Hi ladies, I'm new here and I'm looking for your help (so let me be clear, I'm definitely not trying to spam you or overwhelm the site with my stuff)... Here's my situation: I'm a doctoral student working on my dissertation, which is about women who pursue contact with male celebrities (more or less, though more eloquently and thoroughly stated when I have the time to explain it). It seems as though you all would add an amazing level of depth and understanding to my study and I hope that you will be willing to help me.

Below I've included the recruitment information, in case you are interested. And if you think that you know others who might be interested, please feel free to pass the information along. Thanks in advance for all your help and consideration!

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MALE CELEBRITY?

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO COMMUNICATE OR MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM? (Including, but not limited to, communication via social media, sending fan letters, attempting to see and/or meet him and/or traveling to do so, etc.)

IF YOU ARE A FEMALE, AGES 18 & OVER YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ANONYMOUS DOCTORAL RESEARCH STUDY ABOUT FEMALE FANS OF MALE CELEBRITIES, WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN 1 OF 5 DIGITAL GIFT CARDS.

(GIFT CARDS TO AMAZON.COM RANGE IN VALUE FROM $20 TO $100)
