Presenting: The Slashers Survey (a day late cause I forgot to post this here yesterday)

[bubosquared]

The Slashers Survey is a 76-question survey trying to collect information about slashers, and giving slashers an excuse to talk about themselves, why they read/write, and all things slash.

Part of the idea behind the survey is to collect some hard data on the slash "community". Average age, average "fannish" age, whether they also write gen and/or het, etc. Often, in discussions, a subject comes up that really requires some actual statistics on slash fandom to be discussed in anything but a hypothetical sense. Hopefully, this survey will provide at least somewhat accurate data on slash fandom.

The collected date will of course be collated into stats, graphs, and spreadsheets, and all individual entries will be published on the site.

I think some people don't want to admit to who they are, for fear of other slashers' opinions about different fandoms, or someone finding out your sexuality, etc.

The fandoms thing I sorta get, but I'd think that the slash world is the one place where sexuality is a non-issue. Then again, considering the fact that there are girls/women pretending to be men in the slash world, I shouldn't be surprised.
