Do you read fanfiction? Are you queer? Well then I’ve got the perfect survey for you!

Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national (Very prestigious) research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer! 

https://forms.gle/8sae8vzQRERAzYiX8

Update: The survey is currently being redone! You can find the reasoning behind this (and other FAQ) here [https://at.tumblr.com/mariathechosen1/queer-participation-and-representation-in/i689fhq3b2vn] and the new survey here: https://forms.gle/Tcoafs9dU627PNcn8

Here are some reasons to partcicipate: 

Science and stuff

Force a highly prestigious academic jury to read more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction 

Better my chances of winning real-life money by writing more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction

Help expand a largely ignored academic field (fandom studies)

It’ll only take like 8 minutes (5 minutes if you’re quick)

Uhhmmm…

Please?

The only requirement is that you have some sort of experience with fanfiction or fan works (Whether that be writing or reading). You do not have to be queer to participate and all answers are completely anonymous

Reblogs are appreciated!

saw a post and now i need an answer:

before anyone gets mad about why [insert kitchen thing] wasn't included i knew that would happen because there's plenty of people that think one thing is normal in a kitchen while another doesn't so i used this neat thing called google so it's not my fault:

anyways please reblog for a bigger sample size :]

Hey would anyone here read a collection of queer fairytales? I’ve been working on writing a theoretical short story anthology of them and am thinking about audience

So far I got:

Marriage of convenience aroace Cinderella

Princess and the pauper+Snow White with a transfem love interest for the princess

Sleeping beauty and rapunzel mashup where they save each other and also religious trauma

Queer witch coven+maternal family issues

Prince Lindworm but lesbians with a side of class relations and inheritance

I want to do a Create Your Own Adventure book but Monster Fucker Lover edition. Do y’all want that? I would probably do a short one just like 5-10 posts total on here to test my skills and see how it’s received. I’ll have a few options for gender/sex and monster types but it’ll be slightly limited for the “test” posts

[innocentlymacabre]

then boy howdy, is The Crescent of Fools and Forgotten Time the movie for you!

(majorly appreciate any reblogs and signal boosting!)

Jayce and Lott find themselves in the twisted grasp of Lucille Carmine, one of the most dangerous Overlords of the criminal world, in a fantasy-heist, splicing the thrill of walking the edge of a knife with fantastical malevolence.

full intro here

And the best part is that you can get it made! Literally all you have to do is head to this link, read the script (you can also listen if that's more your style), and vote with your honest opinions. The winner of the competition gets their movie fully funded and produced!

I've found that the listening tool is more reliable than reading, so to make sure your vote counts in one go, just hit play and mute the tab while you read. Feel free to reach out to me if you run into any issues!

So go forth and read! Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell that annoying guy you always see at your bus stop in the morning!

P.S. If you send me a screenshot of your vote, I'll do everything I possibly can to get your name added to the credits :)

Shoutout to everyone who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps today and updated their fics on ao3

ok. so. i hear that you’re supposed to advertise your book before you publish, (duh) and i was thinking—what better way to do that than to post little snippets and stuff of my WIPs here on Tumblr?? i just wanna know if y’all would be interested in reading them!! (there is a poll at the end)

(whump community, i feel like y’all will especially really like this!!!)

so. for a summary of the universe: (i have many books and they are all so far in the same universe)

i basically took the Little Nightmares universe and then very heavily edited and changed it. i made lore for what causes the end of the world, added a bunch of new characters, locations, and other lore, and then there’s two continents—the Distorted Continent, and the ‘Normal’ Continent. the Distorted Continent is where all the monsters are, it’s under the Tower’s control, it’s FULL of monsters, distorted adults, and then a bunch of kids who have to try to survive it. the ‘Normal’ Continent was also affected, but it’s away from the Tower’s influence for the most part. it’s populated by humans and nonhumans—the nonhumans are things like demons, avians, (winged people) elves, orcs, et cetera. there’s also books set in the before and after of the world being ‘destroyed’. (the before is just the ordinary IRL world mostly)

ok, with the basics of the universe out of the way, here’s what my main book(s) is about.

the main plot centers around a group of kids. in the first book, they live in the distorted continent, and the plot centers around them traveling through there and trying to survive. the second book has a timeskip where they’re teenagers and live in the ‘normal’ continent, that plot centers more around the conflict between humans and nonhumans.

there is a LOT of whump. all the characters are queer in some way, most of them are neurodivergent, and about half are POC. there is also a very large female cast.

(also a bunch of secondary books, most of which relate to each other in some way, plus there’ll be a Gen2 for the main cast. lots of stuff. the genre is horror, and did i mention how much whump there is?? whump community should love this, plus any enjoyers of angst, hurt/comfort, and queer characters ^^)

anyways. my question. (also, if y’all read this far, thank you!!

Do you read fanfiction? Are you queer? Well then I’ve got the perfect survey for you!

Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national Norwegian research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer!

https://forms.gle/Tcoafs9dU627PNcn8

The survey is now closed! Thank you to everyone who participated!

Now, some of you might be thinking “Hey, I’ve seen this survey before.” And you’d be correct. I have a full explanation as to why here [https://at.tumblr.com/mariathechosen1/queer-participation-and-representation-in/i689fhq3b2vn], but the short explanation is that the original survey was meant for a much smaller sample size and after getting 8000 (!!!) answers on the past survey we decided we had to redo it in proper compliance with the GDPR. If you have any questions about this decision, or about the past survey, please read the FAQ post before contacting me or the project supervisor.

In contrary to the former survey, this research is specifically aimed at queer individuals who read and/or write fanfiction. Both people who answered and didn’t answer the last survey may answer this one.

Here are some reasons to participate:

Every Friday I do a snippet. This is next Friday’s choice!

Last Friday’s Winner!

A Doomed Company of Squires

The dust choked her in the aftermath of the hail of ice and stone, cobweb-threads of grass tangling in her eyelashes.

Ezrah raised her hand as if she could bat away the remains of a mountain by will alone, blinking away the emerald aftershock of her master’s spell.

The sun had returned, and the monsters were dead.

But, as her vision sharpened and she pushed herself up on shaking limbs, Ezrah saw that the last screamed warning from her fellow squire had been terribly, horrible prophetic.

“It ’s too unstable!”

Nobody had moved, but she was now alone.

[bilightningwhumper]

Remade the poll, again, again, lol. Realized at the end of my work shift I'd forgotten to mention important things only I as the author knows and should be weighed in with the voting.

Bucky believes Becca is dead, whether or not he remembers her existence or not (he doesn't know the twins or Jamie exist at all); debating a change to have him witness her "death" instead of just taking HYDRA's word for it before brainwashing

Any reunions/first meetings that happen will be months after everyone is brought back from the Blip/Snap

So with that info (and more under the poll if any need reminding), here's the poll again, with more options! **As a reminder, this is just to gather info, not necessarily what will happen. It at least gives me an idea of what might go well and/or what I could do for other fics/stories in future.**

Relevant links from the masterlist (and copied pasted bits under links):

Timeline of Past Events (current, subject to change)

OC list (subject to change)

Becca Barnes- Birthday: August 15th, 1997 (26 at start of story); Omega (late bloomer); daughter of Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers; autistic with OCD tendencies; love interest is her fiance who is also an OC; mutated to have wings

From Timeline:

1997-

Bucky escapes after a mission, realizing he’s in the late stages of pregnancy and wants to protect his child from HYDRA

Becca is born August 15th, 1997

2004-

Bucky captured again by HYDRA with Becca

Brainwashed to forget her after being told she’d died

Mariya Ivanov is put in charge of Becca’s upbringing, as she’s already in charge of monitoring Jamie’s health in cryofreeze

scientific poll for writers & readers

i like it when it’s the love interest who falls first and the main character is completely oblivious & thinks the other hates them, or thinks the other is ridiculous and/or out of their league. but i’d be curious to hear your thoughts?? thanks for sharing <3
