From the Knutepunkt 2009 organizers:
We want your papers. We want your articles on engaging play, your well-written seductions, your entertaining and bright ideas. We will help you write them.
The working title for the Knutepunkt 2009 book is “What matters”. What really matters in larp design? What matters in larp experience? What matters for you personally? What matters for the hobby? We want to identify and document tools and methods that makes it easier to realize your larp dream. We want to make it easier to create more and better larps for more people.
The subtitle of the book is “Fun”. Fun can be serious. Fun can be subtle and sophisticated. Fun can be many-layered. But it is fun.
Our hobbies, lifestyles, art are something we love being a part of. Show us that love. We especially want articles based on personal, real experience. LARP reviews. Techniques and experiments. Reflections on a life of LARPing. Please send us your ideas as soon as possible!
Formats
We accept contributions of different lengths and genre, including journalism, photography, personal recollections and the traditional academic paper. We encourage authors to choose the size and genre that best fits their content. This year, we’re particularly looking for “one-pagers”: a statement, an observation, a question that fits onto a single page - or less
What is Knutepunkt?
Knutepunkt (Knudepunkt/Knutpunkt/
Solmukohta) is an annual Nordic festival/conference focusing on live roleplaying (larp). In recent years, Knutepunkt has been accompanied by the publication of an anthology of articles on the practice and theory of (live) role-playing. Work on the 2009 Knutepunkt in Oslo is underway. The Knutepunkt web pages can be found at knutepunkt.laiv.org.
