Hey, fellow TMNT fans! I need some help!!
Alright, so I've got a class called Media Fandoms and Transformative Works, wherein I have chosen to examine the change in the TMNT series and fandom over time for my big class project. I thought that a really good way to get a good idea of what I'm looking at would be to ask my fellow fandommates to help me out :).
So, here are my questions for you below. You can send them in as asks (anon or no) to my mailbox or reblog, whichever works best for you. Info is still info :). Also, if it's not too much trouble, I would like to ask for (clean) reblogs, just to keep spreading the word around.
(If you're not comfortable telling me your age/gender/whatever else, you don't have to tell me, I'm not going to make you--I'm just asking to get a general idea of what kinds of thoughts are coming from who. If it makes it better, you could send me that information to my askbox and reblog the rest, but again, it's totally up to you!)
What is your current age? (Could also respond with a range rather than an exact answer...idk, now I'm begging XD)
What is your gender? (If there's a complex answer, please respond with clarifications as needed)
How old were you when you became a fan of TMNT?
Which series were you first a fan of?
What series/incarnation(s) are you a fan of?
What introduced you to this/these series?
What is it that you like about them?
Is there anything you dislike about these series, and what?
Do you know many other fans personally? Of them, are there significantly more of one gender than the other, or significantly more who are either younger or older than you, or are they equal?
Do you participate in creating TMNT fanart/fanfiction? Do you own a roleplay/askblog?
Do you look at/read TMNT fanart/fanfiction? Are you involved otherwise with roleplay/askblogs?
Is there anything else you feel is important for me to note?
"Series," by the way, refers to any canon TMNT piece--from the comics to the movies to the cartoons. Anything under the TMNT license.
One last thing, this is not limited to tumblr users. If you have a friend or family member who doesn't have a tumblr but would like to participate, feel free to send me another ask/reblog again/whatever (but clarify that it's another person first ;) )
Thank you so much for your help, in advance! Just ask me if you have any questions. If anyone's interested, maybe I can talk a little bit about the results as well :).
[This survey will be over by December 4, 2014--if it's past that date, you're a bit late, sorry!!]
