Call for Submissions - "Dangerous to go Alone!"
Manawaker Studio's first call for submissions is for a poetry anthology.
"Dangerous to go Alone!" will be a collection of poetry and art inspired by video games and video games culture, curated and edited by yours truly.
If you are a gamer who is also a poet or visual artist (or if you know one who might be interested), check out the submission guidelines here.
This is going to be a fun project, and I'll be stoked if some of my Icrontic friends get involved.

"Take this lightsaber, it's dangerous to go alone." - Han Solo
Awesome! This should be fun.
I'll contribute a thing or two. I'm not professional, but I do enough writing that I'd call myself a mediocre writer.
Look here now
Enemies I plow
A teabag here
A teabag there
And now a-FUCK!
Campers SUCK!
This was something I came up with while trying something good...it's terrible, and I'd rather not submit it to the book, but I find myself unable to delete it completely.
Maybe someone here would appreciate?
I dunno dude, I think you should totally submit that.
Well if you guys liked that one I can post the other ones that I did here as well. I've got two down so far.
Here's a limerick.
I don’t care for the school pride
I cause Metroid Genocide
My grades they do fall
I hide in the hall
It’s my ass my mom will Ride

...and here's some TF2 set to the styling of Jack and Jill.
Spies they do frustrate me still
While friends close in for the kill
From the ground I dodge around
And the sniper blows my head off
is there a poetry thread because I think there should be a poetry thread.
Made a poetry thread and included all my poetry from here on there check it out and try it out. Show that you're not an unrefined barbarian.
Updated the submissions page to reflect that there will now be a token payment for all accepted works.
Spread the word.
Obviously not mine, but I would pay for a painting of this:
To Eliza Masters wife of the mighty Ken,
Never do you fret when he practices a HADOUKEN!,
Many months pregnant with his first child,
Never would you stop Ken from getting a little wild,
For your warrior Ken has a fighters heart,
You've surely known that from the very start,
When the time comes for an unsanctioned illegal brawl,
You just say, Honey, its okay go ahead, beat them all!,
So to you Eliza, all men owe this debt of gratitude,
For standing by your man, and not acting like a prude.
