Hey everyone! It's been a minute but finally, finally, my dissertation is complete, and guess what? I scored the highest marks in my class! 90/100 (which is practically full marks in the social sciences. And I know I couldn't have done any of it without all 545 of you wonderful authors and readers who filled out the survey and of course, those who did the interviews ♥️✨.
          	
          	The results of the research are mind-blowing, by the way! So much so that the second my thesis defense ended, the panel unanimously asked me to make sure that the research was published. I am really looking forward to condensing my 108-page thesis (the requirement was 25 pages XD) into a 6-page research paper - god help me :').
          	
          	I am eager to put up sneak peeks of the results soon, but I am unsure whether that would be allowed. So, bear with me a little longer because I know all of you are eager to understand how Wattpad and the buzzing question of Representation are intertwined. There were some insights that literally blew my mind. For example, did you know that race actually plays a huge role when it comes to queer representation, even on an inclusive platform like Wattpad? There are secret, subversive biases everywhere!
          	
          	Anyway... thank you all so much once again and please stay tuned for the final paper ♥️✨

@Gauravaaditya i miss them too! Really, a horrible move on wattpad’s part! I’ve been good! I’m writing a new story, and I’m doing college courses but nothing terribly exciting! How are you? Have you been writing at all? (:

Found you on a message board. The profile pic is truly so adorable. Makes my day ✨ You seem sweet and an LGBTQ supporter? The best thing! ❤️❤️

@Gauravaaditya There's support but it's very limited compared to the population of the country. But still, hopefully people realize the beauty of just love one day ❤️

@Afrojarose15 true... But India is not that far ahead when it comes to queer acceptance but from the research I conducted, I know there's hope for all of South Asia ✨. There were so many progressive and supportive respondents from both Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. It was truly optimistic to see!
