Hi Jean
Welcome to the list!
Thanks for your suggestion re the subject lines but in fact it is the system
which has been adding that, rather than individual users. When I set up the
list I set it to add [WRITING-AND-THE-DIGITAL-LIFE] to every subject line,
which is why you've seen it a lot.
But about half an hour ago I changed that text to [WDL] to shorten it a bit
- which is why you have a double set of brackets on yours! Sorry about the
tangle.
Your point re setting a filter is a good one. If anyone needs advice on how
to do that, feel free to email me backchannel at [log in to unmask]
I look forward to hearing more about your research. Can you tell me whether
digital storytelling focusses on fiction, or does it include all kinds of
digital narratives?
Best
