Talk on my master thesis and ask for opinion xDD
Yo~~!
I haven't written in my personal LJ in a while right? Well usually I don't have much to talk about but today I feel like I have to release my thoughts and ask for opinion if anyone thinks of a better way or sth. What is this about? Haha my master thesis on fanfiction and communication circuit of books (Darnton)...
Well in March (yes long ago *cough*) I had presentation of disposition/plan in front of my mentor and two other lecturers and some classmates. My basic idea for practical/research part was to do a online survey at places I know that have fanfiction and rofl maybe also count on some people I know that are authors and/or readers. Then one lecturer stated it would be more interesting to do it in my country and not international... This brought a big problem to me who had it basically planned where and how etc. I want to do it. Well time went on, me thinking and haha I haven't seen my mentor since then (didn't even know why would I meet him if I had nothing planned...). Plus I was really stuck at the thought: how the hell will I find in my small country people who read and/or write fanfiction?? It's like: NO WAAAAY!!!
So slowly we came to July already and today a spark happened and I think I might have a solution xD.
1. I'll still stick to online survey but in my language.
2. Link to survey will be sent out to people I know per mail with basic infos and asking them to forward it to as many people as possible. (+ I think I'll post on FB as well)
3. Dunno this yet but survey might be up for a month (gotta consult mentor).
4. Targets won't be only authors and/or readers of fanfiction but ALL! All heard about fanfiction for sure if not cuz of Shades trilogy lately :P ( plus one of basic info will be definition for those who didn't know yet).
5. Changes that can appear between them can be either due to: age, gender, knowledge of what FF is, FF readers, FF writers (last two if there appear any XD)
Survey will be out of two parts:
1. Demographic data + those from point 5 up there
2. Survey in 6 slots (more consulting with mentor) basing on points of communication circuit of books (see pic below) with statements related to each slot. Statements will ask about their opinion on scale 1-5 or 1-7 not sure yet. Not sure yet how many statements per slot. xD
Eto that's all I have planned for now... haha any opinion? This is best option for me to keep survey structure as I planned for international one and to apply it to my country cuz here I have no idea where to spot writers/readers XDD
