Fan Fiction questions

[Sharon Hayes]

 Hi All,

I am currently writing a scholarly paper on fan fiction and as part of that am conducting some research into who reads and/or writes fan faction and why.  if anyone out there is interested in completing a short survey I would greatly appreciate their assistance, and would be more than happy to provide a copy of the final paper.  I am particularly interested in slash fiction, but would also like to hear from anyone who reads/writes fan fiction.

If you'd like to contribute, please cute and paste the following questions and email directly to me at s.hayes at qut.edu.au<mailto:s.hayes at qut.edu.au>. I don't intend any of the questions to be offensive; please feel free to answer just those you want to. I have put my affiliation below as proof of my sincerity (ie I am not using this for any purpose other than academic).

1. What is your age?

2. What is your gender?

3. What is your Marital Status?

4. What is your sexual orientation?

5. What is the highest level of education you have?

6. What is your occupation?

7. How often do you read fan faction?

8. What kinds of fan fiction do you enjoy?

9. Why do you like fan faction?

10. If you are a shipper, which ships do you prefer?

11. Do you prefer slash fiction or straight fan fiction?

12. If you prefer slash fiction, why? (I know that's a difficult one!)

13. Do you write fan faction?  Please indicate whether slash or straight. (I would also appreciate links to your work)

14. if you write fan fiction, what do you get out of it?
