The World Games Convention - Chapter 1: GPW Issue 1
#1 of The World Games Convention
Decided to try my hand at a very different style of writing compared to what I've done in the past, I hope my first attempt at an epistolary works for a furry story.

Exclusive interview with Esports legend Kurt Hanson!
By Damien Wolfcrest - Esports Editor
Its always a pleasure to interview gamers at the top of their game, I usually think of my questions while on the flight to their countries, but this Wolf found it difficult to think of what to ask the Tiger gaming legend Kurt Hanson. Fortunately, several espressos on the flight got me thinking and it was with delight that on landing in Hamburg I managed to speak to Kurt himself whom I found to be as calm and caring in person as he is at his tournaments.
"Honestly, I'm quite upset that not only Hamburg, but no German city was selected in hosting the World Games Convention. But I am certain that the whole event will be extremely fun and awesome!" Is what Mr Hanson had said before I had begun asking questions. When asking him if he was attending he went on to say. "Oh yeah, just try and stop me, I'm making an appearance at Copenhagen, I have many fans there who have been so good and supportive, and I can't wait to meet them all it should be a blast!"
There was no quelling Kurt's enthusiasm, though disheartened from the choice of Copenhagen and London as the WGC's Europe locations, he even gave us a teaser of something the tiger will be doing at Copenhagen.
"I will be doing a charity auction, raising money for a charity that I haven't quite decided yet. There will be more on this on my social media once its set-in stone, but there will be some cool items going on auction, most being signed or having some gaming use, perhaps a few pieces of hardware!"
Well, we will all be looking forward to that. I tried my best to get Kurt to spill more but he insisted he had to get some more practice in before his next unspecified match.
