Hi Jennifer, I don't have any specific sources, but I'd be very very interested in any material you gather. I'm glad to hear that someone else is interested in the beneficial possibilities of online interactions. I have in mind one anthropology doctorate student, I'll check out her work to see if it's in fact relevant, and let you know. Heidi haLevi

Hello all,
Given my problems finding relevant sources, I'm wondering if anyone might know of any accounts (personal or academic) of individuals who have experienced a revelation about their offline lives from online interaction, and especially online gaming. There's a fair number of examples Sherry Turkle's work, but I'm interested in some other sources to work with alongside it. Specifically, I'm interested in accounts of online or virtual interaction that have somehow illuminated offline life and created some kind of conscious experience of a previously unregarded behaviour, relationship, or action. I'd greatly appreciate any sources (studies, websites, journals, books, blogs) that might be on offer.
Thanks kindly in advance.
