i want to…
…finish you like a dissertation.
Ok, so the last chapter is done, only the intro, conclusion, and appendix needs to be finished.
I didn’t get as much as I would’ve liked about my online activities in there, but it should be sufficient. It is not a work of online ethnography anyway.
Currently at 86,547 words and 345 pages. 151 references, 19 from Deleuze, lol. but I am not sure if I include magazines? Hmmm… I think I need some help with formatting.
