Pitch submissions for issue 2 have closed! Thank you to everyone who submitted! I'll be contacting people whose submissions are chosen over the next couple days!
The Adult Analysis Anthology is a collection of longform essays that seek to increase the
overall supply of high-quality writing about porn games and porn game
culture. Pitches are open to EVERYBODY, regardless of prior writing experience! If you enjoyed the first issue and have a great idea for an essay to be included in the next one, I'd love to hear it! Also, this isn't just limited to Cohost users - absolutely feel free to share this post with friends or communities who might be interested in pitching! And yes, as with the first issue, contributors will be paid for their final essays (see below for more on that).
A few notes about pitches:
- Please keep pitches SHORT. Try to keep it to 2-3 sentences per pitch!
- Multiple pitches are welcome, but only one pitch per person will be accepted.
- When choosing subjects for pitches, keep in mind that the wordcount for the final essay should be around 1000-2000 words.
- Pitches from previous contributors are welcome. Also, if you submitted a pitch to a previous issue and it wasn't accepted, feel free to pitch it again!
- 8-12 pitches will be accepted.
Regarding payment:
- Once the selected pitches have been finalized, a flexible-funding Indiegogo campaign will be launched, with the goal set such that each contributor will be paid at least $75 USD should it meet the goal.
- So, for example: if 10 pitches are accepted, the goal would be set at $750 USD plus tax, platform fee, and an additional $75 USD for my own work compiling & editing the anthology.
- If the campaign exceeds its goal, the excess will be evenly divided among all contributors.
- On the other hand, if the campaign does not meet its goal, whatever it does take in will be split evenly between all contributors. Contributors will be given the option of backing out of the anthology should the campaign not meet its goal.
Ideas for pitches:
- First off, I recommend at least skimming the contents of the first issue to make sure your idea isn't too similar to something that's already been covered.
- Reviews of individual porn games, or series of porn games!
- Personal accounts of experiences playing porn games, or your own relationship to porn games
- If you're a porn game developer, accounts of your experience are welcome!
- Similarly, if you're interested in interviewing someone related to porn games, I'd love to hear your idea!
- Observations of trends in the development, evolution, or business of porn games!
- Everything is on the table, so long as it pertains to porn games! Surprise me!
