[Steven Conway speaking]: Well, I’m kind of new in the area because I first met Judd and Ken five years ago at this conference. And it was probably a few years ago now where they started talking to me about LGI and getting involved from England, and now I’ve moved to Melbourne, and we’re talking about setting up an archive in Melbourne, you know. So really right now I’m just kind of trying to do the ground work locally in Melbourne amongst Melbourne universities to actually facilitate that kind of connection so that we can start building an Australian kind of version of LGI and link up with the guys. So really I’m just doing really boring foundational networking at the moment. So that’s been my experience and really I’m just envious of Judd and Ken’s work they’ve done already. So my experience is very … it’s really just doing the basic stuff. Yeah, it’s all facilitated through Ken and Judd and LGI. Trying to build an archive to link with theirs, which is obscene … enormous. So yeah, I’m just doing ground work.
[Stephanie Vie speaking]: And how about you, Marc? How would you say you got connected with LGI, or um…
[Marc Ouellette speaking]: They … truthfully, they found me. And it’s kind of a, kind of a strange truth. My first time coming to this conference was around 2000, and I presented on video games but through the science fiction fantasy area because there wasn’t a game studies area. And this was the only conference that would even touch the idea of a game as a text. And then shortly thereafter I put out a call for papers for an edited … a guest edited edition of a journal and Judd was one of the first few people to respond. And Judd responded to me … this was more than a dozen years ago … so Judd contributed to that issue. And then we’ve sort of just known each other and then as the LGI thing came on, decided on, would you like to try it? Here’s the website, here’s your password, here’s your login. What would you like to do? What are you capable of doing? Let’s put your talents, such as they are, with people who are actually talented and see if you can be able to contribute and see how these things go. So I first presented here probably 2005 or 2006 with … through the LGI group but having known Judd and Ken after that entirely ... Until that point I had known them but never physically met them, never physically seen them before. There was no Skype in those days, so it was all done through, you know, email and other things. And so it’s progressed from there. So a number of really fruitful collaborations have come out of that. I’ve been really lucky.
