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!

Genuine fandom/conceptual question for you all, since this is something that always increases around Halloween:
Is being a vampire-fucker The Same as a monsterfucker?? Is there an aesthetic component to other-fucking á la Nietzsche's aesthetization of morals? Does the object of desire have to be grotesque in some way to count yourself as a monsterfucker or...??
Note: perhaps this is inspired by a debate the roommate and I are having. It's difficult when neither of us fall into either category, except in jest.
Anyways. Please reblog! I'm curious, in a Pandora's Box kind of way.
All this to say....

We decided to publish this survey a second time because, by accident, the first version only lasted for a day.
Please reblog for a bigger sample size!
If you'd like to share your answer in the comments/tags, feel free to use 🫠/💀/🦉 and so on. And comment/tag your degree!

Day 9/100 of Productivity
I keep swinging between feeling very on top of everything and feeling wildly unprepared. I'm sure the coffee jitters don't help.

With all the news about the sub going missing around the Titanic and OceanGate, I would like to state very clearly that the Titanic is considered an active graveyard/burial. There are likely still remains in the wreck (science side of Tumblr can explain). This is one of the reasons why pulling up artifacts is such a big deal and so rarely done. Engagement is carried out with so much respect and consideration for the victims and their descendants.
You don’t just decide I’ll pop over to this location of massive trauma and tragedy because it’s a popular culture icon I can brag about. This is not the frame of mind one should have when visiting a grave. Please recognize that for 1500 souls this was not where they wanted to rest, and is thus very different from visiting other famous graves (Oscar Wilde, Van Gogh, etc). And sure, maybe the Titanic seems like it would be more digestible as opposed to other thanotourist sites of human violence (ie Gettysburg, Auschwitz, Borden House). The fact that it was a natural disaster lessens the cognitive dissonance of it being of equal solemnity.
What OceanGate is doing with these tours is extremely offensive if not ethically unsound from my archaeological and anthropological position.
