I am writing an essay on how Star Trek fandom has enhanced my life and I’d like to include a few comments from other fans. To that end I’ve set up a google form. It’s just five questions (2 multiple choice and 3 short answers) with space for additional comments. Please feel free to contact me here or by email (anika@manicpixiedust.com) if you have any questions.
My personal story is centered on Kathryn Janeway and Katrina Cornwell so I am especially looking for members of the Admiral’s Legion and/or the Captain’s Brigade (I just made that up) but everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. I will not be able to use all the comments in the essay, but I will publish every answer in a separate post here on tumblr.
Please feel free to share the link with your friends. Thank you!
radioactive-violet said: @pixiedane Hey, for the survey: What if it was two shows/movies that brought us into Star Trek? Should we just pick one and put the other in the comments?
Yes, that’s fine, or you can choose “other” and write them both in.
icecream-junkie said: @pixiedane In regards to the same question, are you looking for the show that brought us into fandom or just generally the show that introduced us to Trek?
Introduced you to Trek. But I’m using the answers anecdotally, not statistically so it’s okay if someone interprets the questions differently. And feel free to elaborate in comments.
loverskisslikedeath said: Hey for how we participate, is that currently, or in the past included as well?
Include anything you’ve done! It’s just to get an idea of who you are 🙂
