Learning in World of Warcraft" as the working title. Thanks, Dog, for the help! After chatting with one of my co-players about the title, I've settled on "L2P or P2L?

I'm glad you think so. I've just sent a revised version (I've updated the copy here too) to my supervisor who will hopefully agree. I've always found the process of actually committing myself to writing daunting. It's a bit odd, because I actually do a lot of writing. Pat Benatar said "Love is a battlefield", but I think writing is my battlefield and the enemy is me! I'm self-funded and working part-time on my Ph.D. Perhaps that might be an option for you to pursue? It is very difficult but people do succeed at it and it offers you the opportunity to work on a Ph.D. without needing a grant or taking on a huge debt burden. Good luck with your aspirations!

You also seem very enthusiastic about your subject area - that should hopefully help with your writing up. There's nothing worse than writing about something you have interest in - just hope you dont end up hating online gaming as a result! I hope to do a PhD someday - I think I have an idea, just no way of funding it or no idea of who would be interested in what I have to say ;) All the best & good luck! :) Cor – your abstract is really interesting!
