using a survey to collect submissions

I created an online survey titled ‘tell us your dating horror stories‘ so that we could collect submissions for our magazine based around people’s interesting, funny or embarrassing first date or internet dating experiences. The survey had an option to leave your name or leave the submission anonymous. We received over 40 submissions and after narrowing them down have decided these will form part of our main feature article for the first issue, clearly summarising what our issue wants to talk about and commenting on young people’s use of social media to find potential relationships.
