Online Gaming Environments and Narrative

One of my main objectives in my otherwise useless dissertation was to establish that online gaming's purpose is in the creation of narratives (storytelling in a new medium). Hence, since folklorists are involved with the study of storytelling, this was a viable path of study. Whether or not I was successul or not in demonstrating this was left to my dissertation committee. However, I'm still sold on the idea.

Via Boing Boing , I was led to a very informative interview with Sean Stewart on this very topic. Link.
