Hey, all! Welcome to The Unapologetic Nerd. I'm Megan, said unapologetic nerd.
So I created this blog because I have this huge tendency to go into profoundly detailed reviews, meta, and various other deconstructions about shows and books and whatever else I happen to be obsessed with. Only the thing is, no one I know cares to discuss this stuff with me. So the idea is I'll put it here, and hopefully hear some thoughts from other people as well.
I love stories, I study the structure of stories in my spare time, and I tend to be pretty analytical (though no less invested) when it comes to them. So if that's what you're into, please, join the club.
I go back and forth on various obsessions (a loose definition of the word "obsession"), and I suspect you'll be seeing a fair variety popping up, but lately, I'll probably be writing about BBCs Merlin (I just finished it, and in mourning my brain needs ways to resurrect it). I suspect I'll also write about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is almost synonymous with religion for me, and its spin-off Angel, as well as various other stories I'm slightly less hard-core about that pop in and out of my consciousness (Avatar: the Last Airbender, Firefly, Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl.... just to name a few).
I also may stop being specific once in a while and address tropes and stories in general. Who knows? Anything could happen. It's a brave new world out there.
A note: I usually find it difficult to be concise during these deconstructions. I think that they're detailed enough to justify this, but, well... thought I'd offer a fair warning.
So, if you're down for a bloggy adventure with me, then great! I can't wait! And if that's not what you're into, then hey, that's cool. The nerd life ain't for everyone. But I won't apologize for it.
(See what I did there?)
