Intergenerational Fandom Survey :)

Hello, sorry to come and bother your forum, but I've got a little survey going relating to fandom and generational differences in fandom. Star Trek is an older fandom (and one that I enjoy!) so I figured it was a good idea to pop on a ST forum and share the surveys. Thanks in advance to anyone who fills it out!

"The Fannish Drift Survey seeks to gather data from fans of various age and time in fandom to help define fandom words. If the definition of certain words has changed over time, or is seen differently among different fans, then this survey will hopefully make that clear. There are two identical forms, each covering two generations.

The information you provide will be compiled and later made public, so do not complete the form if that makes you uncomfortable. No personal identifying information will be collected, such as name or email. Please share the forms with your friends and make sure you take the one that relates to your age group!


Birth Year 1981 - 2020

Birth Year 1943 - 1980

For more information on “fannish drift,”
you can check out the Fanlore article on it."
 
OK, I have to say this survey is a disaster. The page of sites says “select all” but only allows one. The next page lists many obscure media types at which point i simply X’d out and said forget it. Sorry.

I think that was an error in creating the form. On the 1981-2020 survey, those are working multiple-choice checkboxes.

This issue has since been fixed. There are only 4 responses from the 1943-1980's version of the survey compared to the 116 of the other, so if anyone of this birth range has yet to take it please do. Thanks.
