 		Considering writing academic paper on ARGs
and I have a few questions
Hello everyone! I have played a few ARGs, though nothing too serious (whatever that means). I am currently studying Performance Studies and I am considering writing a research paper on alternate reality gaming, the communities surrounding them, and how they are different (possibly better) ways of engaging an audience when telling a story than, for example, traditional video games, theatre, television or literature.
I have been trying to find secondary sources, but so far not a lot has come up. Does anybody here know of anything?
And would anyone here be interested/willing to talk to me about their experiences, either as a PM or a player?

Thanks!
Amalie

 		"This Is Not a Game: A Guide to Alternate Reality Gaming " Dave Szulborski

"Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make us Better and How they Can Change the World" Jane McGonigal {I have not read this book myself, and its main focus is from my understanding gaming in general, not just ARGing}

Back log of articles on ARGN.com

Also, I bet if you come to ARGFest this year {Seattle July 25-27, registrations not open yet} you can interview LOTS of people, both players and PMs.

 		I like the StoryForward Podcasts. They cover not just ARGs but transmedia storytelling as well.
http://www.storyforwardpodcast.com/

If you want to hear from some PuppetMasters they talked with the We Are Earthborne and The Wall Will Fall PMs. Those were some great, recent grassroots ARGs & the discussion offers some insight into the process both teams went through.

 		And before it was called Story Forward with JC Hutchins & Steve Peters {amazing people BTW} it was the ARGNetcast hosted by Jonathan Waite {and he always had guest hosts with him such as Sean C. Stacey aka Spacebass} - there are a TON of archives you can listen to. They talk to players & creators {they themselves were both players and creators}.
