Here's a thumbnail of the responses we've received so far from our reader profile survey. This is what we've learned about who reads DargonZine.
Since March 1997, there's been very little change in our reader demographic. As the Internet has become more ubiquitous, we've seen more new readers who studied arts and letters, rather than the traditional computers and sciences backgrounds. And our one big anomaly continues to persist: the surprising lack of readers in the 35-40 age bracket as compared to all other age groups.
