quote:Original post by Ivyn I don''t know if that''s true. First of all there are alot of female fantasy authors out there as well as readers. Lack imagination? I''ve seen so many great artists who are female. Take for example the online art and story writing community Elfwood which is about 65 percent or more female.
I really just don''t think this is the case. Somebody bash the hell out of me if I''m wrong.
This topic is quite interesting though. The gap between the number of male and female game players seems so staggering and I''ve always wondered why exactly that is so. Women seem to consume most other media about as much as the men.
I sure wish one of those women would write a story for a game. I''ve got a few CPU cycles left to work some on a game...
The only new thing I have to add is that you might want to look at www.neopets.com , it has lots and lots of female players.

I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.
Women look for things in this order: 1: money 2: clothes 3: flashy accessories 4: shoes 5: a husband to go to work for them 6: friendship\love\emotional support 7: sex
