Creative Response to Project
Possible creative projects that touch on research topic.
Video of a wrestling promo using different soundtrack (perhaps from a role-play)
This would be a video that essentially uses footage of the wrestler(s) speaking and dubbing their voices to tell the story that is going on in the e-fed using words, phrases, or dialogue directly from the role-plays.
Visual representation of a role-play using captions and stills
Same concept of the video but using still photographs with text as opposed to videos.
Promotional video for e-fed storylines
A fake ad promoting an e-fed PPV event.
Writing a FanFic
Actually writing a fan fiction story.

Rough Draft of Essay

Reflection of Essay:
I know my essay is weak in terms of information to support my ideas. I wrote this draft based on information I remembered reading and thus did not include any intricite details. Although, to be honest I'm not sure what sort of details will be helpful so suggesitons might be nice if anyone has them. I think the ideas are there, they may not transition as well as I would like at the moment, but the framework is in place.

Reflection on Essay and Project thus far
Organizational Diagram: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AYmPSTeNFU08ZGRjYm56dzRfNDBmZjk5dnpjbQ&hl=en
I think that originally I was very strung out with my ideas with this project. I was ranging from authorship, to acknowledgement, to education, to entertainment. However, now I think I have narrowed it down or at least found a way to tie them all together. From the beginning I have been focused on Fan Fiction and Role-Playing. However, I have decided to use a wrestling e-federation for the basis of my project as an area that carries both attributes of role-players and fan fiction authors. In my essay I will need to pull together evidence that it can be a good educational tool for people to become better writers.
I know that I have personal experience in the matter because I felt I wasn't a very good writer when I started out in an e-federation, but now I'm minoring in Professional Writing and I am very confident in my work. I'm not sure how I can use my personal testimony in relation to the project but I think it would be beneficial.
As far as the educational aspects go I have found some resources related to it, I just need to tie them all together. I might also throw in additional benefits of writing fan fiction or role-playing in regards to promoting a product or industry and inspiring new participants in the genre.
