If you are a reader/writer of science fiction,[info]punkrocker1991wants you to do this survey

Frankly I have problems with the phrasing of some of the questions (exactly how does one subscribe to Antipodean SF? Though I've just noticed they have an RSS feed - shows how long it's been since I've looked at the site.) And I think some of the questions demonstrate the parochial nature of the Aus SF scene (questions about do you buy stuff because your friends are in it? Well, yes and no, I'd be broke if I bought and chased down everything.)

And I couldn't model successfully the fact that the last two genre books I bought were solely because they were by writers I liked.

There were also no questions about accessing Australian SF through libraries (which makes sense if the underlying purpose of the survey is commercial.)

But don't listen to me. Do the survey. Win fabulous prizes. Support the Aus SF scene. Give blood generously.

(edited, slightly, because it's not just Russ's survey - see comments)
