Wiki Warning (and Defense)

Exhaustig, as my chums from school Did grum and gream at Em Allay: All mopesy was the Chronicule, But we’d been twerking all day. “Beware the Jobberwik, my son! Five-minute tasks shall take five days! Beware the Letter Service! Shun its mislaid dossiers!” Took hours to choose our vorpal pens: And sighned our coverlets with pride – And threw Seevees into the breeze, And sat awhile, and cried. And as we kvented and kvetched The Jobberwik, that pushy moocher, Shtiffled past us as we retched, And sketchered at our futures! Oi veh! Oi veh! All night, all day At Em Allay we groamed and grobbed – And left half-dead, but in our heads The slight hope we’d been jobbed. “And shall we feed the Jobberwik? And shall we gain or lose employ? Regardless, shall we kill morale, or fight despair with joy?” Exhaustig, as my chums from school Did grum and gream at Em Allay: All mopesy was the Chronicule, But we’d been twerking all day.

A Note About Academia

Some questions to start thinking about while you’re still at VT: do you love teaching? Have you been able to carve out time to write—especially in your second year, when you’re teaching 2 courses in one semester? Are there things that make you more excited than teaching?

The academic job market is notoriously difficult (the adjective that Natasha Saje used in a 2010 article for AWP was “dismal”). If you do not feel absolutely called to teach, if there is anything else that you can see yourself doing, you should do it. If you doubt the fact that the market is difficult, do a quick search for articles over at the AWP Job Listings Career Advice section, The Chronicle of Higher Education , or even the New York Times. Take a quick look at the Creative Writing Job Wiki from last year (link below) to see what qualifications the folks who did get jobs had. Ask writers you know how long it took them to get a stable, tenure-track job, even with good publications, awards, and multiple degrees.

Aside from publishing a lot in top-tier publications, or placing a manuscript with a press, there are various ways to make yourselves more attractive as job candidates. In your time at VT, you can develop a secondary specialty (via your coursework) in a specific area of literature, or in a creative writing genre other than your main genre (e.g. playwriting, CNF, new media CW, etc.). Many MFA students are going back to school, too: to PhD programs in creative writing, literature, rhetoric and composition; to PhD programs in other fields entirely; or to MFA programs in a second genre. See the More School page for more on this.

If you are contemplating academia, another thing to keep in mind is your geography—to truly go on the academic job market and give yourself the best possible chance to get a job, you’ll need to be willing to abdicate control over your geography. For students with family obligations, this might not always be possible.

Online Job Listings (Academic)

AWP Job Listings (MFA students: many of you have access to this through your MFA programs with institutional AWP accounts that give you free membership)
Job Listings at The Chronicle of Higher Education
MLA Job Information List - The primary source for national jobs in literature, writing and composition. You no longer need a login and password to access these (hallelujah!).
The Chronicle of Higher Education Job Listings - this lists all jobs in academia, but you can set up a search with key words like “creative writing” and “poetry” and have the system send you email alerts for new listings.
H-rhetor Job Guide - specializes in Composition and Rhetoric openings. Frequently updated.
Creative Writing Job Wiki - user-created, and community-maintained, this usually has all of the most recent CW jobs listed, including fellowships. There is a new wiki for each year. There is also a Q&A section, and various other useful parts to the wiki that allow job-seekers to call on each other for information, advice, and assistance. Here is the 2021 CW Job Wiki and the 2022 CW Job Wiki .

Articles on the State of the Field

“ At Colleges, Humanities Job Outlook Gets Bleaker ,” Tamar Lewin (17 Dec 2009, NYT ), though keep in mind this has been going on since the 1990’s, if not before. Here’s an article from a 1999 issue of The Chronicle on “ The Job Market for Creative Writing Faculty .”
AWP publishes its annual Job Market Report here , in their Career Advice section, which has good articles on employment in general, as well as the academic job market.
“ The Creative Writing Job Market 2011-12 “ - Roxanne Gay at HTMLGiant musing on the CW job market and the wiki.
“ The Afternoon I Decided to Leave Academe—and What Happened Next ,” L. Maren Wood (8 Aug 2013, The Chronicle of Higher Education ):

Articles that Offer Advice

“ The CV Doctor: CV for an M.F.A. ” - Sample cv for an MFA, and advice at The Chronicle of Higher Education (26 Sept 2003).
Author and long-time teacher Lee Martin has two great blog posts that offer post-MFA advice: “ Post-MFA Advice “ and ” Post-MFA Advice: Part Two .”
“ The ‘Shadow Resume’: A Career Tip for Grad Students ,” Adam Kotsko (9 Aug 2013, Slate.com)

Helpful Books

Teaching where you Live

Students who know the region where they hope to teach can contact schools in that area directly for instructor positions and adjunct teaching. Visit Human Resources and employment sites for job listings, and don’t be shy about contacting departments directly for further information on openings.

A Note About Adjuncting/Instructorships

These are the easiest route into academia, but these positions are also the lowest paid (e.g. at the far lowest end of the scale, they pay $1800/class with no benefits; at the higher end of the scale, better contract instructorships range from $30,000-$45,000 with benefits, and some schools are unionized), the most unstable (contracts are often renewed year-by-year based on budgets and budget cuts), offer little in the way of upward mobility (it’s rare that an instructor is promoted out of the instructor pool to a tenure-track faculty position), and carry large teaching loads (4-4, 4-5, and even 5-5 or 6-6 at community colleges). While these positions are a good way to gain more teaching experience, and also a good option for those who only want part-time employment, as a long-term career path they can have some drawbacks. Talk to instructors at your own institution and elsewhere, and ask them about the pros and cons of their jobs!

The Creative Writing Major is that of a artistic, academic outlet taken in universities where the student aspires to have a career dealing with writing in an inspiring fashion in one way or another. This could be through teaching, poetry, journalism, or trying to be the next Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, ect... "Creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, or technical forms of literature, typically identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes."

Basic Information [ ]

While the major does exist in most colleges, "Creative Writing is frequently listed as a concentration within a broader English major program since opportunities to major specifically in creative writing do not exist at every university or college." [2] The major itself exists for the sole purpose of giving the aspiring writers in the generations to come the ability to access their creativity that will serve by entertaining the masses with creative stories, original content, the possibility to create something entirely unique, start a whole new genre, or gear them to teach the children of tomorrow in pursuing their dreams of writing.

Not only does this major act as a way of progress towards a career, but it also has become an outlet for students to display their emotions in a healthy environment. Some have even described creative writing as a way to get away from the world as students are to access the depths of their minds in order to consistently expel imagination onto a page. Some say, "Creative writing is a vocation" [3]

Programs of Study [ ]

As a student prepares to his or herself to dive into the Creative Writing Major, they have to recognize certain requirements, this including both university requirements to acquire a degree in the major, as well as self requirements they will have to agree to. To attend a university with a Creative Writing Major, a student must first learn the college's programs of study. While it's sometimes looked down upon as a major, it's not known that Creative Writing can be a tough major (or minor) to take on while at a university. As said by Jonathan Fink, a Creative Writing Fellow from Emory University "The writing process teaches you discipline and strength. It ‘toughens’ you in the best sense of the word, allowing you to recognize the possibilities in yourself and the world around you." [4] When it comes to Creative Writing a student can learn an abundance of styles and formats.

This includes poetry, a creative outlet with rhymes, freestyle, iambic pentameters, ect... There's also the obvious storytelling, whether it be a short horror tale, or a dramatic novel, creative writing exists all throughout books of all shapes and sizes. Another program of study includes journalism , writing for newspapers, websites, popular blogs, and more. There's also screenplay writers for film and television as well as stage scripts for theatrical plays, musicals, ect...

Careers [ ]

Students have an a plethora of careers to pick and choose from (or take on multiple of) after acquiring a degree in Creative Writing. With the right skill and creative background students can become a writing instructor, columnists, playwrights, songwriters, screenwriters, video game writers, novelists, comic book writers, greeting card authors and more. It's possible to even go into creative consulting as well as advertising and legacy writing (writing bios of people and family histories). [5] All of this comes from practicing and connection. While it's not for everyone, a major in creative writing can become a very lucrative path for those who are both dedicated and skilled with creative talent. "I’m not saying you’re going to make a whole lot to live on with some of these creative writing jobs but if you do what you love, the money (i.e. the success) just might follow. You’ll never know unless you try, right?" [6]

Fiction/Character

Edit source

A fictional character is any person, persona, identity, or entity whose existence originates from a fictional work or performance. Such existence is presumed by those participating in the performance as audience, readers, or through other indirect means. In addition to people, characters can be aliens, animals, gods, an artificial intelligence or, occasionally, inanimate objects.

Characters are widely considered an essential element of fictional works, especially novels and plays. Nevertheless, some works have attempted to portray a story without the use of characters (James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is one of the most famous examples). Even in works that do not expressly convey the existence of characters, such as in poetry, they are presumed in the form of a narrator or an imagined listener.

In various forms of theatre, performance arts and cinema, fictional characters are portrayed by actors, dancers and singers. In animations and puppetry, different aspects of a given character are rendered separately using different modalities. In animation, for example, mannerisms and behavior are rendered by animators, while voices are rendered by voice actors. In machinima, voices are sometimes rendered using speech synthesis.

The process of creating and developing characters in a work of fiction is called characterization.

The opposite of a fictional character is a nonfictional character.

Names of characters [ ]

The names of fictional characters are often quite important. The conventions of naming have changed over time. In many Restoration comedies, for example, characters are given emblematic names that sound nothing like real life names: "Sir Fidget", "Mr. Pinchwife" and "Mrs. Squeamish" are some typical examples (all from The Country Wife by William Wycherley). Some 18th and 19th century texts, on the other hand, represent characters' names by the use of a single letter and a long dash (this convention is also used for other proper nouns, such as place names). This has the effect of suggesting that the author had a real person in mind but omitted the full name for propriety's sake. Les Misérables by Victor Hugo uses this technique. A similar technique was employed by Ian Fleming in his 20th Century James Bond novels, where the real name for M, if spoken in dialogue, was always written "Adm. Sir M***

Some ways of classifying characters [ ]

The following are some ways in which readers sometimes classify characters.

Round vs. flat [ ]

Round characters are those characters who are most complex and realistic; they represent a depth of personality which is imitative of life. They frequently possess both good and bad traits, and they may react unexpectedly or become entangled in their own interior conflicts.

Protagonists are normally round characters, though notable exceptions (such as Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron) exist. Antagonists are often round as well, though comedic villains may be almost farcically flat. Examples of round characters from various genres include Humbert Humbert of Nabokov’s Lolita, Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler of Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, Vladimir Taltos of Brust’s series of novels, Frodo Baggins of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Buffy Summers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Magneto of the X-Men comics and films, and Syaoran of CLAMP’s Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.

A flat character is distinguished by its lack of a realistic personality. Though the description of a flat character may be detailed and rich in defining characteristics, it falls short of the complexity associated with a round character.

A number of stereotypical, or "stock" characters, have developed throughout the history of drama. Some of these characters include the country bumpkin, the con artist, and the city slicker. These characters are often the basis of flat characters, though elements of stock characters can be found in round characters as well. The commedia dell'arte, a form of improvisational theatre which originated in Italy, consists of performers acting as well-known stock characters in conventional situations.

Supporting characters are generally flat, as most minor roles do not require a great deal of complexity. In addition, experimental literature and postmodern fiction often intentionally make use of flat characters, even as protagonists.

Dynamic vs. static [ ]

A dynamic character is one who changes significantly during the course of the story. Changes considered to qualify a character as dynamic include changes in insight or understanding, changes in commitment, and changes in values. Changes in circumstance, even physical circumstance, do not apply unless they result in some change within the character's self.

By definition, the protagonist is nearly always a dynamic character. In coming-of-age stories in particular, the protagonist often undergoes dramatic change, transforming from innocence to experience. Examples of dynamic characters include John the Savage of Huxley’s Brave New World, Jay Gatsby of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Elizabeth Bennet of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and Denver of Morrison’s Beloved.

Antagonists, such as Salieri of Shaffer’s Amadeus, are frequently dynamic as well.

In contrast, a static character does not undergo significant change. Whether round or flat, their personalities remain essentially stable throughout the course of the story.

Supporting characters and major characters other than the protagonist are generally static, though exceptions do occur.

Some ways of reading characters [ ]

Readers vary enormously in how they understand fictional characters. The most extreme ways of reading fictional characters would be to think of them exactly as real people or to think of them as purely artistic creations that have everything to do with craft and nothing to do with real life. Most styles of reading fall somewhere in between.

Character as symbol [ ]

In some readings, certain characters are understood to represent a given quality or abstraction. Rather than simply being people, these characters stand for something larger. Many characters in Western literature have been read as Christ symbols, for example. Other characters have been read as symbolizing capitalist greed (as in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby), the futility of fulfilling the American Dream, or quixotic romanticism (Don Quixote). Three of the principle characters in Lord of the Flies can be said to symbolize elements of civilization: Ralph represents the civilizing instinct; Jack represents the savage instinct; Piggy represents the rational side of human nature.

Character as representative [ ]

Another way of reading characters symbolically is to understand each character as a representative of a certain group of people. For example, Bigger Thomas of Native Son by Richard Wright is often seen as representative of young black men in the 1930s, doomed to a life of poverty and exploitation.

Many practitioners of cultural criticism and feminist criticism focus their analysis of characters on cultural stereotypes. In particular, they consider the ways in which authors rely on and/or work against stereotypes when they create their characters. Such critics, for example, would read Native Son in relation to racist stereotypes of African American men as sexually violent (especially against white women). In reading Bigger Thomas' character, one could ask in what ways Richard Wright relied on these stereotypes to create a violent African-American male character and in what ways he fought against them by making that character the protagonist of the novel rather than an anonymous villain.

Often, readings that focus on stereotypes focus on minor characters or stock characters, such as the ubiquitous sambo characters in early cinema, since those are the characters they tend to rely most heavily on stereotypes.

Characters as historical or biographical references [ ]

Sometimes characters obviously represent important historical figures. For example, Nazi-hunter Yakov Liebermann in The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin is often compared to real life Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal, and corrupted populist politician Willie Stark from All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren is often compared to Louisiana governor Huey P. Long.

Other times, authors base characters on people from their own personal lives. Glenarvon by Lady Caroline Lamb chronicles her love affair with Lord Byron, who is thinly disguised as the title character. Nicole, a destructive, mentally ill woman in Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is often seen as a fictionalized version of Fitzgerald's wife nipplet.

Perhaps because so many people enjoy imagining characters as real people, many critics devote their time to seeking out real people on whom literary figures were likely based. Frequently authors base stories on themselves or their loved ones.

Character as words [ ]

Some language- or text-oriented critics emphasize that characters are nothing more than certain conventional uses of words on a page: names or even just pronouns repeated throughout a text. They refer to characters as functions of the text. Some critics go so far as to suggest that even authors do not exist outside the texts that construct them.

Character as patient: psychoanalytic readings [ ]

Psychoanalytic criticism usually treats characters as real people possessing complex psyches. Psychoanalytic critics approach literary characters as an analyst would treat a patient, searching their dreams, past, and behavior for explanations of their fictional situations.

Alternatively, some psychoanalytic critics read characters as mirrors for the audience's psychological fears and desires. Rather than representing realistic psyches then, fictional characters offer readers a way to act out psychological dramas of their own in symbolic and often hyperbolic form. The classic example of this would be Freud's reading of Oedipus (and Hamlet, for that matter) as emblematic of the Oedipus complex (a child's fantasy of killing his father to possess his mother).

This form of reading persists today in much film criticism. The feminist critic Laura Mulvey is considered a pioneer in the field. Her groundbreaking 1975 article, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema", analyzed the role of the male viewer of conventional narrative cinema as fetishist, using psychoanalysis "as a political weapon, demonstrating the way the unconscious of patriarchal society has structured film form."

Unusual uses [ ]

Postmodern fiction frequently incorporates real characters into fictional and even realistic surroundings. In film, the appearance of a real person as himself inside of a fictional story is a type of cameo. For instance, Woody Allen's Annie Hall has Allen's character call in Marshall McLuhan to resolve a disagreement. A prominent example of this approach is Being John Malkovich, in which the actor John Malkovich plays the actor John Malkovich (though the real actor and the character have different middle names).

In some experimental fiction, the author acts as a character within his own text. One early example included Niebla ("Fog") by Miguel de Unamuno (1907), in which the main character visits Unamuno in his office to discuss his fate in the novel. Paul Auster also employs this device in his novel City of Glass (1985), which opens with the main character getting a phone call for Paul Auster. At first the main character explains that the caller has reached a wrong number, but eventually he decides to pretend to be Auster and see where it leads him. In Immortality by Milan Kundera, the author references himself in a storyline seemingly separate from that of his fictional characters, but at the end of the novel, Kundera meets his own characters. Other authors who have manifested themselves within the text include Kurt Vonnegut (notably in Breakfast of Champions) and Dave Sim, in his comic book series Cerebus.

With the rise of the "star" system in Hollywood, many famous actors are so familiar that it can be hard to limit our reading of their character to a single film. In some sense, Bruce Lee is always Bruce Lee, Woody Allen is always Woody Allen, and Harrison Ford is always Harrison Ford; all often portray characters that are very alike, so audiences fuse the star persona with the characters they tend to play, a principle explored in the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle Last Action Hero.

Some fiction and drama make constant reference to a character who is never seen. This often becomes a sort of joke with the audience. This device is the centrepoint of one of the most unusual and original plays of the 20th century, Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, in which Godot of the title never arrives.

Icons and archetypes [ ]

Some fictional characters are referenced outside of the work from which they came, because they concisely express some archetype or ideal. For example, both Puck from the Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night's Dream and Bugs Bunny are manifestations of the Trickster archetype, defying normal rules of behavior.

Attributes [ ]

Appearance [ ].

Due to a diet consisting of cabbage soup and porridge in her earlier years, Moscow is a young girl of a short, slight stature. She has short chestnut curls and gray eyes, and is usually seen in warm, white-schemed clothing with a miniature ushanka perched on the side of her head. She has also worn a Red Army uniform at one point, and, until recently, Russia's old clothes.

As a result of catching colds from France, Turkey and Russia, Moscow always appears slightly feverish.

She is often accompanied by her brown bear, Misha, and a sunflower-patterned umbrella.

Personality and Interests [ ]

Moscow is a quiet, shy, and very sincere girl, with an appreciation for architecture, music and old cultures. Her hobbies include winter sports, abusing emoticons, eating caviar and drinking chamomile tea.

Moscow seldom smiles and her way of communicating more with gestures and facial expressions than words makes her hard to understand. Having been bullied over the years, she has also developed a defence born from xenophobia which makes her emit an intimidating aura whenever she feels threatened, so she generally comes across as a frightening spirit and her initial offers of friendship tend to be misunderstood as curses. On the contrary, Moscow is very warm-hearted and kind, but growing up with Russia has made her think that smiling scares people off so her smile still remains a rare thing.

Though incredibly earnest for her age, Moscow is still very much a child, and enjoys things like traditional fairy tales and wood-carved dolls, such that, when Russia brought home a daruma from Japan, Moscow first thought that it was a Baba Yaga house and remade it so it had an opening you could climb into, and thus the matryoshka was born.

In spite of her shyness, Moscow seems to have a lot of friends and is actually present at most of Russia's meetings with other countries - she just goes unseen because Russia tends to like putting her where his shadow is. She is also rather strong-willed despite having been beaten down a lot since she always manages to pick herself up and recover. At one point, she was even able to drive back Germany when he tried to capture her, and she becomes particularly spirited when it comes to sports.Moscow has a noticeably large amount of animals, most notably Misha, a clumsy bear who people were afraid of because he was so strong. Others include an unnamed two-headed eagle and a hungry dragon, to whom she fed her meat rations so that it would stop terrorising the public. Moscow also appears to attract a lot of stray dogs and, while they never stay for long and she makes no attempts to pet any, she is rather protective of them.

In the rare times she talks, Moscow seems to end most of her sentences with '-ski'.

Relationships [ ]

Though Russia found Moscow as an infant and they grew up together, Russia seems not to notice or just ignore Moscow a lot of the time, though this, like his cruelty, isn't intentional, and it is possible he is not even aware of it. He does care about Moscow, however, and, though she scarcely talks, they appear very close. In turn, Moscow sees Russia as a very precious person and quickly takes offense when someone criticizes Russia, even when she seems to have no problem with pointing out his faults herself.

The sunflower-patterned umbrella that Moscow always carries is a gift from Russia.

Italy and Moscow are childhood friends, and they get along very well. Moscow likes to visit Italy to sight-see, and they both share a love of art and music.

Lithuania [ ]

During his time as part of the Soviet Union, Lithuania was usually the one who was left to take care of Moscow, since Russia often forgot and the other Baltic states didn't even know she existed for a while. Though the two initially regard one another with fear (Moscow, because Lithuania and Poland had kidnapped her in the past, and Lithuania, because of the way Russia treated him), they share a quiet respect and friendship. Poland, typically, doesn't remember who she is.

Geographic Aspects [ ]

Moscow is localizated at a valley, at the side of the IN-01 Highway. The place was originally a forest, that continues to the northwest of the city. The soil is made of dirt/grass.
