Re: Academia question

Save copies, or at least screenshots.

I can see how Tumblr is awful as a research platform with the rate a lot of people changes their names. That can be a solution for you though, if you change your name for a little while, source it to that name and then change back later. (Which isn't very ethical imo, but a solution)

Re: Academia question

Heh, that's a clever solution. It's probably best to just skip the chicanery and be as direct as I can, though. My academic standing is important to me, and I have some vague hopes about presenting this paper at a conference, too.

It's not just the name changes - it's the lack of a central hub to function as a community, the lack of any kind of coherent archiving, and the lack of community "borders" or "members" of any sort. Combine that with the INSANELY high traffic on tags, and I think that it would be almost impossible for someone outside of a specific tumblr fandom to actually do any meaningful research on it without interviewing members left and right.

Re: Academia question

If it's something you want to present to a larger audience I would be as open as possible about your sources, especially as taking questions is usually part of it. I would assume that this would be a fairly new and interesting arena for many, and if the difficulty of researching the topic is such a large part of the paper as you say I would think you would get a lot of questions surrounding that.

Yeah, I can see how all of that can make it a very difficult job. I guess a survey could be a way to get meaningful data, but even then you have to be a visible part of the fandom to get any attention.
