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 ;)

Your answers may be as brief or detailed as you like, just answer as honestly as possible! (I always have the time. No life.)
APPEAL: I fist saw Red Dwarf in grade nine on a band trip. And for two years i mistook it for farscape. (don't ask me how) and then I saw 'Parralel Universes' and there was dancing and singing and sex with onesself adn i was sold.
'REAL LIFE': Umm... the relationship I was in before the one I;m in now was very Rimmer/Lister-y. It was kinda scary. And yes, I quote it out of context All the Time.
COMMUNITY: I met and befriends my current girlfriend when we stated talking about our mutual interest in Red Dwarf. ^__^
CREATIVITY: I like fanfiction. Fanfiction is fun. It's a way for the fans to get hte characters to do what they want without taking over the show or anything. I am both an author and a reader. And I prefer slash, because het is so canon, and canon isn't as fun.
FAN CULTURE: I am a convention going fan, but i don't collect action figures or cards or anything. I mean, if i could find it and afford it I'd buy it, but I don't hunt it down. As for other fandoms, such as Trekkies. Well.. I'm a trekkie too. ^__^;; So I love Trekkies.
