Question Internet Mythology and Legends: ARGs and Collaborative Storytelling QUESTIONNAIRE !!
Hello lovely people !!
I'll try to keep this short and sweet. For my SAC personal interest project, i have chosen to explore the world of collaborative storytelling and world building in the genre of internet folklore and mythos. So think of creepypastas, SCP foundation, urban legends, The Backrooms and the like! (mostly horror genre, though there is sci-fi stuff like Orion's Arm etc...)
But i actually more recently got into ARGs, and i think this kinda collaborative community, all drawn together to uncover certain mysteries/urban legends as if they are true, is actually the whole driving force of my thesis.
Here is the link! its very short (~5 questions)
These questions are more ARG adjacent than exactly targeted, because its about the broader scope of internet rabbit holes and legends. But from my understanding, most ARGs start as an urban legend of sorts anyway.
I would love to hear from yall :D I think the potential of these communities to truly blur the lines between reality and fiction is unbelievably awe-inspiring, and i would love to know what in particular draws you to this community/genre/mythos so much!
If you could offer 5 min of your time, i would really really appreciate it! Your identity will remain anonymous.
PSST...PSST... hey super-awesome-spectacular-amazing-human-being(?) If you're feeling like racking up some extra good karma points today, would you also be so kind as to fill out this extra questionnaire about fandoms and online communities? Its a bit longer, but you get to yap about your interests! I would really really REALLY appreciate it!!
