Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, I posted looking for Xena fans who reside in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have now expanded my study to include internet-based interviews.
My name is Melissa Stanfill and I am a graduate student in Media and Cultural Studies at California State University, East Bay. I am currently seeking participants for a study of Xena fan culture. I am doing research on fans who have participated in internet activity around the show through such means as writing fan fiction, blogging, or discussion board postings in order to better understand fans’ experience of these activities. I have been fan of the show myself since it was first aired, and have been an avid reader of fan fiction for nearly as long; watching the culture develop has made me interested in researching it more formally!
If you volunteer to participate, you will take part in an email-based interview, with the possibility of follow-up interviews if you are willing. The interview(s) will focus on your participation in internet activity. Only I will have access to the data; it will be kept in a secure place. Your name will not be used in any transcription or report, and data that identify you will be disguised unless you specifically agree to be identified.
If you are interested, please email me at mstanfill [at] horizon.csueastbay.edu.
