revenaThe current issue of Cerise is going live super-late this month because Real Life attacked everyone on staff simultaneously. Usually it just picks a few of the stragglers off every thirty days or so.
Anyway. I wanted to post the theme for June even though the May issue isn't up yet because a) I think it is an awesome theme and b) I suspect that some of you will also find it awesome, and might like to write something for it:
June 2008 Issue
Submission deadline: May 20th, 2008
Theme: Heroines and Villainesses
Male heroes and villains seem to dominate gaming storylines, but there are plenty of fascinating female hero(in)es and villain(esse)s, too. This issue aims to celebrate and discuss our favorite (and least favorite) female characters, both protagonists and antagonists.
Who are your all-time favorite heroines and villainesses, and why are they so great? What makes a video game heroine heroic? What’s it like to roleplay as a villainess? What are some of the typical ways in which female heroes and villains differ from their male counterparts – and is that okay? If these questions intrigue you, be sure to submit your work for this issue.
Guidelines, as always, reside here.
