"I guess I am really
looking for ideas about how he could meet other children who are
interested in creative writing, technology and online game creation."

There are lots of those kids around, it just might take a while to
find them.
Hang out at the gaming stores, comic shops etc... there were lots of
good suggestions for that.
Heck, don't wait for those kind of people to show up, put up a flyer!
Find some adults that have those passions and are willing to hang out
and show him stuff.

One of the best friendships Trevor had was with an adult friend of
ours that was a computer geek. They spent HOURS together talking
technology. Trevor learned a ton of stuff from Jay and was given all
sorts of old parts to learn with. He ended up building a really good
computer (which I am using right now) and feeling confident enough to
learn it all himself now.

I can't overstate the value of good mentors....people that have
aquired a high level of skill in something and are willing to simply
hang out and share their interests.
