Swiped from all over the f-list.

Writing and Academic stuff
From [livejournal.com profile] havocthecat and comments therein:
MIT Open Courseware: lecture notes and exams from all sorts of classes

10 Universities with free online writing classes (Shakespeare tag included because Univ. of Utah has a Shakes course.)

These include links to Purdue's "OWL": Online Writing Lab with lots of resources and England's Open University, which has a variety of undergrad and grad courses.

Rennie Stuff
For all the Renaissance fair enthusiasts who haven't heard yet, tonight's episode of "Dinner Impossible" (Food Network, 10pm, repeats listed in link) is set at our very own Maryland Renaissance Festival.

Fan Stuff
There's been a lot of discussion comparing the Torchwood S1 episode Cyberwoman to the Torchwood S2 episode Sleeper (This Saturday's for the American viewers). I particularly enjoyed this one.

From [livejournal.com profile] calufrax, a cycle of Jack stories as he relives his way back through the 20th century.

*giggle*snort*-worthy short Doctor Who/crossover fic. I can't say more for spoiling it. Worksafe. Read, it's only 5 paragraphs.

Read, it's only 5 paragraphs.

But such brilliant paragraphs they are...

(and now I am imagining that particular reunion episode...)

I'm caught between wanting a series and being afraid that extending it would blow it.

Great links! The writing ones, in particular, are being bookmarked.

re- "Giggle-snort worthy cross-over"...

YUP- Knew it all along- and the bumper sticker I saw 8 years ago,(And should have grabbed!) said much the same thing... :D

Thank you so much for the link to the opencourseware site. Their Anthropology modules are going to come in real handy!
