Hi speedy people, I'm currently writing an article for a local games magazine about Speed Running (in the hopes that it gets printed, don't think I'm some professional journalist). I'm probably about 3/4 of the way through the first draft at present, and I just wanted to ask for anybody who wants to see my WIP, to either post here or pm me. The article focuses on 'traditional' speedrunning, but includes info on TAS running as well. As such I would like to make sure that you guys agree with what I have said, and to point out any factual innaccuracies, areas that should be focussed on etc you see. Any help you guys could give me would be very much appreciated. I'm not posting the WIP online on the off chance that the editors of the magazine see it, which would sort of lower the chances of me getting paid for the article. (If anyone's interested, the magazine in question is an Australian publication by the name of Hyper. Obviously this means the potential circulation for the article is somewhat small, but hey, any help is good right?)

I'll be glad to read it for you. I've written a large chunk of the Speedrun article on Wikipedia, so I've had to revert wrongful information or POV before. I'll be sure to catch any that might have snuck into your article. You can post it here, PM it, or e-mail it to michiel AT thingmajig DOT org. EDIT: yes, I know that the neutrality of the tool-assistance section is disputed. I placed the tag there myself. I'm going to work on that section later.
