A trade website, broadcastnewsroom.com, picked up the press release FanLib issued July 10th (I've been tracking the press release; it bombed).

It's mostly about the new The L Word contest, but Broadcastnewsroom.com put a slightly different spin on it, leading off with Ilene Chaiken of The L WordChaiken says of the contest, "I can't wait to see

I don't think they're marketing to us dykes; I think they're still aiming at the male 18-25 (or whatever it is) demographic.

Seriously.

Plus the contest is writing something out of Jenny's book?

Figures Ilene Chaiken would hook up with FanLib.

Yep. Bryson loves lesbiens!

Of course he does! It allows him to hit on more of the female forum members.

Too bad the Bryson birthday topic seems to have been removed (or moved). I'd love to see it.

LOL. Desperately!

I wonder if they've gotten the message that fanfiction draws a primarily female audience.

I did see that ff.net lists their male/female ratio as around 40/60, which is pretty high. I'm wondering how ff.net got those figures. If it's based on what people tell them when they sign up (it's been so long I don't recall what I was asked), well, when I'm asked a survey question for Yahoo! or some online form, I usually give them a fake name, say I'm male (I'm female), a birthdate that has nothing to do with my own, and a random career selected from their list. I usually pick something high tech. ;) They like that.

I would have done the same for ff.net.

A fan survey, now, those I answer honestly bcause I know how they're going to use the information.

I wonder if other people do the same.
