Welcome to Tportstick Voice: Where Your Words Fuel Play
At Tportstick, we believe every controller pulse and every high-frame flick has a story. That’s why we launched Tportstick Voice—our call to writers, thinkers, and creators to share their perspectives and help shape the next era of play. Whether you’ve dissected every esports patch note or performed surgery on a three-prong analog shell, your insight matters here. Founded by the visionary Yvendra Velmoria, Tportstick exists to bring depth to gaming culture: through mechanics deconstructed, strategy elevated, and every mod or meta discussed with clarity and care.
From our HQ nestled at 3388 Heavens Way, Tampa, Florida, we operate from 9 AM to 5 PM, but our digital doors are always open. We know that some of the best takes are scribbled while patching a thumbstick or diagramming a split-second combo at 2 AM. That’s why we invite you to take your voice—the one that’s analyzed damage scaling or re-imagined accessibility for stick-based play—and write with us.
Your Voice Can Shift the Game
Gaming changes on a dime. Patches drop. Metas shift. And in between the updates, serious players want conversation—not just headlines. Tportstick Voice isn’t just a contribution page; it’s a place where deep knowledge meets genuine passion. If your expertise lives in controller modding, tournament prep, sensory optimization, or loadout theorycrafting, your article could be the next spark that teaches, questions, inspires.
We’re calling on:
- Techie Tinkerers: Do your drift-fixes work better than factory defaults? Share your method.
- Esports Analysts: Outlining meta-evolutions and team shifts? Break it down for players hungry to learn.
- Strategy Scribes: Can you untangle why a move works frame-for-frame? Teach nuance to those who want to climb.
- Community Dreamers: Want to speak on how controller design shapes accessibility or inclusion? We want those words loud and proud.
Hope-Led Editing: What You Write Matters
We don’t just publish content. We champion it. Our editorial process is hope-led, focused on elevating every contributor. That means your voice won’t be smoothed out or lost—it’ll be amplified. We’ll work with you to refine your structure, cite your insights, and ensure your unique take finds the community it seeks. At Tportstick, we lead with trust, inviting you to draft from a place of heart and knowledge.
We’re not interested in filler—we seek substance. Whether it’s a breakdown of stick tension benefits or tournament preparedness cycles, your article might help a weekend player cut their lag in half or inspire a teen to pursue esports full-time. Every insight has the potential to shift something real.
Submission Guidelines
Do you have a piece in the works or an idea that just needs a little coaxing from controller callused fingers to keyboard? Here’s how to make it happen:
- Length: Ideally 800–1,300 words. Thoughtful depth over word count.
- Format: Submit in plain text or Google Docs format. Include any links, images, or attributions.
- Topics We Love: Stick retrofits, reaction timing hacks, cross-platform control setups, gameplay precision workflows, pro-level decision trees.
- Voice: Be you. Whether you’re retrospective, technical, or poetic, bring authenticity. We polish, not rewrite.
Send your pitch or finished article to [email protected]. Got a question first? Don’t hesitate—just email us and we’ll talk through it. Sometimes the best creations start as a shared idea.
What We Offer in Return
- Visibility with Intention: Your byline and insight shared with gamers and modders looking for the real deal.
- Community Reach: We’ll showcase your piece across our networks that value skill, research, and passion.
- Editorial Support: Careful editing and feedback from a team that understands the controller-community landscape.
- Possibility for Ongoing Collaboration: We often welcome returning contributors to tackle series themes, interviews, or deeper dives.
Why This Matters
In gaming, precision is everything. But just beneath the clutch combo or the pixel-perfect aim lies a thought—a moment of insight. At Tportstick, we believe in making space for those moments. We believe in preserving player ingenuity. And we believe in elevating the kind of knowledge that gets passed game to game, patch to patch, one modder’s bench to another’s build suite.
This isn’t just about clicks. It’s about showing up with your map of insights and showing others the way. Idealism? Maybe. Impact? Absolutely.
