Call for Papers on True Blood.
Sep. 1st, 2009 11:51 amSince I know some of you are fans of True Blood, and I know most of you are delighted to write meta, I just wanted to make everyone aware of two calls for papers going out. Both can be found in the UPenn CFP database and I'll paste the actual postings here. This would be an excellent opportunity for presenting, adding a nice academic entry on your resume, and fangirling liek woah!
