Hey MCM!
For a while, I've been looking to break into the niche of game journalism, that is, writing about video games / tech stuff in the form of articles, like this. I've recently come into quite a bit of extra time thanks to a promotion of sorts at my irl job, so I thought that it would be a good time to start practicing.
Journalism is one of the genres of writing that I have almost no experience in, so I'd like to hear from you what sort of Minecraft-related articles you'd be interested in reading, as Minecraft players and entrepreneurs.
A bit of context about me and what I have enough expertise in to write about: I've been doing Minecraft management for about six years, since I was 15. I started on the Desteria factions network during its peak when it was hitting 2-3k players, have been solo Managers on LemonCloud and SpaceDelta. I've played lots of Factions and Skyblock, have copious amounts of experience designing game content for most of the "meta" gamemodes in Minecraft. Some of my management/design work can be found here .
I'm also a writing, rhetoric & composition major with minors in creative writing (textual study) and game narrative design. Basically, I eat, breathe and shit words, so I'm not too concerned about the writing part of this whole thing, but rather finding topics that are interesting (enough to read) to people.
What could I write about in a blog/article type format that would interest you, personally? The process of setting up servers, designing gameplay mechanics, etc?
Thanks for reading!
