**Anyone want to do a 5-min survey to help out an exhausted gay academic?**
          
          @pixelmum's friend Gaurav is doing a Masters in Communications over in India, and he is doing a short study on readers of diverse literature on Wattpad as part of a larger thesis on the Indian queer experience. No need to be queer! If you’re straight and simply enjoy reading queer representation in books, then please do take 4-5 minutes to complete this confidential survey. Gaurav is interested in how many survey respondents read queer books, and whether they have come across any with Indian characters in. 
          
          LINK TO SURVEY: 
          
          https://forms.office.com/r/AZLjfupUjt 
          
          This survey is primarily for Indian Wattpad users, but Gaurav really wants to have data from non-Indians to compare trends within India to those from the broader International LGBTQ+ Community. As you might know, India has very visible queer communities, but Indian society still does not have equality for LGBTQ+ people (e.g. same-sex marriage has been blocked by the Supreme Court despite most Indians wanting it), so access to international books with queer representation normalises LGBTQ+ people, for both queer and straight readers. 
          
          NOTE: you will have to state your gender and sexual identity, and you will have to give your Wattpad name, but this data will be used by Gaurav only to do his research. You can withdraw your consent at any point during or after the survey is submitted. Thanks so much for helping out! 
          
          The survey closes on 1 Nov 2024, so you have one month. I’ll post a reminder or two. Thanks a lot!

Finding a perfect partner is impossible; real love embraces the complexities and imperfections of a relationship. Yet, what happens when the ideal man helps you escape a raging fire and hides you in his beautiful beach home? How long will it take until our protagonist, Zeph, sees the cracks of the ideal masks he placed on Will, a man struggling with his past and demons? I must say the love story between Zeph and Will goes beyond that. It is about music, healing, losses, and compromises to keep the ones you love safe and happy. It also has a great villain. I highly recommend reading The Sigma Asset by @pixelmum https://www.wattpad.com/story/248855703-the-sigma-asset-%F0%9F%8F%B3%EF%B8%8F%E2%80%8D%F0%9F%8C%88-bxb-%E2%95%91ambys-winner-2022
