Please vote if you consider yourself to be a part of LJ-based fandom. Whether you are an active participant or a lurker, you might consider yourself part of LJ-based fandom if you got a LJ partly or wholly because of fandom, fan fiction, fan art, vidding, etc.
The purpose of the poll is to get a basic idea how much money fandom pays into Livejournal. (
shaggirl points out any LJ user can see their payment history here for reference.) The final questions relate to the recent suspension of fannish communities and journals with controversial terms in their "interests" lists.Anyone can see the results of this poll and your name will be attached, so if that bothers you, don't take the poll. :-) If you'd still like to participate without making this info public, you can make a screened comment with your answers over here.
Note that most questions below ask what you have. So if someone gave you a paid account or paid icons, your answer to "Do you have a paid account" will be yes, and your answer to "how many of your accounts have paid icons" will be "12" or however many it is.
But then answer honestly when it comes to how much you have paid for your LJ account: if you've never paid a dime, choose $0. There's another question for gift-givers to estimate how much they've paid so that we can hopefully account for LJ fairies.
