Hey everybody!
So here's the deal: I've been working on a Dragon Quest book for a while now. Part of it is my own thoughts on the series, along with some stuff pulled from this site and the Dragon Quest FM podcast. And part of it is reflections and interviews with people from all over the fandom, from YouTubers, streamers, podcasters, collectors, cosplayers, and more!
The book itself is a celebration of the fandom in the West, and this is where YOU (yeah, you) come in. I'm encouraging lots of people to share their stories. Let me know how you got into Dragon Quest, or maybe even how the series impacted you in a positive way. Whether you've been into the series for 30 years or 30 minutes, let me know why you love Dragon Quest!
I've set up an email just for the book. So if you'd like to share your story, please send an email to dragonquestaustin@gmail.com.
Here's some other details to know before you send an email:
In sharing your story, it may be published for anyone to see. Please provide a full name, first name only, or username in the email so you can be credited. If you wish to be anonymous, that's fine too, but you need to specify you want anonymity. Additionally, some of the stories shared may be edited and trimmed as needed for space.
I can't promise that ALL of your stories will make it into the book, but I'll try to fit as many as I can! Thanks, and I look forward to reading them!
–Austin
I would love to participate. Which is the deadline for submitting our story?
Great question! I’ll be gathering the submissions over the next two weeks. Thanks!
