So my final exam paper

[mistressofrobin]

I should've just posted the dag thing here first and redirected everyone from all the coms I posted this in to this entry. Meh, I fail, that's no surprise. But I did get some replies, which excites me.

Anyway, I'm writing my frontiers of communication final on journal-based RPing and how it differs or changes our conceptions of storytelling. I don't know how many people on my friends list RP, but those of you that do, I'd really appreciate your input in this survey I came up with. Comments will be screened in case you don't want anyone seeing your answers, or you can e-mail them to my RP address loreli_leigalis@yahoo.com.
