Eventually, come January or February, I'll start asking for submissions as I know it'll be a collaborative work, but I'm looking for some input so here are my initial ideas!<br /><br />* <b>History:</b> How we transitioned from AIM chatrooms to LJ & facebook to DW & plurk<br />* <b>Sociology:</b> How we all get along (moderators & players) + how we represent ourselves and our characters<br />* <b>Business:</b> Moderator skills that are useful in the office environment (management)<br />* <b>Literature:</b> Creating our own sandbox, or a unique spin on an old idea, and player-plotting / collaborative writing<br />* <b>Gender & Sexuality Studies:</b> Straightforward (har) what we've researched, explored, and learned about ourselves and the world through RP<br />* <b>Other:</b> Open to suggestions!<br /><br />So basically, if you were going to be assigned a book to read for class, what would you actually <i>enjoy</i> reading? <b>Bonus question:</b> which could you see yourself contributing a 5-25 page article to, for a nominal fee?<br /><br />PLEASE DO SHARE THIS AROUND! I'm only screening anonymous comments, because I want to be able to hold serious conversations with people.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=frudence&ditemid=50790" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
