WHEN || November & December [backdated]
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of November and December.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

It can be a bit complicated, but once you've got all your thoughts on the page, I can work with you to polish it up and find the right academic journals to submit to.

[wishuponadjinn]

You honestly think that people would be interested in reading about this stuff? [He actually looks like he is starting to get excited about the idea of his work getting out there.]

[daredtobelieve]

Oh, yes. There's an audience for nearly any academic study. And your work will grab the attention of a lot of people. Trust me. [She knows a few of them personally and will hand deliver it to them if she must.] You're much more talented than you realize.

[wishuponadjinn]

[He gives her a grateful look, smile growing more confident at her words. After a moment it falls just a bit, hand coming up to scratch the back of his head.] Would I have to uh... have a degree to be published in an academic journal? Isn't that a requirement?

[daredtobelieve]

Usually, but I think your work speaks for itself.

[wishuponadjinn]

[Her last reassurance seems to sink in, finally having a good effect on his conscience. His smile is relieved, a tinge of hope shining through his self-doubt.]

Thanks Helen. I... you have no idea how much I appreciate that. [He sounds almost like he's never received any kind of encouragement or praise before, the look in his eyes a bit like that of a young boy.]

[daredtobelieve]

[She can see it, can see that he's never really believed in himself- at least not when it comes to this. But she means every word of what she's said.]

Of course. [There's warmth in her tone as she smiles and nods.] Until then, keep up the good work.

[wishuponadjinn]

[He nods, smile still in place as he drags the notebook back towards himself, flipping to the page he had left off on.]

I will.
