Right, so here it is. Of course, any and all questions are optional, but it would be really helpful if you did provide your age, gender, and primary language. It is for my Gender and Language class, after all. :) Plus, comments will be screened, or you can send me your responses in a message if you'd prefer:

mangledpulse@livejournal.com

I've seperated the questions into "Writers" and "Readers," but you are obviously welcome to fill out both sections if you participate in both.

Thanks loads to anyone who actually fills this out!
