GUYS GUYS, IMPORTANT STUFF
Im writting a course paper about Knights of Guinevere and need to take an interview with people in this fandom
It would mean the world to me, if you could answer some questions!
1) How did you find out about the Knights of Guinevere?
2) How long have you been following this project (from the teaser, trailer, pilot or later)?
3) How would you rate your involvement in the community on a scale from 1 to 10? Why?
4) In what formats do you participate in life of this fandom (theorie discussions, commenting, fan art, cosplay, etc.)?
5) What is the most important thing for you in this community? What makes you want to go back here again and again?
6) If all the opportunity to communicate with other fans had disappeared right now, but the series itself would continue to be released, would you continue to watch it? Why?
7) And if the opposite were true — the series would be closed after the pilot, but the fandom remained and continued to discuss, draw, and come up with theories — would you stay in this community? Why?
8) Imagine that for some reason you stopped participating in life of this fandom. What would you miss most?
9) What interests you more: the animated series itself or what the fandom creates around it?
10) What other fan communities have you been in before (or are you in now)? How are they similar or different to the Knights of Guinevere?
11) If you think about your very first experience of participating in any fandom (not necessarily this one), what was more important to you then: the piece of media itself or the opportunity to find like-minded people?
12) Are there people in this fandom with whom you talk about topics other than Knights of Guinevere?
13) Have you ever defended a community or its members in front of someone who criticized or ridiculed it's fans? How did you do it?
14) Do you think fandom of the Knights of Guinevere helps you feel like you're part of something more than just watching a series? If so, how exactly does this manifest itself?
15) In your opinion, why people join fan communities in general?
16) If you met someone who had never been in any fandom, and you needed to explain what was valuable about it, what would you say?
17) Tell us a little about yourself: age, occupation (study/work), city. [Optional question, you don't have to answer if you're uncomfortable]
Thank you!!
