Hi! I’m a student writing a research paper on the prevalence of queer couples and lgbtq+ representation in fanfiction and need participants for my survey. This project will be entered in a national (Very prestigious) research competition and will be judged by an academic jury. The more answers I get on this survey, the more accurate my research will be, so I’d really appreciate it if you would take the time to answer!
https://forms.gle/8sae8vzQRERAzYiX8
Here are some reasons to partcicipate:
Science and stuff
Force a highly prestigious academic jury to read more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction
Better my chances of winning real-life money by writing more than 20 pages about gay fanfiction
Help expand a largely ignored academic field (fandom studies)
It’ll only take like 8 minutes (5 minutes if you’re quick)
Uhhmmm…
Please?
The only requirement is that you have some sort of experience with fanfiction or fan works (Whether that be writing or reading). You do not have to be queer to participate and all answers are completely anonymous
Reblogs are appreciated!
I need more
“Will you wear my jersey tomorrow?” James asked, abruptly stopping in the middle of the corridor.
Regulus froze in his tracks, scrunching up his face in an attempt to restrain the ridiculous smile he knew was threatening to spill over. With a deep breath, and a face at least two shades darker than before, Regulus turned around.
“It’s alright if you don’t want to!” James quickly said. “I know there’s a lot of animosity between our houses, and I know people already treat you unfairly because we’re dating, so I completely understand if you don’t-“
“James.” Regulus stepped forward, standing on his tiptoes to press a quick kiss to James’ cheek. “I’d love to wear it.”

silly lil guy
These three really do dress like the average gay and/or trans friendgroup
Here’s an Idea: Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Neville are just James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter respectfully. (This is ignoring Peter betraying all of them and Sirius going to Azkaban)
Ron is James: both grew up in loving house holds with both parents.
Harry is Sirius: neither grew up in a good situation but ended up in one with friends, they both also ran away at some point.
Hermione is Remus: both where social outcasts for most of there lives and would have preferred a book over people for most of that time.
Neville is Peter: both started of cowardly and timid and grew a sense of belonging and confidence over time.
I'm just thinkin' about how Eda pushed Raine away because of the curse.
She was afraid to let them in. She was afraid to ask them for help, or share how she was feeling...she was scared to show the side of herself that was messy and dangerous and painful and (in her mind) unlovable.
But when she finally let Raine see who she actually was...
...this was their reaction.
...they love all of her. Including those messy and dangerous and painful parts.
