interaction btw ppl & institutions is complex. Top-down/bottom-up distinctions r hard. Bronies & Hasbro good ex here. #digitaltrendoftheyear


What are the benefits of referring to online folklore as hypermodern? #digitaltrendoftheyear


Sitting in on a great talk about digital folklore. Really enjoying the DFP and their goals #afsam15 #digitaltrendoftheyear

Bronies at #afsam15! Good discussion of self-ID of #bronies vs external perception of fandom.

But srsly, I bet this fandom has a few more surveys left in it. So maybe we can push it to 200 responses? survey: goo.gl/6YUpV6


We're currently at 112 responses. I'm so excited I could eat some peaches and cream!


Thanks for making the launch survey for our #Brony Narrative History Project a success so far!


@ManehattanMare Could you just direct the person to us? Whether or not they want to be involved is up to them.


heck, we'd like groups like "cloppers" to share their perspectives too (though we'd prolly ask to have public materials PG-13-ish)


e.g. whether you're a Christian brony feeling surrounded by libertines or one exploring gender&sexuality through the show, your view matters


..in fact, it's our goal to get as many perspectives as possible, even (perhaps especially) unpopular ones or those by ppl who feel left out


A few people have voiced concerns about whether our Brony Narrative History Project will be biased towards particular perspectives, but...


Similarly, if you know anyone who was once a #brony or considered themselves a member of the fandom but no longer does, can you hook us up?


If you once considered yourself a #brony and no longer do, or feel like you've fallen away from the fandom (for any reason), contact us plz!
