*waves* My Senior Capstone Research Study

[Jaydena]

Hello to everyone! My name is Jenny but at Dragonmount I was known as Jaydena McKanthur and was Captain General on both sides of DM for 8+ years. As the wheel turned I ended up leaving the site for various reasons. This site was a huge part of my life for many years, in fact I joined my first Wheel of Time site (Dragonmount) in 1998. When I sat down to decide on the topic of my Senior Capstone project (a requirement for my Bachelors degree) I knew immediately what I wanted to do. Fandoms and the support that one can find from belonging to one is a subject I have experienced personally. For my research study I have created a survey that I would very much appreciate anyone your assistance with. The survey should take 10-20 minutes depending how in-depth you are with the answers. Your responses are completely protected and no identifying information will be included in the survey. Thank you so much for your help on this!!

❤️ Jenny!

[Jaydena]

Arie!! Hello. You have no idea how surreal it is to be posting on here. ?

[CaddySedai]

*peers over spectacles* 

 

You... I know you. 

 

Crazy to see you Jaydena ?

[Jaydena]

Hi there Caddy! Good to see you!

[CaddySedai]

Cool capstone topic by the way. 

 

Fandoms attract a rare breed. Tiz why I keep coming back to this place. I cant say I have anything in my life from the 1990s except being here lmao

[Arie]

best of the Green's.. right here in this thread...... 

 

*coughs*

[Jaydena]

Caddy, I totally get that. Fandoms were a huge part of my life until I left Dragonmount back in the day. This site and others (really the people on here because that's what makes a site) got me through some very dark times and some very good times. I wouldn't be who I am today or as fierce as I am without being CG or Green. Aww thank you Arie! We had a lot of amazing Greens back in my day *heck did I just say that* and I have no idea who is still here.

[CaddySedai]

Greenie for Life. 

 

Im actually still wearing my green eyed great serpent ring and my green ajah badali necklace as we speak lmao. 

 

As beat to hell as they both are. 

 

I still mentally relive my time with my novice sisters - on beseen - sneaking itchweed into the shoes of full fledged Sisters *snicker* 

 

Its memories like that that have a way of digging in and keeping me smiling. 

[Jaydena]

I get that too, I often think about my fandom days. I likely would have already started to lurk at a fandom if it weren't for being busy with college for 4+ years. Lots of good time and good memories for sure!

[Elgee]

Mentor! It's good to see you here again after all these years ?

I'm still not growed up, btw.

I've never heard of this Capstone thing (I presume it's an American thing?) but it sounds interesting and I wish you much good luck with it!

[Ryrin]

Done.

[Azshaya]

Oh wow, Jaydena, now that's a blast from the past.

 

I'll definitely get this filled out :)

[Elgee]

That was interesting!

[Jaydena]

Azshaya I don't recognize the name but good to see you on here. Thanks for doing that for me Elgee, I really appreciate it.

[Ryrin]

It really was interesting.

Yes! 

[Jaydena]

Well I might be a super lurker especially as I am getting ready to graduate and then transition to working full time out of the home since before my 12 year old was born. *G*

[Elgee]

You're going to need us to keep you sane *nods*

 

Errr ... or whatever ?

[Jaydena]

*snorts* You guys would have to be sane to help me stay sane. You all are a bit cray cray up in here. ?

[LilyElizabeth]

Sanity is way overrated.
