Today, Mark Warshaw came to APOC and gave a wonderful lecture on Transmedia storytelling. A concept called “mother ship” was introduced, which is basically story considered canon, and provides the setting for any transmedia storytelling.
A question was raised during our discussion, about to what extent can the transmedia strategy divert from the contents of the [...]

About

Welcome to my blog! I am an APOC student at the University of Southern California, and the truth is that this blog is part of my course requirement. However, I will do my best to make it as useful and informative as possible, and be more active on this blog than any of my other blogs...

I love tweaking with Wordpress layouts and web design in general, so maybe I will post some tips and links to resources and sites I like. I will try my best not to bring in too much from the anime and manga industry (and you know I am a big fan if you check out my anime list), though I am a believer that fan culture strives on the internet more than any other channel, and the study of fan culture is one of the topics that really fascinates me.

I also playes video games (like wow), loves to travel and I consider myself an ill-informed food snob. So enjoy your visit!
