I don't know if you have done it already, but here is a list of things you can do at your thesis defense.  :green:

:LMAO:

:LMAO:

:LMAO:

don't put ideas into my head!

i now have to try and forget the following, cos i'm soooooooo fucking tempted:


74.    Use a Greek Chorus to highlight important points.
118.  Use both sides of your overhead transparencies.
120.  Do your entire defense operatically.
132.  Bring a microphone. Point it at the questioner, talk-show style.

brilliant!   :plus:

Is this for a PhD?  In which subject? 

I'm envious.  I think my studying days are over for good.

How does one defend a thesis on creative writing? Get all literary about existing writing? Write something really damn good and read it aloud?

:D

it's a little of the first thing you suggested.  however, the PhD consists of a piece of original creative writing - novel, playscript, poetry: the first, in my case - and a contextualising thesis, which involves original and rigorous research, much as any other thesis.  what they'll do is grill me on both my academic research and my creative choices.

bath spa university's website has a reasonable explanation of the CW PhD:

and, in more detail:
