Hi there guys! This account is just a throwaway so don’t mind the formalities :]

I’m an AP Research student, and my study is identifying types of reader-development that can be produced from reading reader-insert fanfiction. And just to clarify, "reader-insert as in the reader ("y/n") is placed into the story since this is more about fanfiction readers than writers.

If you’re between the ages of 16-25 and read reader-inserts on Archive of Our Own or Tumblr, it would really help me if you could fill out my survey! The link is at the bottom, and depending on how thorough you want to be about your answers, it may take 10-20 minutes (not all questions have to be answered). This is for a class so my survey went through an ethics review and every participant will have to sign a consent form. For underage participants (16-17), you’ll need parent/guardian consent and you’ll also have to fill out an assent for yourself.

Fanfiction has always been an interesting topic for me. While I don’t write fanfiction myself, I’ve been reading for several years and the idea of fanfiction itself and the community just fascinates me! I’ve read reader-insert fanfiction before and incorporating it into the subject self-awareness and development seems new to the fanfiction research community, so I aim to add on to the small (but growing!) list of works.

I’ll most likely be taking responses up until around mid-March, 2022. Please consider sharing or reblogging this, even if you can’t or don’t wish to participate yourself. I’d really appreciate any and all responses!!

If you have any questions or would like me to update you on the research please let me know!

Hey guys!

This year for my AP Research class, I’m investigating how fanfiction writers develop relationships with fictional characters and their own identities through fanfiction. 

If you’re an 18-25 year old who identifies as female, and you post fanfiction to Archive of Our Own, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out my survey (I’m sorry this is really specific, but it’s just the demographic scope of my study)! It’s linked down below, and it should take about 6-8 minutes to fill out. Since I’m doing this research for a class, the survey has gone through an ethics review at my school and includes a consent form. 

I’ll be taking responses through mid-March, 2019. Please consider reblogging/sharing this, even if you yourself don’t wish to participate. It would really help me out! Again, all responses are appreciated!

Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions or want to receive updates on this research!

The survey:

 Hello! This survey is for my AP research project, which focuses on preferences of the fanfiction community, and why people may have preferences. To give some background, I am a fanfiction reader and writer myself, and have been for many years. Fanfiction has always been a source of entertainment and comfort for me growing up, and I’ve always loved fanfiction for its authenticity and divergence. So for my project, I wanted to see if other people had felt the same way, or if they may have different feelings. 

This survey should take you 10-20 minutes, and not all questions need to be answered. As this survey is for my research class, it has already gone through an ethics review board. All responses are appreciated!

Even if you don’t wish to participate, please consider reblogging/sharing this post, I would really appreciate it, as it would help me out tremendously!
