Luna Luv from Black Rose Society has been conducting an independent study titled “Social Functioning and Narrative Identity Themes Within Self-Identified Vampires“. Their description of the study is below:
Our purpose: Self-identified vampires, that is, people who choose to identify themselves as a vampire or as possessing vampiric traits, often come from vastly different philosophical and ideological backgrounds. This survey asks for historical accounts from individuals who identify as vampires (or vampire-adjacent, i.e. medsangs, vampirekin, etc.) which pertain to both their identity and social development. Responses, while anonymous, will assist us in finding trends in social history and identity narrative development that may exist between identity types, or further serve to individuate them.
This survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete. Responses cannot be saved to come back to later, so please set aside appropriate time for yourself to complete the survey. Please provide as much or as little information as you are comfortable.
Those in TBB that meet the criteria have also been invited to participate in this study, via the link below. NOTE: The survey is hosted on Google Docs. While Luna Luv has claimed to not collect identifiable information, we don’t know what data Google will collect (or what they will do with it) when you participate or view the study. If you wish to participate or view the study, I recommend using a Google account that has no ties to your personal identity. For a brief detail on how data is generally collected and processed online, see Book: Online Safety.
