Thanks For All the Fish

Posted by Stupid Ranger at 2:11 PM
E and I have received so much support for our book, and as of today, we have had 173 gamer girls and 185 gamer guys complete our surveys.  In addition to the basic survey, we asked the girls if they wanted to complete some follow-up surveys, and we received overwhelming response on the follow-ups as well.

In fact, we've received so many surveys, we had to close them earlier than originally anticipated.  So the surveys are no longer available.  We do appreciate all your support, and as we work our way through the many, many surveys, we will update you on our progress.

Thanks again for all the fish! :)

Gamer Girl Suvey: Update

Posted by Stupid Ranger at 8:00 AM
I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has participated so far in the Gamer Girl survey for the book e and I are developing.  We have had such fantastic turn-out on our surveys, and we are both really overwhelmed with goodwill and support.

As of Sunday night, one week from our survey release, we have 185 guys' surveys nd 146 girls' surveys.  Having reached our goal for the guys, we have closed the guys' survey, but we are still taking girls' surveys at: http://geeksdreamgirl.wufoo.com/forms/girl-gamer-book-survey-for-girls-only/.

For those who have completed our survey and/or offered support, we both extend our gratitude.  If you're a girl gamer and haven't completed the survey, or if you know a girl gamer how hasn't finished the survey, please send them the link!

Thanks! :)
