Months ago I read a wonderful essay on some Doctor/Master community. I had it bookmarked then my hard drive crashed and I lost all my bookmarks.

The essay interpreted the Doctor/Master relationship through Edmund Burke's dichotomy of the sublime and the beautiful. It's basic thesis was that their relationship is so epic that it transcends anything beautiful or romantic and enters the universe shattering arena of the sublime.


The reason I want to find this essay is that I was having a discussion with a professor who teaches courses about cyberculture in the English department and she mentioned she had a couple students who wrote essays about fanfiction and slashfiction and they used Doctor Who as a case study. We're supposed to talk again some time and I was trying to remember where I read some of this interesting philosophical stuff.

Thanks.
