2010 Blizzard's Global Writing Contest!

[Fierce Headmaster]

Guys, Blizzard is holding a writing contest, with the prize being an all-paid visit to their HQ plus a Frostmourne replica or a Diablo Overthrown statue. So if you know enough of any of Blizzard's 3 main franchises, Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft, give a try and write a story containing 2500-7500 words, that happens in one of those three games' universes.

"Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present the 2010 Blizzard Global Writing Contest! Once again you're called to action, to use your wits and strength, to compete for the ultimate prize."

I'll surely try writing about Diablo in this one. So, anyone interested?

 

[Fierce Headmaster]

No one, eh. More chances for me then.

 

[Rujasu]

Though interesting, I really can't bring myself to write a story right now.

 

[CryoNomad]

I can't bring myself to care about Blizzard Entertainment anymore. They died to me after 2003.

 

[Evilknightz]

Hey, where do you think they are getting the money to make new games?

Mostly from everything that's gone wrong with them after 2003.

 

[CJ1145]

I'd write something, but frankly their universes are too bland for me to be original, and at the same confusing time so expansive that it'd take days to learn it all.

 

[Fierce Headmaster]

Diablo's universe isn't bland. But yes, too expansive with all the books adding lore and retconning things here and there.

 

[Agent Griff]

So have the results been released yet?

What's wrong with WC3? Other than DotA, of course.

 

[Archonsod]

It's a fairly generic RTS piece of wank?

 

[Evilknightz]

Well, it might be my bias, considering I usually rate the engine when it comes to Blizzard games.

 

[Elenmmare]

So have the results been released yet?

Not yet.

I would never write something like this. I've experienced a dramatic shift away from bland fantasy anyway, plus the prize is pretty ****.
