==Terminology== LARP has also been referred to as ''live role-playing'' (''LRP''), ''interactive literature'', and ''free form role-playing''. Some of these terms are still in common use; however, LARP has become the most commonly accepted term.<ref name="Tychsen2006LARP">(Tychsen et al. 2006:255) "LARP ... is the commonly accepted term in the gaming community."</ref> It is sometimes written in lowercase, as ''larp''.<ref name="Fatland2005larp">(Fatland 2005:1) "The non-Nordic reader should, however, keep in mind that there are some differences between the Nordic and Anglo-American uses of English when talking about larp. Most importantly, we treat 'larp' as a word in its own right, not an acronym (L.A.R.P.), and it is spelt lower-case."</ref>
