| Writers New & Old - Alternative Nation Needs You
I have recently taken over the running of the Alternative Nation magazine and now my search is on to discover new writing talent. With 17000 plus members, I am sure there are some people out there who would like to try their hand at writing for this site.
We have some great writers but there is certainly room for more. What you write about is pretty much up to you.
Been to a great gig? Have you seen a film that has inspired you or entertained you or even been a huge disappointment? Read a book that you would love to recommend to others? Played a great game? Is there something in the news that you feel that you really want to discuss in an editorial? Have you written something for university/school/yourself that you would like others to read?
This is your opportunity to get involved.
Please reply below and tell me if you are interested or send me a PM. If you are not a budding writer but have ideas on articles you would like to see then post them below.

Good idea, new patch and a shitload of stuff could make for a half decent thread

all i could write about is art, tokidoki, kidrobot and suchlike and things which fail to interest the masses.
I might take pictures of things and con someone else with the promise of cookies to write things to go alongside it though. | |

I could write an article about why Posh is so fat but it would only have two words. 'Pizza' and 'pies'.

I was gonna suggest - why dont we do a 'review your favourite film?'
We could run a vote for best.

We could run a vote for best. | Reviews of people's least favourite film would probably be far more entertaining. | |
