We released a survey last week asking the fanfic community of Equestria Daily about the job we're doing with the pony fandom's stories. The response was so overwhelming that we had to close it down twenty-four hours later. Now that more than a week has passed by, I'm sure that a lot of you want to know what the results look like.
Reflecting on this survey, there was always going to be a problem with selection bias. Encouraging participation from folks who don't spend time with fanfiction may not have been the best idea, and it only skewed some results more unduly than others. Therefore, I'm not going to post ALL the results we collected. I can, however, be pretty sure that there aren't 29 Hasbro staffers browsing this blog in "No-Fanfiction" mode for legal reasons, so there's that.
Nota bene! I'm only speaking as one pre-reader here. No matter how overwhelming the responses are on certain questions or how I feel about the matter, what I say here should
not be taken as a guarantee of action until the pre-readers have all come together and pow-wowed these matters out. Changes to the pre-reader system will be for a later post.
Hit the break for the breakdown, as well as one more question we should've asked on the survey!
