I wish you luck with that. If you want company on that journey, drop by ysabetwordsmith -- we have a bunch of gender-variant folks there. Good News and Hard Things posts are for community interaction.

I don't think I've ever met a fan who doesn't get all excited about their passions. It's what brings us together.

Go you! Online education is equivalent to facetime education with the exception of a few things like linguistics or dancing where hands-on feedback is important. And even those fields have a lot of theory that can be learned online or from books.
Also, eventually people will realize that college has been bloated into a scam, and flee in droves; and they will realize that online classes don't need to be so damn expensive, so prices will drop. Then more folks can get the education they really want, not get bilked for stuff they don't need.
Me, I have a brickschool diploma. I still learned far more outside the conventional education system than I ever did inside it, since on my own I'm not chained to 25 idiots.

I will happily admit that I am a novice when it comes to actually posting fic on AO3, and for the handful of fic's I've posted, the response and feedback have caused happy tears. <<
Go you!

Hey, have you ever tried writing time travel based on different metaphors to see how they affect the plot? It can make huge differences that result in stories unlike what has been told before. Some of mine include "time travel is a Jenga game" in The Time Towers on my Serial Poetry page and "time travel is sewing" in "Uptime Girl."
Bleach seems like a good match for this idea, given its Asian origin. A lot of the symbolism there is different.
