Hi guys, PLEASE delete if not allowed, but I just finished my last required class before my "senior capstone" at my university. Our final \*big\* project was in my Computer Mediated Communications class where we had to select an online channel of communication and build a case study surrounding how a "Sensitizing Topic" could be displayed in the online behaviors of that channel. For my online channel, I actually chose this subreddit. I have been an active member of this sub for as long as it has been around, and the community is genuinely so important to me. Some of you may appear in my case study, as I examined posts, user behaviors, and platform "cultures" that best represent the "Social Support Theory." If you are featured in the case study, no worries, only good things were said. I wanted to showcase how Social Support Theory is active on r/TalesFromTheCreeps compared to other writing communities. So, this post \*might\* not be allowed and that's fine if the mods need to delete it because it isn't technically offering help, but I thought some of you might find it interesting that r/TalesFromTheCreeps is officially featured in a collegiate-level study. (By the way, I made a 100.)
