Would any of you role-playing ladies in the Chicago area like to participate in a group that will hopefully breathe life into this cause again?
I am trying to bring this back while I still have the time on my hands, so I am hoping that people like the idea of a 20 Sided Women Group to meet up and discuss the things that I have barely touched upon on this blog. If you think this is a fantastic idea and you're in the Chicago area, please find it here and like it so I know I should start up the group!
Thanks for everyone for being patient once again. I am finding more free time on my hands so I'm hoping to come back to this more consistently.

How to go forward
Hello all,
I am finding myself in a place where I can actually devote more time to this project, but I'm wondering if the interviews are productive at this point. I am wondering if a survey at first would be good--but how would I do a survey that would actually be honest? I envision it to be as informative as the Hite report, with probably less controversy.
I'm also wondering if I should see the "relevance" women's studies would have to women in the RPG world. Start doing some academic research.
But I do have time now to come back to this, I hope. I'm planning my next step, and you all should get word about it soon.

I Feel I Should Explain The Situation
It's been a long time, hasn't it.
When I stopped consistently posting here, things at my job started to get stressful. Being the sensitive person I am, the worries of others, and my own worries about even just getting paid on time, let alone if I want to stay at my job, would ring in my head. The way I cope with a lot of stress is to proceed to relax as much as possible. Unfortunately, this coping strategy has taken me away from this project, and all the other projects I love. I have no problem doing more work for something I love when I'm not worried about being employed or having a paycheck. But when I am worried, the only way I feel "normal" and function well is if I only worry about one big thing at a time.
And unfortunately I did not attend to this project. And I feel awful about it. This is something I really want to pursue, even to the point of doing an experiment. But I've failed to do that. I'm sincerely sorry.
As soon as I know (which will be relatively soon) how things are going at my job, I will be back on this blog talking about gender in RPGs. It's a topic I'm not going to give up on. And all the support I've received from the get go reminds me how important this project is.
I hope to be posting consistently on this blog again soon.
Sincerely,
