Issue 2 – Nocturnal Submissions
Ok, folks. It’s time to look for submissions for issue 2 of Hold in To Trip.
The overarching theme is “Night.” Or “Darkness”. Hence the title of this post.
Video games are dependent on light for their existence – without that light coming out of the screen, there’s no existence. So write about darkness and night and games.
Or maybe not about games at all – submit what you think is best. We’ll probably publish anything that’s good. And you can make good things, can’t you?
Text, images, whatever you’ve got. So long as it can be dumped onto a page in Scribus or InDesign, anything goes. Keep in mind our printing will most likely again be grayscale (maybe with a bit of spot-color), and not super-high quality so fine details may be lost in image-work. We are probably not the best place to submit your intricate paper-cut-design patterns.
Word count: aim for 800-1000 words. Over or under is fine, if it suits the piece. Or talk to me about it over lunch.

Looking to go to print in early October. Also, we edit. Also, we don’t pay yet. Maybe one day.
But you DO get a free copy of the zine.
Also, I will have some copies of issue 1 in my bag at PAX in September. Maybe there’ll be a discount if you buy one in person!
dude paper cut design patterns look excellent in grayscale / bw. i will submit one just to prove it.
p.s. captcha wouldn’t work in firefox for me (invalid referrer?) so i had to use IE. might be my fault but thought i’d just say it anyways.
