[esocialaction] Strong elderly women for Pastiche scenarios

[Dearden, Andrew M]

Hi All


Mark Blythe has developed a novel approach to scenario writing in design that uses pastiche of classic fiction to make secnarios more engaging and open up the emotional aspects of our relations with computers. 

A key resource for pastiche scenarios is good characters. 

We have created a space on the wiki for listing useful characters for use in pastiche scenario writing. 

Our first goal is a list of elderly women from fiction who present strong positive images of age, rather than presenting elderly women as powerless victims. If you have some ideas, please either email me or Mark, or contribute to the wiki page.
