Yes.. here it is in it's full glory. After much trouble finding other means to do this online, livejournal has come through for making the census work! Here's the facts and have fun!:

3. The final results will be posted to the official LAFF mailing list in about 2 or 3 weeks
4. You do NOT need a livejournal to do this survey!
5. You DO need to be a LAFF member to answer this. You do not need to be an active member or even in the area but as long as you are subscribed to the LAFF list and read it once in awhile you are welcome to participate
6. Sorry for spamming ya' with such long polls those who use LJ regularly d=
7. This was made by Artemis and Mistletoe
