Hey all,

I'm a university student from Montreal, Canada who is working on a research project about speedrunning and the community that surrounds it. As someone who has watched speedruns and casually run some games on the side, I was kind of shocked to see how little attention speedrunning has received in game studies and I really want to change that.

A big part of that so far has been keeping a log of my own experiences as I do runs, but I’m only one perspective. That’s where you come in. I have a set of interview questions that I'm looking for people to answer and I thought this might be a good place to turn. If you have some time over the next couple of weeks, I would really appreciate any takers.

That’s about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Confidentiality is not a problem if you just let me know. I can also make myself available for skype interviews if emails aren't your thing.

If you are interested, let me know here or at speedrunning.research@gmail.com.

Thank you for reading this and thanks in advance if you answer my questions!

All the things
I'm up for it.

That said, a fair chunk of people (myself included) will be heading off to SGDQ soon, so you might have to wait a week or two before we get a chance to reply.
No pain, no gain
Hey, man! I'd also be up for this, but be aware that this next week is crazy for runners. Be sure to check out SGDQ--if anything, you can get a feel for some of the big events we have.

I'll shoot you an e-mail, as well
Yeah, I know about SGDQ and figured it might make some schedules a bit dicey. That said, shoot me your emails, I'll send off the questions, and you can answer them whenever you get to them. I've still got plenty of time for collecting data!

EDIT: And thanks so much for the quick replies, by the way. Really appreciate it!

I'll help out, too, if you need more responses.

PM me the questions and I'll answer them in the private thread Smiley
Honestly, the more the merrier, folks! Just email me if you want the questions sent your way or we can figure out some other method of contact.

Speaking of, the PM has been sent, kirby Smiley

I'm on the hyper casual end, but have done a few speedruns in my time. [Aiming to add more to my belt this year]

I'm not as experienced as everyone else, but if a casual runner may be of any interest to your research, I'm happy to lend a hand.

Thanks for the PM mate! I will fire off a reply in the next day or so when I can properly fire off all answers.
