Blizzard's 2010 Global Writing Contest Begins

Enter your fiction for a chance to meet Blizzard writers... and receive a sword.

Blizzard Entertainment is entertaining the idea of rewarding those who write romantic slash fiction pieces set in the World of Warcraft universe--you know, the ones where the thickly-muscled Orc meets the dainty, golden-haired Elf of his dreams while smashing plates at a Druid's wedding? Yeah, those. The studio has kicked off its 2010 Global Writing Contest, a contest that asks would-be authors to submit fiction based in one of three select Blizzard universes  for a chance to win hip prizes.

Starting now, the studio wants 2,500-7,500-word short stories based in the Diablo, StarCraft or Warcraft universes. If your piece is picked, you'll win a trip to Blizzard HQ in sunny southern California, where you'll meet some Blizzard writers and receive either a Diablo III "Overthrown" barbarian diorama or a Frostmourne sword.

Seven runners-up will receive prize packages containing the Diablo Archive, the Warcraft Archive, the StarCraft Archive, and the Warcraft: War of the Ancients Archive--all signed by various members of Blizzard.

If this sounds like your jam, then follow this link to the FAQ. You'll get all the information you need.
