Topic Reflection

I have enjoyed researching my topic thus far. I do not get the chance to write creatively much at all in school, and I don't really have the time to, so that makes this project fun to me. I think once I am out of school I might take part in more fan fiction related writing. I watch a lot of television and I get invested in a lot of characters, and there are times that I wish I could continue their stories in a way I see fit. I sometimes have that urge to be in control. I think we all get that feeling from time to time.

One downside to my project that I am seeing is that I am going to try to focus on an efed, which is based on professional wrestling and uses elements of fan fiction and role-playing. The downside is I cannot really show many videos or images that are in a "commons" area because (at least in my case) the fed I was in used many copyrighted images to create it's images. I also know that World Wrestling Entertainment tries to make sure their footage is not used in youtube videos. So whereas I feel I can describe the experience and research it more, I don't necessarily have a lot to show in a presentation that actually comes from the "arena" of an efed.

Aside from that, I remain optimistic about this project and look forward to where ever it decides to take me.
