I need to use a survey on the paper I'm writing for my English class. So it would really help me if you could take a short survey about reading. It's really really short, and you don't have to go into detail on the questions if you don't want to. This is just something that I need to get done and I'd really appreciate it if you could help me.
And you will be rewarded for your help! If you help me out and fill out the survey I'll enter you in a drawing to win a wallpaper of your request made by me. Not only that, but if you can get someone outside this site to fill out the survey (a friend or a family member) then you will get your name entered in the drawing again and increase your chance to win.
I would really really appreciate it if some of you would do this for me. It's a requirement for my paper.
The contest will end the morning of Friday the 22nd. That's not tomorrow, but next Friday. And three people will win wallpapers.
Winners:
1.
2.
3.
Here is the survey, and thank you all so much. You can simply post a comment, or PM me, or send me an e-mail (llybian.minamino@comcast.net) with your response(s).

No. I've always been into fantasy. But I dislike Harry Potter

Yes. Horror, Fantasy, and Drama.

I don't read enough normal books to recommend any. I mainly read managa. So out of those, I suggest Chrono Crusade, Black Cat, and Yami no Matsuei.
