Fwd: [bardsden_fic] Slash Demographics Survey

[Lynn]

I don't know to how many of you this would apply to, but I'm posting this just
in case...
 
Oh, BTW, to anyone who has read all 5 books,(But not nessisarily any fan fics)
is there ANYONE out there who can tell me why in almost EVERY ff that I've
read, Seamus is almost always portrayed as (for lack of a better phrase)
*ahem* a "gay slut". Usually anything *that* universal would be based on
something from the books.(I.E. Sirius/Remus and the hug from PoS[Prisoner
of Azkaban]) I'm just wondering if there's something that I've missed. If anyone
has any ideas, PLEASE send me a reply.either at the group, or my personal
e-mail. Thanks!

From: Rushlight 
Subject: Slash Demographics Survey

For those who may not know me, I'm a slash writer who goes by the
pseudonym Rushlight. I've been writing slash for the past six years,
and have been involved in several different fandoms.

There seem to be a great deal of assumptions flying around about the
demographics of the slash community, none of which have any particular
objective basis. In response to the recent debates I've been
witnessing on this issue, I decided to post this survey.

All results will be completely anonymous, and are intended only to get
an accurate view of the demographics of the slash community.

For the purposes of this survey, SLASH is defined as: "fictional
stories portraying characters from a published media (e.g., television
series, movie, comic, anime, book, etc.) having romantic and/or sexual
feelings toward another character of the same gender." These stories
may or may not include scenes of explicit sex between the characters.

Please email all responses to Rushlight at n_sanity75 at hotmail.com

Slash demographics survey:

Please answer the following questions as honestly as possible. All
results will remain anonymous.


1. Your gender

2. Your age

3. Highest level of education

4. What fandoms are you active in (or have been active in in the past)?

5. Do you read slash fiction, write slash fiction, or do both?

6. Do you read/write m/m pairings, f/f pairings, or both?

7. On the following scale of 0-6, how do you rate your sexual
orientation?


0 (exclusively heterosexual)
1
2
3 (equally homosexual/heterosexual)
4
5
6 (exclusively homosexual)


8. If you are a writer, do you write original fiction in addition to
slash fiction?

9. Any other demographics or comments you care to share

Feel free to distribute this survey (with all the header information
intact) to any slash writers or readers you feel might find it of
interest. The more responses I get, the more accurate the results will
be.

Thank you for participating!
