<https://multiplaynetwork.org/cfp-journals/> is delighted to announce a 
new special collection journal, in partnership with the Journal of Geek

journal. The abstracts should be no more than 300 words, accompanied 
with an author biography of 100 words. These should be emailed to 
(networkmultiplay /at/ gmail.com) with the subject heading ‘The Last of Us’ 
*The deadline for abstracts is Friday 25th of March 2022*. If your 
proposal is accepted, you will then be required to write an article of 
between 6,000 – 7,000 words. We will inform you of the in-house style 
guide and any additional information upon acceptance.
