That word might not mean what we think it means.

[logovo]

Reading some stuff today I saw several people talking about aca-fans (acafans? AcaFans?) and I'm starting to wonder if they mean the same thing I'm thinking when I hear acafans, as in actual people in academia, writing, publishing, teaching or fanlore's entry. Are people now using that word interchangeably with fans who are just into meta? Anyone else getting that impression?

Also, I still haven't watched SPN and I'm trying not to read spoilers but I'M FAILING SO BAD. Because I'm weak and impatient.

Ahahahaha.

I kow Carl.

He'd probably freak out (like every other male academic doing work on sff that i know) if anybody associated him with fandom in any way.

Not to mention, everybody knows it's the critical race and queer theory aca-fen who are destroying the US AKA western civilization--the European Marxists hardly have a shot at it!
