So, there is the promptathon of glory and epic and joy with all of its lovely, lovely prompts, and then if anyone else is anything like me (um, please? don't leave me alone...) then not only are you still poking at prompts, but also at pre-promptathon fics. And oh, you still have to find time to read everyone's, and do that pesky thing known as Real Life...

So thus, I declare the second Creative Support Group post open!

Come flail and squee and commiserate, ask for help and opinions, tantalize the rest of us with snippets, pull up a chair and ponder how, with all of the rope!kink going on, we still don't have a fic that actually involves Natasha tying Clint up...

You know, among other things ;D

Someone on my lj thread on this told me that in America 'Doctor' is higher up the academic ladder than 'Professor'? Because over here 'Professor' is higher and if people are a Professor they definitely like to be called one. If people prefer to be called Professor, like Xavier, is there a sort of reason for that? Like being more approachable to students or something? Or is it a specific position?

Selvig seems to be labelled as 'Dr Selvig', which is what I've been thinking of him as, but when I spotted that he was a Professor that made me pause.

Here in the US, I've kind of noticed it varying by discipline. Folks in the hard sciences tend to prefer "Dr" while people in the humanities tend to prefer "professor" ("soft" science folks go either way). I think a lot of it is about approachability, honestly. The hardcore science folks tend to care a little bit less about whether or not their students adore them.

Well since Selvig is Physics and seems to be called Doctor in most places I'll go with that then :) I don't think Selvig worries too much about approachability when he goes to places as far as New Mexico, middle of nowhere, to research *grins*.
