I'm pretty sure that's her, only she said she wasn't plagiarizing, I think she either claimed she forgot where she heard the quotes or it was a "game"
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I just found someone's research paper on fan campaigns, heavily quoting Buffistas.org posts from Joss, Tim, Me, and misquoting Kristen as Kiba, over and over.
The student is now at Syracuse, writing a dissertation on Joss Whedon's fandoms.
The paper is from 2007, but I really can't stop this horrible itch I have to correct her citation.
Should I ignore it, or email her?

I think you should email her.

Link to it because we're very curious? And definitely email her--how freaking hard is it to properly identify a poster when you can copy and paste!!

It looks like undergrad work. Boy, was I a BIG JERK. Well, I still am, little bit.
But there's a whole quote of me yelling at fans to not send apples to Fox so we won't "look like asswipes."
This is my contribution to academia, ladies and gents!

In fact, whenever Kristen wants me to walk away from a fandom kerfuffle before I go fanwank, she reminds me of the apples.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister's student continues to insist that my sister is gay and that they should hook up. My sister reminds her that a) she's straight and b) she's her teacher, but the student says none of that matters. At this point, isn't c) obvious? That my sister doesn't want to sleep with her? Why does this take emails and an hour of conversation? Seriously?
That's so incredibly rude. And on top of this, the student thought my sister was mean before she even started coming on to her.

Iunno. "Hi, this paper you wrote five years ago has an incorrect citation" kind of sounds like a dick move. OTOH, she's writing her dissertation on Joss Whedon fandom.
It's kind of an odd thing. The old Bronze posting board no longer exists. There are pieces of it on the WayBack, but really, there were such gems there, like the time a fan kept bitching and bitching about how shitty the show was, week after week. And finally, Joss showed up and said, "Just stop watching. I promise, the pain will go away."
And that was hilarious.
She also mentions that when Joss (or Tim, presumably) post, no one questions whether or not it's really them.
I kind of want to tell her why that is so. Maybe it will be helpful.
Maybe she doesn't want any help.

ita, your sister is so being harassed. I kind of want to kick the student REALLY HARD SO BAD.
