Tl;dr [new survey out](https://forms.gle/CEq5bsrZjNBY5K1QA) testing common tags in each category for fan fiction smut found on Archive of Our Own/AO3. 18+, all sections have opt outs, and the questions should be simpler and faster. Bisexuals are the biggest group in the surveys so far, and I’m excited to hear from y’all again :)
Hello again! I have a new survey, much simpler and faster this time; it should take no more than 10 minutes. I’ve also changed some question language and responses to hopefully make it more trans-friendly, and turned all the non-demographic questions into linear scales to reduce confusion.
The subject of this one is: tags. They drive hits, and different people are looking for different things! But they also come with tension and conflict. This survey takes ten common tags over the past 3 years in each category and tests them both in terms of likeliness to read, and likeliness to avoid. That’s all! The tags are based on the respective categories and are not necessarily common to the others, so it will hopefully be a better look at the tags people are often clicking in each.
As always, I appreciate all feedback and questions, and hope everyone has fun :). No contact info or data collected, 18+, I will come back with **general, topline** analysis of the results after N=100 and post more detailed analysis on my tumblr page.
