That's a wonderful combination to catch.

Super-dorky English-y things like, well, just what you put, incidentally: collecting critical essays for fandoms. I especially love perusing academic databases for published essays, no matter how sparse the writing may be. I'm a total Hamlet geek, so the Hamlet essay collection is my largest. Other English-dork interests include proofreading for fun and profit, proofreading for pure sport, proofreading as a reflex, burying myself under pages and piles of research and info just so my fiction can be accurate, geeking over the chance to relate classic lit parallels to my non-academic fandoms... Things like that. I love getting the chance to dweeb over critical discussions; it's part of why I find myself drawn to meta discussions.

Meta discussion is one of the major reasons I'm in fandom to begin with. I was big on doing critical essays of Death Note when the manga was still being fan translated, and it's still one of my favorite series to meta--there's so much there to sink your brain into.

And I hear you on piles of research--one of my latest research related acquisitions is 'Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: Environmental and Health Impacts' to help with a movie script I've been working on. Interesting stuff.
