mod post: survey about non-con and consent issues in fic

[hoodietime.livejournal.com]

We have been approached by j_plash about her survey, and thought it's a project worth bringing to your attention. In her words, this is what her research is all about:

"How do you read noncon and consent issues in fic?

I'm currently researching the complex ways in which writers and readers talk about rape and issues of consent in non-commercial (not for money) fiction online. This includes fan fiction (all the way from drabbles to epics) as well as 'original' fiction published on sites like AO3, fictionpress or LJ.

I'm a postgrad researcher at the University of Queensland in Australia, where this project has been approved by a high level ethics committee. I am also a long time member of fandom and ficdom. I don't want to write only about my perspective, though--I'm hoping to draw on the perspectives of a whole lot of fic readers. If you're willing to help out by completing a questionnaire on your fic-reading experiences, please follow the link:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/consent-in-fic

This link wil be open for six weeks, so don't worry if you don't have time right now! It's a pretty versatile questionnaire--you can skip anything, tell me loads, or just pick multiple choice. That means you can take as much or as little time as you like. Answering every question in a short answer/multiple choice way will take roughly 15mins--but it's up to you if you'd like to spend less or more time!

Please consider adding your voice; your contribution is very much appreciated. Thank you!

For more information, feel free to contact me at jemima.cowderoy@uqconnect.edu.au or come visit on LJ or DW (J-Plash) or AO3 (JPlash)."

Except for the part where I can't get #4 of this @$*@)(%*@)( thing to work. XD Have you taken it/did you figure out the appropriate response?

Listing only 1-5 didn't let me past, numbering them ALL didn't let me past... I'd skip it but I think it's an important question! XD

[geckoholic]

I took it, and I had no problems? You mean question #4? I put the numbers 1 through 5 into the fields where I wanted them and it worked.

Sigghhhhh I think Surveymonkey must just hate me, then. XD I tried that first but it kept insisting that I didn't fill it out right. D:

[geckoholic]

Oy, technology. :/

Argh, sorry it didn't work! I'll go have a poke at it and check it's running okay. It checks that question by adding up the numbers you put in and error-ing you if they don't add up to 15 (5+4+3+2+1), so possibly its math has gone wonky :S I'll have a look :D

Thanks for doing the survey, though! (and again for posting it :D)

Awesome. The results of this research should be pretty interesting.
