Audiences for Videogame Scholarship

Social Proofers:

  • Ian Bogost. He's a busy guy, but he's also probably the single most qualified person I know of to respond to my paper. I could send him a draft and just see what happens.
  • reddit community /r/truegaming. There's a lot of very serious discussion going on in this group. I'm sure that I would get thoughtful feedback here.
  • My own blog. I have built a very limited community through my own videogame writing. If asked directly, I might get some feedback here as well.
Conference:
  • Dr. Burton told me and Greg there's a guy at BYU trying to start a conference on videogames. It would be really cool to contribute to the debut session of a new conference.
Journal:

  • Journal of Games Criticism. I think this will be my final submission destination. A solidly academic journal but still new enough that they're looking for any good writing, not just professors.
  • Game Studies. This is "the" journal of the field of game studies. Getting published here would living the dream.
Blog:
  • Definitely a lot more options here, but I think of all of them, I'd go with Ontological Geek. I just like the way they do things.
