Just a quick note … I was thinking, perhaps it would be interesting to write a book of play(er) biographies – using the networked identity framework that I etched out in my MA Thesis. The whole point of my thesis was to introduce a framework – a tool – for researchers to use when thinking about identity in goal oriented virtual worlds (with the hope of expanding it out towards digital social spaces). In a way, it would be fun to write an anthology of sorts made up of biographies – to see if my theory works beyond myself and those I’ve (briefly) interviewed.
