About

Do you play video games? Do you write? Can you write in the games you play? A book and quill. A chat window. A pixel canvas. Lines of text that scroll away before anyone reads them.
Chat Log is a literary magazine for the writing that happens inside these digital spaces. We want work that lives in the margins of gaming. The code that developers never intended for the literary. Poems. Flash fiction. Something in between. Captured in images inside video games.
We're not interested in writing about games. We're interested in what happens when writers use them for their craft.
