Don't worry. The days when I expected an answer to an e-mail are long gone :-) I don't actually follow your blog but I check it from time to time see if you're still alive and well. And every time I'm amazed that nothing seems to have changed aside from a few minor details (such as your subjects of study of fandoms). I still can't believe that you're actually about to graduate. No offense, but I kind of got this image of you in my head as the "eternal student". I wish you the best of luck in finding a job and I strongly disagree with your statement that you do not have additional skills. Your enthusiasm for fandom itself IS a skill. As is creativity and your writing skills. And your ability to dive deeply into a topic. I'm sure there a magazines that need people like that for writing reviews. Or start your own magazine? There are a lot of fans out there of various franchises, fans that need to be fed.
