completed survey on twitter, @basicallyesme

This survey is for all Loveline listeners of any kind, any era, even

the occasional listener who just really liked the show but just didn’t

listen very consistently.

I’m looking for patterns and similarities as well as differences in

the listener community. Though respondents to this survey are going to

be a much smaller group than what was probably possible when it was

when Loveline was still in the format we remember of 5 nights a week

on terrestrial radio, I still think it’ll be interesting to see what

patterns and surprises arise. I’m that hoping within a year I can have

enough data to see some kind of something, which I’ll update on my

Tumblr. But after a year I will continue to take surveys as long as

people are willing to answer, for as many years as there’s interest.

Though I will not share stories or details unless specifically given

permission, if you wish to remain anonymous but still want to answer

you’re going to have to start an anonymous email or twitter account to

answer from (if I dont follow right away tweet me to let me know

you’re not a spammer and just trying to answer the survey). I might

have questions I would like elaboration or clarification on and may

want to ask for permission to use stories, so PLEASE do not close your

anonymous reply account right after completeing and returning the

survey, I’ll let you know when I’ve read your answers and if I have

more questions or not.

Heres the really fun part: I’m looking for fans to interview over

Skype for an upcoming fan podcast. I can’t say exactly when that will

go online just yet, because I want a bit of backlogged episodes and

just started the first interviews, but it will definitely be linked to

this my Tumblr account and shared on my twitter account as well as on

reddit. If you are interested in being interviewed please specify at

the top of your reply email.

Thanks a million in advance, take your time, please forgive the

longwindedness and say as little or as much as you want.

But if your fingers get tired and you’re planning on being interviewed

just mark answers with an ansterisk (*) at the end if you’d like to

elaborate on that topic over Skype.

Thank You
