Neighbours Cluedo from Art of Neighbours<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve got chapters\/papers in a couple of publications that were released in the past few days. \u00a0Bethan Jones<\/a> and Wickham Clayton<\/a> recently edited a special issue<\/a> of Intensities: The Journal of Cult Media <\/em>about transmedia board games. \u00a0I have a wee piece about The Art of Neighbours in there, but the range of articles is really great – not just cult\/fantasy stuff but it features things like Charlie Chaplin, Battleship and the Wizard of Oz. \u00a0It was a great project to be involved in and I know a few things are being written on board games at the moment so I look forward to seeing where this burgeoning field goes…<\/p>\n

I’ve also got a chapter in The Ashgate Research Companion to Fan Cultures<\/a>\u00a0(edited by Linda Duits<\/a>, Joost de Bruin <\/a>and Stijn Reijnders<\/a>) about the research I did on Cliff Richard and Belle and Sebastian fans in the early 2000s and early 2010s. The book covers a wide range of topics, eras and methodologies and I can’t wait to read it.<\/p>\n

And, as I suspect I’m getting a bit of traffic from Sims fans at the moment, just an update on the Sims 4 research – my pre-release survey<\/a> will be live until Monday if you still want to complete it. \u00a0The post-release survey<\/a> should be up within a week of the game’s release (it hasn’t been written yet as I want to adapt questions to what’s known to be in the game after it comes out, not just the pre-release news\/rumours\/trailers etc). \u00a0I know a lot of people have said in the pre-release that they’re not buying it, but I hope those people will still fill in the post-release survey. \u00a0The survey will essentially take two ‘tracks’ – one for those who’ve purchased it and one for those who haven’t (yet) and the findings will be compared to the pre-release data. \u00a0Almost 800 surveys have been completed. \u00a0Some of the raw data will be made available late September when I present a paper at the Fan Studies Network conference on it, but it’ll take a while to process everything (especially all the qualitative comments). \u00a0Number and nature of the publications based on it TBC but I’m also committed to some non-Sims and non-fan studies papers in 14\/15 (plus creating\u00a0new modules for SHU) so I will have to write those first!<\/p>\n
