I'm beginning to think that the title of my THESIS, Transmedia Storytelling: Business, Aesthetics and Production at the Jim Henson Company, might be something of a misnomer. True, the entire middle third of the paper is dedicated to Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal and all their respective transmedia extensions, but the paper's index will also include references to:

• Batman
• Superman
• Sandman
• Hellboy
• Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt
• Stephen King
• Final Fantasy VII
• Final Fantasy XIII
• Dr. Who
• Star Wars
• Star Trek
• Harry Potter
• The Matrix
• Lord of the Rings
• The Bible
• Stargate
• Apollo
• Humphrey Bogart
• The Chronicles of Narnia
• The Wizard of Oz
• Peter Pan
• Alice in Wonderland
• Mobile devices
• Joseph Campbell
• Manga
• Keats
• The Grateful Dead
• Greek mythology
• Web 2.0

In other words, when it's finished it's going to be a pretty solid map of my head. Kind of. Good grief, it's going to be a mess...

Current processed word-count: 13,605, and about half of that is brand new stuff, not just spliced-in stuff. Man, I need a break.
