<div dir="ltr">Huzzah - I haven't managed a newsgroup for a long time so a couple of rookie errors there!<div><br></div><div>Welcome everyone, to the UK newsgroup. Shall we start with the usual introductions? I'm also going to start up a separate thread which outlines DiGRA UK's aims, and also explains how we will be organised / how events can take place within it. This will probably be tomorrow now as I want to make sure it's clearly presented and gives people an opportunity to discuss without confusion.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, I'm Esther MacCallum-Stewart. I work at the DCRC, UWE Bristol, as a research fellow. My work examines play communities, sex and sexuality in games, and how gamers understand narratives. I've written on roleplay, deviant play and gendered appearance in games, and I'm currently finishing up (as in, writing the Index right now!) a book on webcasting, YouTubers and the Indie games scene, and an edited collection on Love in Games, with Jessica Enevold (as in, we're waiting for one final final chapter to be returned and then it goes to the publisher for typesetting!). I've been nominally coordinating the DiGRA UK group with Ashley Brown, but it's very much a group effort.</div>
