pop_tartsin the event that someone might have actually (*gasp*) done this quasi-academic survey before and I simply can't remember where, does anyone know where articles/results of polls/the like can be found on:
-- the percentage of queer identified people in various fandoms, in particular this wacky fandom we call popslash?
-- barring that, the percentage of people who consider themselves more in tune/sensitive to issues of sexuality and queer issues?
also, any and all pointers in regards to the study of that wacky thing we call fandom, as well as media studies and articles that relate to pop slash would be very very much appreciated. I mean, I know "textual poachers" (not that my school library has it in, because some bastard has taken it out already and I'm going to have to buy the book), but in regards to the actual research of the online fandom, and the RPF fandom in particular... yeah. any help would rock my world. I'd do you scenes in payment.
if you guys can't tell, this paper is probably all I'm going to be talking about for the next two months. you've been warned. I'll try to keep it brief, but continuous requests for help will probably come up. just sayin'.
anyone who wants to stick around just for the fic, feel free to bitch incessantly about my gratuitous posting and/or drop me mercilessly like the dull undergrad I am. now if only I can find a copy of "textual poachers" for my very own.
