@StandingLeaf Hey! We're still recovering from conference season and the holidays, but have made some good headway on our oral history site

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

#Afsam16 idea: Internet folk band w/ us, @heydomtartaglia, @lynneSmcneill, and @AndreaKitta called The Maymays & The Pepes #afsam15

[Nuncle HeyDom @heydomt]

In the words of Andrew Peck #DigitalTrendOfTheYear #afsam15

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

memeplex for word of the conference #digitaltrendoftheyear

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

@DICKDorson: they just mentioned fakelore at the digital folklore preservation panel. #digitaltrendoftheyear

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

Was that not just said??? @heydomtartaglia @lynneSmcneill

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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

[Lynne S McNeill, PhD @lynneSmcneill]

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

@Skyliting Thanks and sorry for the trouble!

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

@Skyliting I turned off all authentication requirements, but I've seen Google apps sometimes screw up with logins on different domains

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

@Skyliting Try this link directly. https://t.co/CV5jAuhrkH - also, try it in a private browsing / incognito window

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

@Skyliting can you provide a little more detail? Does the link not work, are you getting an error message, etc.?

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

But srsly, I bet this fandom has a few more surveys left in it. So maybe we can push it to 200 responses? survey: https://t.co/9IpCDVJbIP

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

@ManehattanMare thanks!

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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

[ResearchIsMagic @ResearchIsMagic]

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