You definitely got The Job done here, chica, and I'd totally love to see more essays from you, however unofficial, on whatever thoughts the respondents gave you. Especially:
In general the fans who participated in my research felt that they approached SF and SF fandom somewhat differently than heterosexual fans would, although they tended to stay vague as to how, uncomfortable with the idea of trying to describe or interpret the experiences of the "typical" heterosexual fan.
I'm really curious about the discomfort, especially because I, obviously, share it. :D
