I had several interations on online forums and got pretty severe backlash, which led me to reflect on whether my initial approach to stakeholders was useful for attracting audience and gaining feedback. No matter which genre it is catagorized in, stories and storytellers need to make their stories approachable and intriguing enough for audience participation.

Recalling our unit 1 activity: Narrative, Myth and Belief, our group created a ghost that haunted the students of CSM and consumed their luck for food. The process of creating this project was stressful but fun, and we managed to make everybody in class knock on pieces of wood to get their luck back.

It proved to be a very approachable story, mostly because we threatened to steal everybody’s luck of getting a good grade…and that hooked everybody’s attention.

Now viewing the way I approached online forums such as Reddit and Weibo:

While the questions about collecting misconceptions sparked hundreds of replies, the one about exploring slash fanfiction drew several pieces of backlash.

So I’m trying out different ways to convey myself more clearly in this project to draw people in.

Drawing from the deeply personal nature of fanfiction and its connection to the experiences of fan writers, I chose narrative inquiry as my methodology to explore and understand the needs of stakeholders.

This approach emphasizes storytelling as a way to delve into the motivations, challenges, and aspirations of those involved in the fanfiction community. The podcast below helped me a lot for preparing how to structure for my interviews.
