#writing survey

[moremysteries]

Hey, I made a survey for the recent writing project I am working on. If you want, feel free to fill it out. The questions may feel a bit random at times, but I promise they are relevant. And may have something to do with kissable object head people.

Minors please do not interact

writing survey

as i sit here mulling over my long list of wips, ideas on the cusp of being wips, scattered plot concepts, and the miscellaneous shower/car thoughts that haunt me daily, i wanted to cap off the year by hearing from all of you.

i made a (very short, straightforward) google form survey to get a feel for what characters and series you want to see me write the most next year! responses are anonymous + private, and you don't need to be logged in :')

-> survey!

20 Questions: Writing Edition

@theskee tagged me for this and I can never resist answering questions about myselfmy writing. Let's gooooooooo

How many works do you have on AO3?

260, which goes all the way back to the first stuff I posted on my website in like… 1999 or so? We're talking when I was into comics fandom. (And obviously, those were not originally posted on AO3.)

What's your total ao3 word count?

1,393,595 - what a good pattern in that number, ha. I have so many extremely short fics.

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Waking the Moon - the first (in order of writing) of the FFXV omegaverse wolf fics. I'm still quite pleased with that one, even if I did start writing it out of spite.

In Between - the one and only LOTR fic I was ever inspired to write, a Legolas/Aragorn PWP that still gets kudos even though I'm very tired of it. It's fine, I guess.

The Strength of the Wolf - Another in the Werewolves of Lucis series. This was the only time I ever had enough motivation and inspiration to put out multiple fics as a series.

Tutelage - The one proper Ignis/Gladio fic I ever did, and I am still proud of that one, too. Even though Noctis makes a very outdated 'Etro' reference that shows how early this was written.

Perspective - Possibly my favorite Torchwood fic (Jack/Ianto, of course) and it makes me super happy that it's up here on the list. Threading bits of moments from all through the canon was fun, and I remember thinking of one additional scene and popping it in just after I posted the fic and being so pleased with it. (I think it's the Martha scene.)

What fandoms do you write for?

Right now, Dragon Age has 99% of my attention, but I'm still thinking about FFVII Remake (even if no ideas have come to me in months), and I still have a DMMd fic I want to finish (another to round out the actor AU).

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Fuck yeah. I used to know someone who got so many that he just didn't respond anymore, but I have never had that happy circumstance, and I want people to know how much their words are appreciated. Plus, it's led to friendships more than once, and I can't not respond if someone notices something special or goes into detail about a bit they liked.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmmm. I don't often write angsty endings, but holding on, letting go kinda qualifies, I think. I mean, most of what I write is smut, so…

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

God, there's a lot of them, I really can't pick. I did a super-classic Disneyesque happy ending with Spellbound, that was fun.

Do you get hate on fics?

Fortunately, not too much; there was one on an RPS fic that still stands out to me (even though it was hilarious), but I've had more weird and confusing comments than anything.

Do you write smut?

I would say I'm known for it.

Do you write crossovers?

Not often, since I find them hard to justify. I still like the Firefly/Torchwood one that had Mal and Captain Jack hooking up, though - Collision.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of, fingers crossed.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah, I had someone translate do you understand, do you feel the same, which was really surprising and nice.

Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Sort of, in that I've rewritten RP (with my partner's permission) into fics. I've never done proper cowriting, but maybe someday.

What's your all time favourite ship?

Ugh, there's so many and they're all so dear to me. Jack/Ianto, Promnis, obviously Kouao. Rookanis, right now. I love them all so much, I can't choose.

What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

UGH there are WIPs from my boyband slash days that still haunt me. (The Matrix one, the mage AU one…) I guess right now it's that DMMd one. It seems so far off now.

What are your writing strengths?

THIS IS HARD. SKEE WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS LOL. Uhh, I think I'm best at dialogue and interpersonal relationships, getting to the heart of scenes quickly (maybe too quickly sometimes). I like really getting in deep with vocabulary and trying to fit the wording just right for every sentence.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting and structure feel like my biggest issues. Only once or twice have I ever actually managed to write an outline and plan out what would happen in a fic… and then it got away from me, and half of it didn't happen because it would have just overwhelmed the fic, heh. And then I didn't write the other half. That was the last Werewolves fic, To Be Human After All.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I've never written more than one or two words of another language in dialogue or otherwise in a fic. I usually italicize them, or in the case of the one Firefly fic, I added a translation in the end notes (I think it was "hun dan" - asshole). Most of the time it's something that I think the readers would understand, like sensei in something based on Japanese media.

First fandom you wrote for?

Hmm, I think technically it was Star Wars, when I was very wee. The first stuff I remember writing (actually physically writing, in school notebooks) was for ElfQuest, in an epic full of OCs (my Mary Sue character was half-elf, half-human, named Bluesky -- the irony, I know). The first stuff I posted online was X-Men comics related.

Favourite fic you've ever written?

Good lord, how am I supposed to choose. Did I mention I have 260 fics posted? And that's not even all of them. But since I haven't mentioned them much, I'll say it's the first FFVII Remake fic I wrote, reach out your hand, featuring Cloud/Biggs.

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm gonna tag @lindira on this one! This was super fun, even if it did make me have to think too much, lol.

Fanfic help

If you've seen my last poll or the newest prologue that I've posted, you'll know that I'm writing a TMNT fanfic, and I need help deciding how it'll go/end.

[akesdraws-blog]

Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed, this is just a survey post.

For what reason? they will think (or maybe not)

The reason is simple.

I would like to know what type of content you would like to see more of.

I still have a couple more posts in queue but before they start to be published this question arose.

For those who enjoy my written content

I would like to know

Question I've been wanting to survey:

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

twst overblot boys survey

Over the years, I’ve noticed trends in behaviors and attitudes between fans of particular Twst characters and I’ve wanted to know if there was any evidence to back up these observations. In other words… Are individuals with certain traits more likely to gravitate to one Twst character (in this case, one of the overblot boys) over the others? And maybe if this survey is successful, I’ll ask the same of the rest of the cast—

And so I thought to collect this data, analyze the results, and share the final report with the public. This will be done with the help of a friend (Mod Jeido from twstgameplay) that was also curious about the topic. The analysis itself will be conducted using JMP, a statistical software.

If you’re interested too, then please fill out the following form and/or share it on socials. (I don’t have a Reddit or Tiktok and I’m not active on Twitter so I’s appreciate it a lot!!) The more responses collected, the stronger the conclusions we can make!

The form will close on July 15th, so please get your responses in before then!

[itisformythesis]

Please take this survey for my thesis!

What is this thesis?

I am a sociology student preparing to write my thesis for my masters degree, looking at Goffman's dramaturgical theory and applying it to fanfiction writers and their relationship with sharing their writing.

How can I help?

If you write fanfiction (or have in the past), fill out this survey! It's entirely anonymous.

If you don't, please reblog this post, or share the link! I need as many responses as I can get!

If you'd like to additionally help, I am also looking for interviews (via zoom unless you reside in my state and want to meet up irl), or if that's not your thing, an extended version of this survey with more written out answers, to explain nuances.

If you're curious in this process and would like to read it/view results at the end, follow this blog! I made it just for my thesis posts. Additionally, all questions can be answered through my email listed there, and also the ask box of this blog.

**if you are under the age of 18, unfortunately you can not participate due to the level of IRB approval I received. Please share it though!

[nocturnal-phantoms-fandoms]

I just had a talk with my thesis supervisor and I want to check something real quick.

I want to write my bachelor's thesis about fanficion and AI - specifically about fanfiction writers' attitude towards the use of generative AI in fandom spaces

The survey (and the rest of the thesis) is still v much in the making, I just want to check how many potential responders I could reach from this account

Pls reblog after voting

What I can say about the survey for now:

1. The survey will be anonymous!

2. The survey will be in English (but the rest of my thesis will not. I am however required to write an abstract in English)

3. My supervisor said it's fine if I want to focus on one fandom - In this case it will be the HP fandom. However I would like to include as many reposnes as I can, so it will probably not be a requirement to be in the HP fandom.

4. You don't need to write fanfiction to take part in the survey (but there will be a question if you read and/or write fanfics). You need to be in the fandom though

5. You need to be over 18 (most likely)

I want to keep myself anonymous as well so there is a possibility I will have to make a separate sideblog/account for it.

If anyone will be interested in the results, for some reason - I am required to write the abstract in English, so I might share the abstract. Maybe. More info after I write anything for my thesis.

survey for my research project

hey guys!

for ap research, my topic is about arts education in different cultures, as well as how people's environment impacts their views on the arts in the long run. i'm also conducting virtual interviews for anyone willing to volunteer (directions are in the survey)

here's the link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIQOn5K-mXzNyyPHQ_x2QW02TKhwu5ghqknYvsnBiek5WXaw/viewform

I love how Twilight takes Yor on dates every week and shit. His idea of a good husband is such a kind and caring man, which is insane because it's like the 60s men used to just rip chunks out of their wife's brain because she was too sad. He could get away with so much crap and just overall half assimg it, but nah, he is determined not to just be a good husband but the best husband. I don't even think it would matter to Donovan anyways he clearly doesn't care for his wife. Who taught him this?

[universallyfuntyphoon]

Were You a Teen on Tumblr in the 2010s? I want to hear from you!

Did you scroll past thinspo, reblog sad girls, post through the pain, and call it community?

Did the internet raise you—romanticize you—ruin you a little?

You’re not alone!

I’m collecting anonymous stories for a memoir-in-progress titled Tumblr Made Me Do It, a hybrid of personal narrative and cultural critique.

It explores how growing up on this platform shaped our bodies, our gender, our trauma, our sense of self—and what it means to come of age curated by an algorithm.

I’m looking to hear from people who meet ANY of the following criteria:

Were teenagers using Tumblr between around and during the 2010s.

Engaged with any of the following: fandom (any, kpop, anime, Supernatural, bands, etc), thinspo, self-harm tags, queer identity spaces, kink culture, soft grunge/pale blogs, sad girl culture, etc.

Have reflections on how Tumblr shaped (or warped) their adolescence

All responses are anonymous, and select quotes may be included in the final manuscript with care and consent.

If you want to contribute to this collective archive of survival, please fill out the survey here:

The internet tried to consume us. This is one way we take ourselves back.

Reblogs are deeply appreciated.

I'm doing grad student work in technical writing. I'm writing an essay about adjusting user manuals to match the reader's preferences.

Please share this poll around! This is secretly a poll about Kolb's Learning Styles. I've never seen a poll about Kolb's styles before, and I'm trying to see if there's an actual preference here.
