modern feminist criticism and ideas about rape culture allows insights into Tess’s story that might not have been available to Hardy or his readers. I wrote this paper for a graduate class a few years ago.

Summary
Skie Silvershield may be one of the richest girls in Baldur's Gate, but that doesn't mean she gets everything she wants--because what she really wants is adventure. One way or another.

Summary
This needs a better title, but it's pretty much just a place for everything in my semi-epic personal canon/crossover 'verse where Ten (and sometimes a companion) and Remus and Tonks, and then just Remus, and then Teddy Lupin, have adventures and save the world and things. Mostly it's my AU personal canon for how Remus and Tonks totally don't die in Deathly Hallows, although that's the part I haven't actually written yet. So...there are plenty of gaps.

Summary
It was September, and it was wet, and it was one o’clock in the morning, and Dana Scully, who had just lost a very nice glove in an open grave, was currently engaged in half-carrying her significantly taller partner down a hill. A misadventure, in which features inadvisable grave-digging, injury, insult, and bedtime reading of a dubious nature.

Summary
This takes place just before the events of Episode 88.
In which Darcy finally reaches out to Lydia--and we discover exactly who Lydia is thanking when she looks at the camera in 88.
“Start with tomorrow,” he urges her. “If you could change one thing about tomorrow, what would it be?”
“What are you,” Lydia sneers, “a one-man Make-a-Wish foundation? Do you go around making dreams come true for girls who are about to have the entire Internet leering at their naked bodies? Well, try this on for size, Darce-face. I want the sex tape to not be released. I want that site down. I want every computer that has a copy of that video to be smashed into bits.” She’s gaining steam as she talks. “I want every copy of it ever to burst into flame. And I want George Wickham—” Her face crumples, but her hands curl into fists. “I want George Wickham to tell me why he did it. After everything he did to me, I deserve that much.”
