Message from @hashleytag
Hello!
My name is Ashley, and I’m a Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I’m reaching out because I’m evaluating a program, called Recognize & Resist, for One Direction fanfiction writers.
Recognize & Resist is a four-chapter “course” that takes a closer look at how romantic relationships and sex are portrayed in One Direction fanfiction and explores how writers can use their fanfiction to help create a positive influence in the 1D fan community on Wattpad.
I’m looking for One Direction fanfiction writers who are at least 15 years old to read Recognize & Resist and give their feedback to help me improve the program. Would you be interested in participating in this research?
This is a research study. In order to participate in this study, you must be above the age of 15, and you must be actively in the process of writing a One Direction fanfiction story.
I have been in contact with Wattpad and have their approval to conduct this study. If you would like to verify this, please contact tom@wattpad.com
To participate in this study, you would read Recognize & Resist (estimated reading time: 1.5 to 2 hours), complete a brief survey (about 5 minutes) and participate in a one hour interview or focus group. As a thank you for your time, you will receive $50 for participating in this study.
Please respond to this message if you are interested in participating in this study, or if you have any questions about this study. You can also reach me by email at amhedri@live.unc.edu.
Thanks,
Ashley Hedrick
