Now that I have seen what the grand prize is....I don't think I have room for another sword! I have over 5000 of them as it is...

Hmm, not something about Diablo? Traitor

Lol, I know Warcraft lore alot better then Diablo and Starcraft lore. (Actually, Warcraft's what got me into Blizzard, though Starcraft and Diablo are what got me into online gaming...)

Yea, Rexxar... Mmmm... Half-orc/half-ogre goodness...

I always thought WoW's way of presenting its lore was always too interactive, if that makes sense.

I would so do this but I couldnet go anyway. I hope they have one later on on the future

If it is expenses, it is all paid.

I'd be lying if I said I never wished for something like this. As an aspiring writer who knows no one in the biz, I will have to cast my lot with the Blizz. I already know what I'll write about but it will certainly be challenging going from novel length to short story so quickly. Out of love for the art I will post the fan fic here when the contest is over so you can all read it. I hope you enjoy it when it is finished.

This got me thinking: I hope we can make a sticky or somethnig for all the entries Dfans puts in!

Oh I'm sure....but wait we don't have a fanfic section already? I would think they would go there. Oh I forgot to mention, I WAS thinking about an Uber Tristram backstory but I realized that they might want something not actually in the game. Aside from things like Zhar the Mad backstories that would work, I mean Knaak used Bartuc so why not. I like the idea of the Stygian Doll backstory I would like to read that it sounds quirky and interesting.

I wanna do this, but I'm kinda bad on the lore side since I haven't played in forever...
Plus, the last time I tried to write a story, it was either a short story or took over 50 hours.

Use the timeline on D3.com under the lore section.

I am so far up to 8,000 words :/

Sounds good to me.

Not really, this is just the first draft... I norlmaly do five, first three are rough drafts fourth is working out the bugs and the last is the story...I have a week to go :/ also I write by hand...so my final will be typed up here so there wil be another draft.

Well you sound very efficient.

ahh why no cd key

Yessir. If you're gonna do something, do it right. Farther than me. I'm still drawing out character maps. Plot's done, I'm just figuring out what equipment I should give them. That and like an idiot I find myself doing artwork for it I can never do one without the other.

Should be fun. I think everyone who writes something should post it on this site so we can read. After the contest deadline of course.

Legally I don't know if we're actually allowed to

If you read the rules, you'll notice any story sent in becomes Blizzard property. So theoretically I suppose we could get into trouble for it, though I'm not an expert in the field.

Yea, we would get in trouble. Just as if we published Rise of the Horde, it's the same thing. Though, I don't see why we couldn't make a thread for inserts, to give people a taste of what you wrote. Sites like Amazon and the like do it all the time...

I don't think you'd get into trouble for it. Just don't take credit for it i suppose...Also posting it on this forum isn't like publishing the content or anything. I dunno, it would just be cool to read what some other people wrote.
