Request: Help me realize my dream of writing a dissertation on fandom!

[shellbelle]

Hi everyone! I’m a PhD student writing my dissertation on fandom (really, how freaking awesome is that?). I’m studying second language acquisition, and I’m interested in fans whose first language isn’t English. I think you guys are indescribably awesome, and I want to know more about how you got into English-speaking fandoms and how it affected your English learning/use. I'm posting here because, well, I adore podfic and it's so often unrecognized as a fan practice. I really want to bring some of these lesser-known (in academic circles, at least) activities to light!

All you’d need to do is fill out this super quick, completely anonymous survey. There’s a consent form with more information on the first page, and you can email me at vonie@email.arizona.edu for more information. Thank you so much to anyone who does the survey, I love all of you more than I can say, you’re seriously making my dream come true.
