Guess you do learn new things every day.
I had a bit of a problem with the 'social media platform' questions, given that I'm not very social and don't use social media that much. I ended up putting down 'PPC Posting Board'.
I'm doing a linguistics independent study on fandom, social media usage, and language shift, and I would love it if you guys could answer this super-quick survey for me!

And if your browser has an anti-redirect thing, you can find the direct link here here.
I'm especially interested in collecting data from people who don't use Tumblr as their primary social media platform, especially for fandom purposes. But everyone is welcome to take it. I look forward to your responses!
Good to see you back, however briefly. I'd say we should at some point try to finish/edit our number of old cowritten missions and actually post them, but it doesn't seem too high on either of our lists of priorities right this second, so we can leave that for another day. :)
It was an interesting survey to take, really. Funnily enough, it's only recently that I even learned this new fandom meaning for 'discourse'; just in time, I suppose. As for squick vs trigger...I hadn't quite made the connection that they were being used in the same way--they're certainly connected, now that I'm thinking about it, but do people really treat them as the same thing? I'd always viewed them as having different nuances: related, but certainly not identical. Hm.
Anyway. Good luck! Hope it goes well and is interesting to put together and write up.

PS: To anyone reading this who wants to know, the Purim RP will probably now appear after Pesach (aka Passover). So, after a couple more days. Of course, I might get it up tomorrow, but it seems unlikely at this point. It's still going to happen, though. ~Zing
Though I'm not sure how much help my answers would be, considering my current main fandom is building and painting and playing with overpriced plastic army men.
Or did you just want this community's responses?
—doctorlit, always double-checking
I'm examining especially people who are relatively new to fandom, as the age and experience caps on the demographics section indicate, in comparison to people who were at least there around the downfall of LJ as fandom hub. So yeah send it out! Just as a heads-up -- I will be closing the form Sunday at noon Eastern Standard Time because I've gotten an overwhelming response and I don't want to get overwhelmed with data you feel :'D
So yeah!
Also, do we get to see read the finished product, once it's been graded? I, at least, would find it interesting.
—doctorlit can feed on any kind of reading
(hahahah oh man so much pressure)
But yeah, I'll see what I can do once it's out and graded!
I'm interested to know, as well.
Hi,
I was partway through the quiz when I got distracted.
I came back and it was on the "Which ones?" page.
What does it mean by that?
'which social media platforms have you moved between' or something. Especially if it's at a text entry box.

Though, cosnidering I'm not a native speaker (I've never even heard the word "discourse" before, I'm afraid), my answers might not be really indicative...
Happy to help you. I hope I answered everything as well as I could!

I'll admit, I've not seen the term 'discourse' used for fandom before.
Also, since you're back on the Board (maybe), do you think we might get some more missions...? :)
But this is exactly the kind of thing I'm interested in, so hey!
And no, unfortunately not. I'm really having a good time enjoying goodfic in the Yuri on Ice fandom and I'd hate to touch badfic again lolol
And I'm somewhat surprised at myself for recognizing all those definitions.
