RPG Times needs writers

[RafVelez]

The RPG Times needs writers. We are interested in receiving material from dedicated, serious writers who can meet deadlines.

We encourage writers with ideas for the following categories to read our submissions guidelines. We will consider material for:

• Ongoing Fiction
• Sporadic fiction
• Regular Opinon Column
• Sporadic Opinion Column
• Regular Role Playing Oriented Column
• Sporadic Roleplaying Column
• One Time Submission

All interested parties should visit the RPG Times (http://www.rpgtimes.net/rpgtimes/submissions.php) for further information. All other submission inquires should be directed to our Submissions Editor, Rafael Velez at submissions@rpgtimes.net.

So what kind of material are you looking for, specifically? Any preferred topics within those categories you listed, or just anything related to roleplaying?

[RafVelez]

Well, Ravil, we're looking for just about anything RPG related. For instance, I've been writing a column on RPG collecting for several years now.

In the past we've had continuing articles on PBEMs, on gaming in a cyberpunk setting, and on gaming from a woman's perspective. All of them worked just fine.

As for fiction, any kind of genre fiction would work best. I tend to like horror fiction myself, and since I screen the new stuff... :D But seriously, short stories would be great. Continuing short-stories would be even better.

Did you have anything specific in mind?

[Ravil]

Yeah, I have something in mind that might work out. I'll let you know.

Speaking of which I don't recall seeing any indication if this is a "for the love" or "pay" market in the submission guidelines. You may want to make it plain one way or the other, especially since you are asking for fiction.

That really should be stated somewhere in the official guidelines, IMO.

Also, see if you can get the site listed somewhere like Ralan dot com. (They have a "for the love" markets listing.)

Shoot! Kester's right. I suppose we should specify in the submission guidelines that all writing is "for the love" rather than for pay.

Sorry for the confusion, folks.

No worries.

Most sites that list markets tend to link direct to the submission guidelines and it helps for authors to know that sort of thing up front.
