| It was one of you, wasn't it?! |
(EDIT: Because 3,000 of you have already given us feedback in various combinations of civility, insight, and shrieking, we will be closing the survey at 5:00 PM blog time. Please don't delay taking it if you have things to tell us!)
Nostalgia's a funny thing. The only reason I got into the pony fandom was because I enjoyed the fanfiction I found after I'd exhausted all of the episodes from Season 1. Things were a lot different for fics back then, and I've been around to see a lot change since those halcyon days of 2011 -- I mean, yore.
I'm sure you guys have things to say about the current state of affairs regarding fanfiction on Equestria Daily. If you do, this is your time to speak up. Even if you mash the "No-Fanfiction" button on the sidebar there every time you visit this site, we've prepared some questions for you guys that'd really help us with understanding how to handle fanfiction here from this point on.
Fair warning: this survey is meant to be in-depth. In particular, we want to know how EQD presents fanfiction from a reader's perspective, and from an author's perspective, and we're also proposing a change or two to the pre-reading process here as well. Plan on taking 30 minutes to fill it out all the way, but most of the questions within are optional if you're pressed for time, have no strong opinions one way or the other, or honestly don't know.
I know I'm asking a lot from you guys, but it would really mean a lot to the pre-readers, the blogponies, and myself if you guys helped us out here. We can fix problems better if we know what to look for!
