audiences for my research

Although I am researching this subculture out of my own personal interest, I think that there might be some people interested in this work. I have found multiple people who have already studied this group and find them as facinating as I do. There seems to be a need to understand these fans of Twilight. Scholars don't just want to read about these people. They want to study them and understand them. Twilight is a big thing right now and this ethnography could just be a quick read to better know these kids. I would hope that parents would take an interest in this. Not that I want parents to restrict their kids from reading this. Kids shouldn't be restricted from reading anything they find interesting. I think that parents should just understand what kids are reading. Being aware is an important thing for more than just parents. Anyone who has sat back and watched an alarming rate of children obsessing over the same thing, no matter what it is, should look into it. So this work could be educational for people who are worried. This could also just be informative to those who are curious. This could possibly be the spark for someone becoming a new Twilight fan. It can go many ways. I chose to research this group because I saw an interesting subculture and wanted to know more.
