1. Your work may be inspired by, set in, or in honor of existing titles no matter how old or niche those titles may be.

​

2. The goal is to make this magazine accessible to gamers of all types. The writing should stand on its own legs even if the reader has not played the game written about. As such, do not leave crucial terms, characters, or plot points unexplained. And most importantly, no game spoilers.

​

3. This is intended for an adult audience. There are no limits as to language or content but do try to keep it in tone with the game you are writing about.

​

4. I will accept original stories not set in a particular game so long as their relation to video games is clear. A couple examples are Bryan Lee O’ Malley’s Scott Pilgrim series and Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One.

​

5. The word limit is 3,500 words. Your work may be poetry, short story, or creative nonfiction. The deadline is April 19th.
