| Another blog on cross-media‘Factory Girl’has started a blog about her research:‘Game Across media:exploring cross media and play’. Here is some info from her blog birth post: I am a creative individual who got a serious crush for interactive narrative some years ago and another crush,just as serious,for cross media communication around 2004. My background in films and anthropology (and a bit of new media too) unfortunately didn’t allow me to plunge into these for me new topics immediately,so,after abandoning my old fashioned PhD studies in Anthropology of Communications,I had to take some time to “upgrade”. Through a lot of effort,heavy conference attendance,internet networking and many many readings (ah,those Amazon bills..) I managed to to feel somehow at ease with a topic that in any case until a couple of years ago didn’t feature in university courses. Waiting to find an enlightened institution to sponsor my studies,I will post here the advancement of my solitary research,hoping that way it will be less solitary.

Hello Christy,I was going to write you about it but you found it first- the blog is still a bit “green”,maybe in some months –Factory Girl is a production hub of games and playable products with a sympathy for women,the site will be on in a few days —thank you for keeping track of absolutely EVERYTHING!
cheers Valentina
I didn’t realise it was you Valentina! To be honest,I’ve been watching the blog for a short while and wasn’t sure if I’d spoken with the author or not. Great to see you’re still passionate about the area and you’re focusing on a specialist area. Look forward to reading more.
