This website is my Capstone Project, the final assignment for my Master of Arts degree for the Professional & Digital Media Writing program at East Stroudsburg University, and I am so excited to be able to share it with you!

 

I am a fandom geek and a research nerd who loves to travel and write about my adventures, and having the opportunity to create a website filled with researched articles and my own photos accompanied by screenshots from some of my favorite fandom television shows and movies is a true labor of love.

 

The idea evolved from a paper magazine to a website, and from a planned trip in 2020 to a memoir of sorts from a trip taken in 2015 due to the pandemic and travel restrictions.

 

The website is set up in sections: 

 

2015 London Adventures: Four long read articles (13-19 minute reads) that chronicle the four days and three nights I spent exploring London with my friend Ann who had come up with a mystery itinerary based on her question before I arrived “What fandoms are you into?” (The answer was Doctor Who, James Bond, BBC’s Sherlock, and Paddington.)

​

Spotlight Locations: Shorter, but more in-depth articles about a specific location and its history, as well as how the scene fits into the overall fandom and how I felt when I visited. I also included how to visit virtually.

​

Virtual Visits: Three locations that I had planned to visit but could not, and so I virtually travelled there instead and wrote about the location history and how it fits into the fandom, as well as how to virtually visit.

​

Gallery: Pictures that didn’t fit into the articles from my time wandering London, but I wanted to share.

​

Sources: A long list of the sources I used when researching the locations and their histories, as well as the books and media used.

​

Reflection Paper: This paper is part of the project itself, the progression from an idea to reality, how my classes informed and enhanced the project, and what I learned along the way.
