MM Romance Readership Survey: Results

(Really wishing dreamwidth had a queue/delayed posting right now)

Be interesting to compare the MM romance readership results to AO3's readership results (even though obviously people on AO3 may be reading M/F and so on, it's occurred to me that in the past it seems to skew more non-cis and more queer? But that could just be wishful thinking tbh.)

I get the feeling the AO3 demographics have been changing quite a bit over time, too.

It would also be interesting to compare MM readers to BL etc.
