Howdy!
For those of you who didn't make it to Dragon*Con this year, you might not know that in addition to being the proprietress of Out To The Black Outfitters, I'm also a Doctoral student at the University of South Florida. (yeah, that makes me just a bit 'teched in th' head, according to the husband...) 
Even better? I study fandom, and I'm spending this year concentrating on Browncoats, since we're just a strong, yet young, fandom, we helped get a major motion picture made from a cancelled tv show, and we're incredibly varied and creative in what we do in fandom and how we do it. Therefore, I would like to invite you all to participate in my "Big Damn Fans" survey that is online right now.
I'm using this data to help support some ideas and research I have on where the relationships between fans and media producers are going in the future, and the economic clout that fans have, both in traditional consumer economies, and the underground "prosumer" (we make what we consume) economy.
Unfortunately, it took a while longer than I hoped to get this survey finalized, and I'm running up against some looming deadlines to get a presentation done. Therefore, I'm offering a little incentive for you all to participate! If you submit a finished survey by Midnight, Sat. Sept. 30, you'll be entered into a drawing for a Browncoat Revolutionary Cap from Out To The Black Outfitters! (Must submit a valid email address in the first page of the survey to qualify for the drawing.) Submissions made after that date are greatly appreciated, but will not qualify for the drawing.
Wanna help? Go to the link below:

If you signed the lists at D*C, you probably got a personal invite to participate. However, there were about 10 addresses that came back as undeliverable (probably couldn't read the writing), so please feel free to participate through this link.
Xie xie!

One survey done, Sue. Hope it helps! (My fandom participation is limited to posting in forums, reading the occasional fic, and going to events. I don't even own a Blue Sun teeshirt [though I should probably get going on that, hm?] )
Still, data's data! Vive la research...

Well, I've done it. Even though I spend more time lurking than actual participation. With a little luck we'll be doing our own shindinging over here on the East Coast. As it happens, the first thing I always do when I get on any computer is to check out the new images in the Blue Sun Room. You never know what's going to show up in there. Anyway, bump! Also, (not to hijack the thread or anything) does somebody want to take a sec and tell me what all this Forsaken business is about? I dunno if we already discussed it, but I'm at a loss.

Done. Gee, I wonder how many people stated that they were engaged in fan activities to convince 'Versal to make another film?

LOL! If they didn't, she better send us their address so that we can get the Reavers after them.

holy guacomole. took me 20 minutes. i wonder if you can use any of the surveys on serenitymovie.org and can't stop the signal? they have tech surveys and fan demographic surveys and stuff too, and fans are probably more likely to have found those over time than yours.
