The following is for my really good friend

She super needs help with a research survey! This survey is for all female Yaoi fans over the age of 18. If you're in that category, carry on and please read the rest.
~*~
If you are a fan of yaoi or boys love, attend conventions or other events, and participate in cosplay/cross-play, Id love to have your help answering an online survey for my undergraduate research project. Im a student at Mills College, doing my senior thesis on women in the Boys Love community. My thesis is called A Qualitative Comparison of Lesbian and Heterosexual Female Cross-Players within the Boys Love Community. Through my research Im looking to understand the role sexual orientation may or may not play in how women involve themselves in boys love and cross-play.
To participate, you must be a woman over the age of 18, live in the United States or Canada, and identify as either lesbian or heterosexual. (I dont mean to exclude women of other orientationsmy research just depends on these classifications.)
If you are interested, please follow the link below fill out a survey. There are a total of 25 questions and it should take between 20-30 minutes to finish. A complete description of your participation and the project goals are on the first page, along with my contact information. If you decide not to finish, you may close the survey at any time without saving your answers. I only ask that you dont take it more than once. I'm accepting answers until November 30th.
