apollaOK... so most of you will be aware that I've got to have 8000 words done for Sept 2nd all about music and stuff.
In the spirit of this, I would LOVE for you all to send this questionnaire back to me. I'd prefer you to email it to apolla@gmail.com (my profs will prefer email proof rather than LJ) but you can also reply here- I just really need the replies.
This isn't just a bit of fun, this is my MA. If you reply, you'll almost certainly end up mentioned in one of the articles. It doesn't matter where you live, how old you are, or even your gender- I'd like some male opinions as well. :D
So please, please, please, just take a bit of time out to fill it out. It's not difficult. I know it's asking for some personal information, but I certainly won't be spreading it round the fandom- this is a genuine project I have to do if I've a hope of getting an MA. I won't be tracking you down, I won't even mocking your first crushes- I promise.
So, please, please, please, just take some time, probably not more than 10 minutes, to fill the questionnaire out. I'd appreciate it like you wouldn't believe.
