Hello again to all members of the wonderful discourse community know as Role Playing!
Thank you so much to all of the members who responded to Part 1 of my research, your answers were extremely helpful and I believe my research proposal went very well.
Part 2 delves deeper into our communities structure, really getting into how we function on a daily basis, specifically how we communicate to accomplish tasks, generate new knowledge, and basically get work done. Once these "genres" as they're called are specified ((Please do not focus on the term "genre" here it means something COMPLETELY different than you're probably thinking..still confuses me sometimes.)) I will conduct a thorough analysis and determine if the genre's support my thesis.
What is my thesis?
Well.... I am still hashing out a specific thesis statement at the moment but basically I believe the roleplaying community and its beliefs are worthy of academic study because our formate and how we operate could benefit in the classroom setting, specifically when it comes to students learning how to write. Many individuals of my generation (high school -college age) cannot write, and do not feel that they will ever become one.
QUESTION TIME
1. Do you feel that the tools available assist in you become a better writer? (i.e. Refining Writing, Challenges, RolePlay mechanics)
2. Within the time span of you becoming a member of this community, (Please disclose how long you've been roleplaying) do you feel as though you've become a better writer? (please list any improvement possible from grammar structure, to developing complex sentence structures)
3. In your own words, please best describe the basic roleplaying style of writing.
if you do choose to respond to this thread please know that if you are over the age of 18 I may contact you for an interview or perhaps request to use your response(s) as a direct quote in my paper.
Again thank you so much,
