PC Gamer is looking for a few good writers and plenty of fun gaming yarns. It looks like the UK magazine wants to start a regular reader-written New Games Journalism section. Sure, they don't call it that, but just read their open letter:

I'm trying to create a magazine that communicates the incredible experiences gamers have. A magazine that reports on the amazing transformations that dedicated communities have wrought upon the games they love.

I think such a magazine would print articles about the destruction of Kerafyrm The Sleeper in Everquest. It would report on the morphing of games like Grand Prix Legends and Interstate 82. It could relate the tale of a dramatic duel in Jedi Knight 2 or cover the phenomenon of swoop bike races in Star Wars Galaxies. Anything at all. Single-player gaming, multi-player gaming, modding, MUDs, indy games. The building of the Space Station in There, the development of unique in-game body language. A well-argued opinion piece on the state of videogame interfaces. Crazy antics on stunt servers or a simple essay on how a game stirred an individual's emotions. Anything which says something fascinating about game culture.

Wow, that's quite a request. I hope it takes, as I think more experiential writing in game magazines would be a great thing. Especially if it is handled by a deft editor who knows the difference between poetic writing and just plain rambling.
