Academic Work

"Creepypasta as Genre and Discourse" is the title of my research article. I was an undergraduate CREATE Research fellow in the summer of 2018. I spent that summer studying the development of online short horror as a genre, culminating in a research poster and this article. It's unpublished, as I never found the right place for it, but has gone through several reviews and edits, and I'm very proud of it.

Fanfiction is not a new phenomenon by any means, but the study of the genre by writing studies scholars is fairly recent. This essay, written in the fall of my freshman year, explores some of that research and explores my own relationship with fanfiction and the online communities that produce it.
