To participate, you should have a working webcam and agree to keep it on for the entire duration of the interview. Interview recordings will be destroyed promptly after the research paper is finalized.

Help a Researcher

Leigh Ingram, a student at the University of Ottawa, in Canada, is completing a Master of Information Studies. The proposed research for their thesis is on information seeking behaviours in the fanfiction community, with a specific focus on how AO3 users search through the archive and use the embedded search functions on the website.

This study has received ethics approval for an anonymous online survey, followed by a few interviews. The survey will remain open for approximately 6-8 weeks depending on the volume of response. Following completion of the research, the intention is to share the anonymous data collected and potentially submit an article to Transformative Works and Cultures for consideration, so any findings will be shared with OTW/AO3. 

Survey takers must be 18 or older to take part. If you would like to learn more about the study you can review its consent form, which contains the researcher's contact information.

My first time drawing RoBul!! 🇷🇴🇧🇬 I've been wanting to draw them with those loooooong bottles 👀

I drew APH Romania with Țuică de Prune, a traditional spirit made of plum. While APH Bulgaria is with muscat grape Rakia or fruit brandy (based on Burgas 63 brand)🍇

if you google "what is it called when" and the first letter of a beatle, autocomplete writes you a little poem about their apocalyptic destiny.

(I'm sorry, but "rats get stuck together, reality feels like a dream, rocks fall down a mountain" has more emotional comprehension of the beatles story than many nine hundred page biographies.)

study participants needed!

UPDATE: thank you everyone that's taken part :) the study has now closed, we got over 200 participants!! thank you so much

Hi, I'm a second year psychology student doing research on how queer people view others within the LGBTQ+ community.

Its just a short task and survey that should take 5-10minutes to complete, any participation is appreciated! Thank you!

Extra clarrification on some things under the cut :)

In this study we use the words "(gender) conforming" to mean anyone thats not part of the LGBTQ+ community and "(gender)non-conforming" for anyone that is. This was suggested to help us code the results better, but we now know that this may have overcomplicated things.

The first part of the study involves an IAT, for some people they will be put into the "positive, conforming" conditioin first and others will be the "positive, nonconforming" first. It may seem scewed, and some people have bought up that it can seem bias, but that is just how this type of test works- it has been used and tested in many other studies and has not shown internal bias.

These are the main two points people have bought up, feel free to ask any other questions about this research though I will be happy to try and answer as much as I can :)

Howdy. I know you probably have upwards of like 20k asks or some absurd number like that, but I have a question. My college comp 2 teacher always has philosophical prompts for our essays and the topic for this one is "What does it mean to be a good person? what makes a good person good?" and obviously I'm writing the most commonly listed stuff like open-mindedness and honesty and all that jazz. But all the articles I've read heavily point out Empathy, so wanted to write a paragraph going against that. I'm trying to talk about how having empathy doesn't automatically make you a good person, and that people with low/no empathy are not evil and can in fact be very good people. I'm asking for your thoughts on this because I think you're one of those people (you're also much better with words than I am).

hmmm i'd probably say something about how empathy is not interchangable with goodness, nor is it ontologically good, because empathy alone is just a tool, and tools have no inherent moral or ethical value, it's how we use them that does. you can feel empathy for someone and choose to do absolutely nothing with that empathy. empathy without the choice to show compassion, you can argue, hardly contributes towards a good life for anyone, even the empathetic person. and you do not need to feel empathy to choose to show compassion. i would highlight philosophical arguments which place emphasis on the importance of action/outcome over intention to support your point (although make sure to acknowledge possible counter-arguments).
