The essay on FFVI was accepted without revision to Kill Screen, and I got paid $50.

I just submitted the fourth round of edits on the Bowser essay, which was only nine hundred words to begin with, and got paid nothing. Academic publishing is such ridiculous bullshit.

After Aonuma's recent "Link can't be a girl" nonsense, I wrote a thousand-word essay about a popular feminist Zelda fan comic hosted on Tumblr. I thought the piece would be perfect fit for a specific column run by The Mary Sue, so I submitted it to them. In response, they said that The Legend of Zelda is not relevant to their readers and that they strongly disagree with the idea that fans have agency to challenge problematic media.

Some you win, some you lose, and some make you want to burn cities to the ground.
