DEAR STRAIGHT PEEPS:  please don't feel discouraged from responding to this poll. i don't want evidence that people who like slash *aren't* straight, i just want evidence that they aren't *all* straight, as so many (now outdated) academic articles seem to suggest.  SO RESPOND ANYWAY OK!

it appears, in hindsight, that i ought to have included some more information with the straight/not-straight poll that i posted last night. I assumed people would just be able to select one and be done with it. i thought the simplicity would work better than a big explanation. maybe not.

( big explanation )

anyone wishing to use the results of the poll themselves are welcome to. i'll tidy up the post a bit so it looks a bit more presentable in references, heh. I'll also be eventually posting the essay i'm writing here, if you want to keep any eye out for it. my previous media studies writing can be found here.
