[arg_discuss] New Media lists

[despain at quantumcontent.com]

ARG writing and narrative design is welcome on the Writing SIG mailing
list. Interactive narrative is a challenge for everyone involved in it
from all directions and hearing how other genres have solved various
issues can be great inspiration.

So yes, please, feel free to bring the conversation over there if you
like. We're a whole bunch of writer types with interactivity on our minds.

> Hello Colin,

> I don't know if any contacted you off-list but there is no discussion list

> A candidate is Sue Thomas's list Writing and Digital Life list, which

> "explores the impact of digital technologies upon writing and lived

> experience within an interdisciplinary context", but has been more of an

> announcement list for a while.

> There is a digital poetry discussion list but I don't think you're after

> The likely candidate is the Game Writers SIG discussion list probably. ARG

> writers & champions like Wendy Despain, Sande Chen & Corvus Elrod are on

> that list. Perhaps one of them can say if they'd prefer ARG writing

> discussion didn't happen on that list? http://www.igda.org/writing/

> Otherwise, it can happen here...as there are plenty on this list that

> length about a specific topic on a general listserv, and to such a large

> listserv. I know I'd personally like a different list than this general

> but that is my single opinion.

>

> Another option is to create a listserv dedicated to ARG Development,

> including ARG writing...or just ARG Writing & Design...or something. If

> this

> is wanted I could host that list easily for you, but if someone else can

> no

> problem too.

>

> I certainly am keen to pursue discussion about ARG Writing & Design (which

> will include references to game & new media writing in general) and I know

> I'm not the only one.

> Thoughts?
