TIL that J. Robert Oppenheimer, the renowned physicist often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb," had a lesser-known passion for poetry. Despite his significant contributions to science, Oppenheimer also dabbled in writing and enjoyed immersing himself in the world of literature and verse.

Those who got their BA in Literature (Creative Writing Concentration) or Literature, do you recommend it?

Advice

Hi writers, I love this sub so much and you are all so helpful. I remember a few months back I was struggling to see a future with writing and you all helped me see there are so many options :) I’m currently getting ready to transfer to UCSC (university of California Santa Cruz) and since I got my associates in English I wanted to pick a major where I can write a lot and the classes I took would come in handy so I’m torn between Literature or Literature with a concentration in Creative writing. Any suggestions? I can’t decide because both sound fun, I just want to pick the one where I can become the best writer I can be though I’m sure both are great options. Any advice is greatly appreciated

What’s the oldest fandom you’re reading/writing?

Discussion (Non-question)

I’m relatively new on AO3 (lurker but just started posting earlier this year) and I’m curious as to what the oldest fandom it is that people are interested in.

I hate to admit mine, but it’s the Mighty Ducks Animated Series. I have no idea what rekindled this interest of mine, but it’s been fun so far

It’s actually a real problem that men increasingly don’t read books and literature is seen as geared towards women

I say this as a man who’s noticed how female dominated most literary spaces tend to be. Most book clubs are female dominated, a lot of booktok and whatnot seems geared towards women, and many online literary communities/forums seem to be mostly women. I know a good deal of men who haven’t seriously read a novel in years. And it’s like a positive feedback loop: the more feminine that reading seems, the less interested men are in doing it.

I see this as an issue, firstly, because of how much men could benefit from reading more. A lot of my greatest life lessons have come from sources as diverse as Harry Potter, Ulysses, The Old Man and the Sea, and Song of Solomon. Regularly reading substantive books sharpens intellect, strengthens concentration, and, perhaps most importantly, builds emotional intelligence and empathy. Moreover, I have few men to talk with about books. Obviously, I don’t mind discussing with women, but as men, we bring our own unique perspectives in analyzing literature due to our generally different life experiences when compared to women. Just as women add unique elements to the discussion based upon their experiences, I feel we miss out on so many unique, interesting interpretations of literature because men simply don’t read.

I don’t know what the solution to this problem is, but I thought I’d share and ask if you saw a similar phenomenon. Sure, you have male-geared literature like Lord of the Rings and Hemingway, but I increasingly notice even the LOTR books are being read more by women, although the movies seem to still be more popular with men.

Why are teachers being allowed to use AI to grade papers, without actually reading it, but students get in trouble for generating it, without actually writing it?

Serious replies only

Like seriously. Isn't this ironic?

Edit because this is blowing up.

I'm not a student, or teacher.

I'm just wondering why teachers and students can't work together using AI , and is has to be this "taboo" thing.

That's at least what I have observed from the outside looking in.

All of you 100% missed my point!

"I feel the child is getting short changed on both ends. By generating papers with chatGPT, and having their paper graded by chatGPT, you never actually get a humans opinion on your work."

I really had the child's best interest in mind but you all are so fast to attack someone.... Jesus. You people who don't want healthy discourse are the problem.
