Subject: Old fan survey on Vachon's Library...?
Once upon a time, there was an old survey on the Vachon's Library website.
The person who ran it was asking fan fiction readers/writers all sorts of
questions: how often they read/wrote, why they wrote, whether they ever
sent feedback, and so on. The survey seems to have been run in 2000.
If memories need sparking, you can see the questionnaire on the Wayback
Machine (

and also the results (

.
Apparently 714 people filled out the survey!
Now someone (no, not me!) has started a page for this survey on Fanlore Wiki
(http://fanlore.org/wiki/Vachon%27s_Library_2000_Fan_Fiction_Survey ). They
seem to think that the survey may have been run to gauge interest in
closing/reopening the archive of Vaquera fan fiction. At any rate, they
quote a couple of posts from V-Loop in February 2000.
I was wondering if anyone here remembers the survey? Or who ran it? Or can
add anything?
