Updates for those being interviewed.
11 years ago
Good morning!
This is just a minor update for those watching me. I won't be sending out official emails yet, but I thought it would be nice to have some activity on my page.
It is my hope to start scheduling all of you for interviews in late February. Interviews won't begin until May, due to the Uni timeline here at Aberystwyth. I will be presenting the pre-interview stages of my research in March at a conference in the National Library of Wales. Following the conference, I have a deadline for chapters, which I can proudly say are in their final proofreading stages now.
The Furry conventions are clustered fairly close together during the Summer. I have planned and scheduled for attendance with Welshfurs May Fur-meet, Confuzzled, Anthrocon, and Eurofurence. If you're attending these conventions and have an hour free let me know. I will do my best to schedule interviews at your first preference. For those of you that won't have the opportunity to sit down and talk with me in person I will be arranging Skype based interviews.
I would prefer that these interviews be done with recorded audio. Text based interviews are more difficult to do based on the relatively slow nature of questions and responses. I can also assure you that the interview recordings will never be heard by anyone other than myself and my supervisors Prof. Matt Hills and Dr. Kate Egan. Aberystwyth's data protection policy is thorough and aggressively enforced. All recordings will be destroyed after the data is gathered. Again, I'm legally obligated to protect your data and your privacy. I have way too much time and money invested into this project to let anything happen.
For those of you that have questions or concerns feel free to contact me at bns1 [AT] aber [DOT] AC [DOT] UK. I'm generally very quick to answer emails.
I'll be in touch soon!

I'm quite literally going to all of the cons... Well, the big ones anyway. I hope you get the chance to swing by! If only to get the chance to say hi in person.
