Odds 'n Ends
Once again, we’re happy to be introducing new content in this month’s issue of Cerise. Andrea is kicking off a new monthly feature on marketing to women gamers, and we’re running the first of what we hope will be many interviews with women gaming bloggers – Regina Buenaobra from Acid for Blood.
We’ve also got reviews, a new Gamer Story, the regular features you’ve come to expect in each issue and a great collection of articles focusing on different aspects of the “blue is for boys, pink is for girls” divide. And, of course, the much-anticipated continuation of Samara Steele’s series on gender in Live-Action Role Play.
When you’ve paged through the issue – and paused at the Back Page for a few laughs – be sure to check out our submissions guidelines. We’re always on the lookout for new contributors and expanded content. Hope to hear from you soon!
