Hello!
I am a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. I am conducting scholarly research on the series Xena:Warrior Princess and its fans. I am looking for fans who would be interested in participating in a short phone or Skype interview in the next couple of days.
I'm also interested in interviewing fans at the upcoming Burbank convention, which I will be attending.
Currently, I'm especially looking for fans who watched the series while it was still on the air and who were active in any way in the online fandom during that time.
Though there is no payment for answering my questions, I hope you will agree to participate in this research. My work can help others better understand the importance of the series and its impact on fans.
If you'd be interested in chatting via phone or Skype in the next few days or would like to schedule an interview during the convention, please either reply here, message me, or email me at pennxenaresearch@gmail.com
Please also feel free to pass along my email address to anyone else you think may be interested in participating in the study.
Thanks!

Unless you desire to be inundated with unsolicited Spam, I would recommend removing your email address. I realize it's set up just for research but if it gets posted to a publicly viewable forum then Spammers can, and will, pass it around. It's much safer to request those interested contact you via Private Message and then you can give them the address. Or you could also talk to the PTB and ask where you can post that's hidden from the public. BTW, welcome to Whoosh. I'm sure the real residents will be along soon to welcome you as well.

I didn't really start posting to fan boards until Xena's last season. And I think most of the fans here didn't as well. There are other more active Xena boards here:

I agreed to do this many years ago for some online xena fan and gave all this personal information and never heard back from them ever again. Be safe!

i was at that xena convention, just now seeing this posting, though. hope you got what you needed. i know there were several people there who looked like they were doing research or were reporters of some kind. but i guess that's normal... don't know for sure since this was the only xen con i'd ever been to.

First I've seen, so it hasn't been shared here.
