We are proud to announce a section that no sane magazine would think of doing: We are ACCEPTING<br />
SUBMISSIONS for consideration. Each month we will pick one article from the group, and print it here. If you’ve<br />
ever wanted to see your work in P-R-I-N-T, this is your chance to make yourself known in the industry! We want<br />
YOU to show us what you’ve got!<br />
Fan Article by You<br />
OFFICIAL<br />
HARDCORE SUBMISSIONS RULES:<br />
• Formatting must be in plain text.<br />
Please do not attach external documents in another format, such as .doc (MS Word) or .wps (WordPerfect).<br />
• Your article must be 500 words or less so we can fit it on a page.<br />
“Don’t kill the ones you love” is a good maxim to keep in mind.<br />
• May be one of the following: Review, Industry, Event, Culture or Strategy.<br />
When submitting, begin your Subject header with one of these. i.e.: “Event: Cannes World Tournament <strong>2005</strong> for Soul Calibur <strong>II</strong>.”<br />
• Review: Your chance to spotlight a game or custom piece of hardware we’ve never heard of...<br />
• Industry: What does (topic) mean for the game industry? We’re not giving examples, but to those of you who pay attention,<br />
if you can somehow change the way we think, or show us a different angle, this may be exactly what we’re looking for.<br />
• Event: Tournaments, promotions, and college projects promoting games. What were the reasons for the event coordinators<br />
for running this? Will this be something that all of us should pay attention to?<br />
• Culture: You can never take away the social aspect of gaming culture. How has it affected us, what new trends are brewing,<br />
and what will this mean for games in mainstream society? (This is the most flexible category of the bunch.)<br />
• Strategy: Only the best of the best need apply for this one — sick skills, an eye for mechanics and an analytical mind to<br />
properly express your focus of expertise will be the feature here.<br />
• Article must be fully edited with no typos and minimal grammatical errors.<br />
We suggest picking up a copy of Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style. The basics will help cut your word count down, while<br />
fine-tuning your article closer to a professional level. At the very least, it’ll teach you how to properly use an apostrophe.<br />
• Screenshots, photographs and logos (a.k.a. ‘assets’) should not be submitted.<br />
If an article is approved, these will be acquired. With ninjas.<br />
• If using formatting, please use Adobe InDesign’s layout tags.<br />
This is case-sensitive, but we won’t kill you if you get it wrong. We’ll
