Can I say that one more time? I like saying it. Science makes me happy.

THE MAJORITY OF SLASHERS IDENTIFY AS QUEER.


No.

The majority of slash-writers in on-line fandom WHO TAKE POLLS identify as queer.

I admit that yes, your data collection does serve a really important function, as it is irrefutable, based on your evidence, that [in the 21st Century] ALL SLASH WRITERS ARE NOT HETEROSEXUAL WOMEN.

But until you can poll a cross-fandom cross-age-cohort statistically-representative sampling of currently-active slash writers, you cannot say that the majority of them identify with one orientation or another. Or another. Or another...
