All writings will fully credit the author (name, e-mail, link to original article, etc.), and nothing will be posted without the author's consent.
Almost any kind of essay--character analysis, plot analysis, manga (sequential art) analysis, and tons of others--is fine. See Sample Topics for suggestions. No fanfiction, please. Original ideas or insight is the main criterion, so writing style is not so much a factor (although, if it's too disorganized or ranty, I may request changes, but this is probably not likely). Length is barely a factor--as long as it can get the point across.

Thanks!
