To all READERS of fanfiction!
Perhaps you read
the questionnaire for authors I posted a few weeks ago. Two German students want to write their thesis about "Fanfiction and the psychology of the internet". Almost 500 fanfic-writers sent their filled-out survey (A Big THANK YOU!) and if you are a writer and haven't done so yet, there's still time.
But now I want to have a look at the opinions and experiences of fanfiction READERS. It would be very helpful if those of you who write fanfiction could fill out the following questionnaire. Please mail the completed form to:
jae_s1978@yahoo.de
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY FILLED OUT THE FANFIC-AUTHOR-QUESTIONNAIRE, YOU CAN FILL THIS ONE OUT, TOO, OF COURSE!
Complete anonymity is guaranteed!
If you belong to other fanfic-groups or mailing lists or know some other readers of fanfiction, please forward this questionnaire to them. Thank you very much for your help!
