Well not as an author, but as an editor. there is a book about how the simpsons and psychology fit together, one of the chapters was written by a professor of my sisters. all the teachers and doctors writing for this, were writing for people like them, using lingo only they know
though my sisters prof saw it as.."People like him will read this, not accomplished profs"..

so we sat down, and i went over his 7 drafts about 9 times a piece..pointed out small errors about the show all the way to understanding what the show tried to show.....

it is something die hard fans like me will like and understand..even if its one chapter.

It was only one chapter for him, so to write a whole book like OSC does msut be tediious..this was a 2 month process for one chapter...hats off to ya mr. card
