Two notes. When 'Internet' is mentioned, you can read 'Internet and
Bitnet' instead :-)

I have stored an interesting article about Internet Romance on the
EURECON FILELIST. It is the article  "Internet Romance: A Haven for
the Socially Shy?", written by Ronda Prusak (Research Methods in
Psychology, Kenyon College), May 16, 1994.
You can retrieve this article interactively from LISTSERV@HEARN or
by way of e-mail from LISTSERV@nic.SURFnet.nl. Send the command
GET INTERNET ROMANCE to this listserv to retrieve it. If you have
problems with this, please e-mail me personally.

EJVC, the Arachnet Electronic Journal on Virtual Culture is
publishing in July an issue about 'Romance on the Internet'.
As the EJVC "Call for essays, letters and articles" could be of
interest to subscribers on this list, I forward the original
letter. The deadline of submission is July 10th. If you want more
information about EJVC, send me an e-mail :-)

My apologies if you receive this posting twice. I have sent it
to RELUSR-L and EURECON.

 Cordially,

The InterNet brings people together for many reasons, and one of them is
to explore the possibilities of and perhaps to discover romance. This use
of the medium appears to be growing. If you have experimented with or have
opinions about this dimension of the electronic superhighway, the Virtual
Square (VS) would like to hear from you.

Romance on the InterNet:
  Is this a fad or a trend?
  What are some of the implications?
  How is it changing the nature of relationships?
  Is this an appropriate use of the InterNet?
  Considering "Mosaic" and other multimedia interfaces for the InterNet,
     what are your predictions for the coming years?
  What does it say about users of the InterNet?
  How are virtual relationships different from face-to-face ones?

Please submit -- via email -- your essays, letters, narratives, and
articles. The pieces should be between 500 and 5,000 words. Send them to:
Jim Shimabukuro, Editor, Virtual Square:

          InterNet address: JamesS@UHunix.UHcc.Hawaii.Edu
