Narrower...

So it would seem, based on the comments I've received, that the winner by popular vote is my idea to write about the video games that have been, and are being created at Champlain College. So, first thing's first, if I'm write about what's going on I'll need to tap in to the gaming current and connect with upper classmen in the major, and see what they're working on. Really, I'm expecting the process of learning about the games, and perhaps a little of the people behind them as, while not without it's challenges, a vocation that is also not far from my comfort zone. I suppose the greatest challenge, as is almost always the case, will be finding a venue to publish it. The Champlain Current seems obvious, and while I don't read it often, from what I've seen it does not have a section dedicated to video games. While this may, or may not be something that the Current would be willing to explore, and may, or may not be something I would even be able to fully cover by myself, I feel that the omission of such a section in the Current would lead to the under representation of one of the most cutting edge, productive and least understood by outsiders of any major in the school.

The other project I would consider, simply because it is so close to my heart, is the pursuit of the opportunity to work in the fiction department of Games Workshop, or to write literature for Warhammer 40,000. However, at this point in time it would seem that my only course of action is not submit fiction of any kind to Black Library, or to any branch of Games Workshop, but rather to publish unrelated works of sci-fi literature elsewhere. Games Workshop is one of the oldest and largest competitor in a very niche market, and for this reason they only contract with established writers. Therefore, quickest way to the Black Library would be to build a reputation as an author of sci fi fantasy literature, which seems to be attainable through other venues only. What I have in mind is to prepare something I've written to be submitted to various sci fi/fantasy magazines. I would begin on two fronts; the first to polish and prepare a story for submission, the other is to contact editors from various sci fi magazines, in the attempt to decide where I would submit, and to create contacts at those venues.
