setraThis is an academic anime/cosplay survey. Anyone on my flist is welcome to take this survey, but I especally want to ask:
Amanda (Hayami-san), Duo-san, Goku, Hakkai, Rurouni Gochan, Gojyo-Lumiale-sama, Kougaiji-sama and Sanzou-sama...
The Story:
I have a friend who is researching cosplay(ers) for her Anthropology class. She needs cosplayers and former cosplayers to take this survey, to help her write her paper.
(Also, people who are anime fans but not cosplayers, she'd love to hear from you too... just specify which category fits. ^_^)
A few notes:
The survey is pretty simple. Take any terms that you aren't sure on definitions of to mean what /you/ feel they should mean. The note says feel free to elaborate and explain... please do. ^_^
Please be biologically honest about age and gender (Yes, Duo, I'm looking at you. o_o).
Hakkai and Goku, seperate surveys if you please. ^_^
