A Very Supernatural Survey

Hello there! 

This is a fan run survey for Supernatural and its fandom - the wonderful #SPNFamily.

The aim of the survey is just to have a bit of fun and see what people’s favourite bits of the show/fandom are. 

If enough results are gathered to make reasonable conclusions from each of the questions, the results will be presented to Jared, Jensen and Misha in a book. The results will also be made available for fans to view on Tumblr and Twitter. 

THE SURVEY IS NOW LIVE!

To take part just follow the following instructions:

REBLOG THIS POST! (It will increase the responses).

Encourage your friends to complete it too! 

Please remember this is for fun and not a competition etc. 

Consider following this blog to be updated with results etc.

Firstly, I want to apologise for the complete lack of updates. The holidays happened and then work/life has been up and down so I’ve neglected the survey a little. Hopefully things will settle a little bit and I’ll be able to focus again on the survey.

The main update is that we’ve smashed my original target of 1,000 responses with a current total of 3,042!

Considering I’ve been completely lacking on promoting it, I’m so over the moon with this number!

Going forward, I have a few plans to further promote the survey including an instagram page (because there is A LOT of active Supernatural fans on there), and perhaps a giveaway of sorts (dependent on my income, which is a little rocky at the moment).

The survey will remain up until conventions start again (whenever that may be...).

Hi! Thank you for your message.

Yes, there are updates! I’m going to post a proper update tomorrow.

I’m sorry I haven’t been very active on here for a while. It was Christmas and then life has been up in the air again because we’ve been put into lockdown again in the UK.

Hi friends!

Just writing a post to say thank you so much to everyone who has taken part in the survey. It has done better than I could have ever hoped in less than a week.

I also wanted to post a screenshot of how I receive notification of new entries for complete transparency on anonymity.

This is how it looks to me:

I have no way of identifying who gave what answers at all.

I am able to click each ID and see the answers of individual surveys but I can’t see the overall results until I close the survey, which won’t be for a while yet. I’m not going through each completed survey either because there’s no point yet and it would take too long.

And again, as stated in the survey, I am not sharing any official results with anyone until they are posed to the public.

Hi!

That’s a good observation and one that I completely missed when I created the options.

All I can offer as an explanation is that I mainly had Dean, Sam and Castiel in mind when creating the options (except John/Mary of course) hence why there is also no Bobby/Karen for example. I didn’t purposefully leave out any LGBTQ pairings. Perhaps it was remiss of me to make the question general and then give limited options. I apologise for that. I am human and the only one running this survey so there might be a few mistakes and things I could have done differently.

However, I will say that I did add the ‘Other’ option on many of the questions in the event that the answer you wanted to choose wasn’t there. This gives you a little more freedom. With a survey of this nature it is difficult to have endless options because it will make it very difficult to display the results. By including limited options and then an ‘Other’ I can display the results clearly. When it comes to the ‘Other’ responses given, I will include every submitted answer and how many people submitted it with the final results. (Eg. I have seen a couple responses already where people have written Destiel into the canon category so I will include them and enter how many people did the same.) I intend to make everyone’s voice heard if they participate in this survey.

I understand if this puts you off completing the survey but I hope you can accept my apology and consider taking part.

Hi!

I understand people’s feelings of uncertainty but I can say with absolute honesty that this survey is just to look at the show and fandom as a whole. I have no personal agenda behind this other than just seeing what is/was most popular with fans.

When I post the results to the survey I will encourage and ask people not to use the results as any firm conclusion about what every Supernatural fan thinks or feels. I hope people will respect that and not use it as some leverage over other fans.

I created this survey to bring positivity to a show/fandom that we’ve all loved at some point.

It’s upsetting that I’ve had a few negative responses from people (some even assuming that I have some ulterior agenda to this).

But I do understand that not everyone has had a positive experience in the fandom or with the show and their feelings are still valid too. I just wish some people were a little more polite/understanding about their opinions.
