Nickelodeon asks for Avatar Portal's Help! - 9/27 (Editted)
And yes that date makes sense, I'm in Japan =P
Folks this is BIG NEWS. I was recently E-Mailed by Ms. J. Alison Bryant, Ph.D. She is a Senior Research Director of Nickelodeon and is interested in using our site as a place for a fan survey for the show! She will E-Mail me back with the main information of the survey and other details within the next couple weeks, so stay really closely tuned to our main page! Here is the E-Mail:
I am a Senior Research Director for Nickelodeon. As you may know, although Avatar is no longer on the air on Nickelodeon, and is now running on NickToons, we’ve still got a lot underway with the property. In addition to the 2010 movie from M. Night Shyamalan and James Cameron, we’ve got a few other ideas up our sleeves.
What we’re trying to get a handle on right now is what fans of the show (and “super fans”) find compelling about the show and what they would like to see us do in the future. We have been doing in-home ethnographies with fans, and are now in the process of fielding a large-scale, national survey. In order to make sure that we are truly getting a fan’s perspective, however, we are hoping to supplement that survey with a sample of hard-core Avatar fans. To that end, we were thinking that it would make sense to run our Web survey off of a couple of the key fan sites for the show. Since The Avatar Portal is one of those critical sites, I am hoping that you will be amenable to helping us with this project by letting us run the survey off your site.
As I mentioned, we really don’t want to move forward on our initiatives for Avatar until we’ve heard from the fans. I’m happy to talk with you guys further via phone or email, and to answer any questions you might have about the research process. We are hoping to get the survey up in the next couple of weeks, so if you could get back to me very soon, that would be great!
Take care,
Alison
I will be giving Ms. Bryant a call sometime in the next couple days to try and confirm as much as possible about the survey.
This is an awesome day not only for AP but for the whole Fandom. Let's make our voices heard!!!
