I have a new idea which has inflamed me. I'd like to look at the effects that Fantasy gaming has on has on people and their social interactions. I think this might prove difficult as i would probably have to do interviews with hardcore gamers and perhaps some focus groups. This could be very interesting though. I will ask around the lecturers about the subject because i think there is one that has specialised in gaming, I know that in Psychology there is a lecturer who has looked into the mental effects of Video Gaming. I've had a look online on Project Muse and JSTOR and found nothing that directly links to Fantasy Gaming but there is plenty on the subject of Video Gaming ad it's effects on society. The Self-Regulation of Virtual Reality: Issues of Voluntary Compliance and Enforcement in the Video Game Industry by Garry C. Gray has a very interesting line of inquiry looking into the possibility of Gaming creating a social problem, namely that games have increasing violence and greater realism and this is causing their values to tip over into society.
It is still in the Beta phase but this is looking very promising.
