I'm a university student from Montreal, Canada who is working on a research project about speedrunning and the community that surrounds it. As someone who has watched speedruns and casually run some games on the side, I was kind of shocked to see how little attention speedrunning has received in game studies and I really want to change that.

A big part of that so far has been keeping a log of my own experiences as I do runs, but I’m only one perspective. That’s where you come in. I have a set of interview questions that I'm looking for people to answer and I thought this might be a good place to turn. If you have some time over the next couple of weeks, I would really appreciate any takers.
