Calling all the multilingual Band RPF writers! Have you ever wondered how English affects your writing?

Are you a multilingual writer who relies on fandom to improve their English? I want to hear your stories!

About the study:

This research is for a Master’s dissertation in Applied Multilingualism at the University of Galway. I am investigating how multilingual band RPF writers learn and improve their English through writing fanfiction. The goal of this research is to understand the impact of participatory culture of fandom has in your English writing.

Inclusion criteria:

You write band RPF.

English is NOT your native language.

You produce your band fanfictions in English.

You must be 18 years of age or older.

Note: Native English language speakers and those who learned English from birth or at home will be excluded from the research.

Further information:

Participation is voluntary! Your name and any identifying details will not be used in the research and they will not be shared with anyone.

You can choose your own pseudonym for the study, or opt for me to assign you a nickname.

The study will consist of two hour-long digital interviews.
