Sociological research with fanfic writers

Hello everyone,

I’m a sociology major writing a thesis on hyperreality created by fanfics. For my thesis, I am conducting a field research study focused on fanfic writers and their relationship with both fandom and Story.

The interview involves a 60-minute chat. There will be no recordings, the camera is optional. We can do an audio-only chat. During the interview, I’d like to talk about fandom’s place in the fanfic writer’s life, fandom’s community effect, and mainly why you are writing fanfiction (and not an ‘original’ work for example). And finally, the writer’s perception of the characters.

I’m conducting interviews with writers who meet at least one of these criteria:

- writing fanfic for 5+ years, or

- 30 or more posted stories, or

- a cumulative 100k words or above.

I completely understand that anonymity is important in fandom, so I won’t ask for your real name or any identifying details. But what I do need during the interview is some general background information to help build a typology, like:

Family background: work, income level, education level

Personal: age, occupation, income level, education level, and country of residence

If you would be willing to help me with this project and be one of the interviewees, help me connect with other fanfic-writers or have any questions, please dm me or simply reblog :]

#i officially regret contributing to the ‘crowley was raphael’ meta#like hi hello if you don’t think everything about crowley’s arc is more meaningful because he’s Just Some Demon whose main claim to fame#is striking lucky on his first big field assignment#and yet who still chose to love humanity and rebel under threat of an eternity of torture and stand by an angel over and over#a two-bit demon who wound up ready to fight satan on an airstrip with a tire iron just to buy the humans there a little more time#then… idk what to tell you#good omens is about how it’s the choices you make and not the gang you belong to that matter#and about how it’s not gonna be the Chosen Ones with Special Destinies who are gonna save us#adam young was the Chosen One but he only saved the world because he had the chance to grow up as an ordinary boy and have free will#‘he’s not your dog! he’s his own dog!’#crowley isn’t special because he was secretly once the archangel of hearts and stars and kittens#crowley is special because he is CROWLEY#and because of who he chooses to be

Good Omens + favourite book scenes in the show.

Bonus: one scene they made even better in the show:

unacalatea

Good omens book: angels are sexless, unless they make an effort

Aziraphale and Crowley: literally constantly making an effort to learn to enjoy food like humans, sleep like humans, speak like humans; opening bookshops, leaving mugs of cocoa to go cold, keeping houseplants and driving nice cars. The literal result of supernatural beings that have made an effort to be part of Earth

aloneiswhatihavealoneprotectsme

a nice little detail 😇😈

Anathema: what's the occasion?

Aziraphale: it's our 6th anniversary

Anathema: you're together for 6 years? That's so sweet.

Aziraphale: no dear, it's the 6th millennial anniversary.
