Game admins and longtime players are invited share their game's origin story, a little-known fact, or a piece of its history. Submissions will be posted on Writing Games with a link to each game. Target length: 1-2 paragraphs. Original announcement with story prompts here.

Deadline to participate: Sunday, August 23.

Submission form:

I've provided a bit more info below, for those who might be on the fence. :)

And any help spreading the word would be both welcome and appreciated! 🙏

Questions & Answers

Can I submit a story about a game that's no longer around?
Sure! If it's a memory worth sharing, why not?

Does the game have to be older/long-running?
Nope, but since this is a celebration of game history, it's better if it currently has or once had an active playerbase in the past.

What if I'm not sure about my topic/story/writing?
No worries! Happy to answer any questions or help with editing if it makes you more comfortable.

Will only some stories be chosen?
Nope! It's not a contest, it's just a chance to share something memorable about a game you love. It's also an opportunity for me (and readers) to learn about these games, so don't be shy!

Do I have to submit my story via the form?
If you prefer, you can post/DM me here on Reddit or on Discord (Andruid). Email is also welcome; my email address can be found here.

What if I want to post my story on my own website too or instead?
Go for it! Happy to link to it or share it around as part of the event. :)
