reddwarfslashEDIT 15/03/05 : I'm collecting in the results now, big thanks to everyone who responded!
(This is probably going to be *everywhere* so ignore if you've already answered elsewhere)
Hello there. I'm a undergraduate Media student writing a research paper on the internet and fanculture. I'm specifically looking at Red Dwarf fans * and how they interpret the programme.
Firstly, to have an idea of the fans in general, please give your....
age group (from list below):
- 13, 14-19, 20-25, 26-35, 36-45, 46-55, 56+
gender:
country:
Secondly, if you have the time, I'd also love to hear your general views on the following issues.The questions are to give some idea of what I'm interested to know, you don't have to answer each one. Your answers may be as brief or detailed as you like, just answer as honestly as possible!
APPEAL: How and when did you first discover Red Dwarf and what, in your opinion, do you think is the one main aspect that led to you becoming a fan? Characters, storylines, special effects?
'REAL LIFE': What bearing does RD have on your everyday life? Do you ever quote the show out of context? Can you relate to the characters?
COMMUNITY: Have you made friends purely through an interest in RD? Have you met online fans in real life? What is your favourite place to chat about the show, and which do you consider to be more superior, fansites or the official site?
CREATIVITY: What are your views on fanfiction? Are you an author/reader ? Which do you prefer, slash or het and why?
Do you run a RD fansite? Have you ever produced fan art, music videos, or anything else inspired by RD?
FAN CULTURE: To what extent do you think you are a fan? How far does your 'collection' go? Do you hunt down rare merchandise?
How do you think you are percieved as an RD fan, and how do you feel about this 'image'? What do you think of other sci-fi fandoms, such as Star Trek's 'Trekkies'?
Thanks for your time!
*Rimmer salute*
* because I'm a fan myself. In case anyone hadn't already noticed ;)

APPEAL: My dad's a sci-fi fan. In addition to things like Dr. Who, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Battlestar Galactica, and several series of Star Trek, he has all the episodes of Red Dwarf on tape. So we started watching it together, along with my brother. I love how it's not only well-developed and deep, but hilarious. Ah, British comedy.
REAL LIFE: We all randomly quote it at times, and can start into exchanges (someone will say "So what is it?" and I'll launch into the 'white hole' passage). Even my mom, who has never been a sci-fi person, can quote a few.
COMMUNITY: I only went looking for Red Dwarf info online a little while ago, and don't plan on really diving into the fandom; this is the only community I'm in.
CREATIVITY: Fanfiction is good, though I don't read or write RD fanfics (except a few LxR slash ones). As far as Red Dwarf is concerned, I prefer slash only because I ship Lister/Rimmer. (On the whole I prefer girl/girl relationships =P)
FAN CULTURE: Like I said, I'm not that far into the fandom. My dad has all the episodes on tape plus some of the outtake tapes, and I occasionally refer to it, but I don't think most people could tell you I'm a fan.
Hope this helps!
