Blizzard creative writing contest winners announced
Remember the Blizzard creative writing contest that happened during March and April? I'm pretty sure many of our readers entered, but for those who missed it the idea was to write a story up to 10,000 words in length and set in the Warcraft, StarCraft or Diablo universes.
Well, Nethaera finally announced the winner (a story entitled In the Shadow of the Sun by Sarah Pine), runners up and a bunch of honorable mentions via the forums. Unfortunately there's no other information about the stories themselves, which universes they are set in or what Blizzard are going to do with the winning entries (personally, I'm betting on some kind of anthology). So head on over to the forums to find out if your entry made it to runners up or got an honorable mention.

I somehow missed that I couldn't release my story without their permission (even though those sorts of provisions are common). Oops. I'll pretend that's why I didn't win. ;)
It's got its own category at http://www.flinthammer.org/ if anyone is interested in the five-part story.

if you have a look at the post at the bottom it says "edited by Bornakk"
thought that was an interested bit

It's quite anticlimatic to print the results and not say what Blizzard intends to do with them. But 'grats to the winners anyway!

The Bornakk edit was to put in the question and answer about posting non-winning entries. Nethaera's initial post was just about the winners.

Would love to read the winning stories - what's the point of a writing contest if you can't view/read the winners?

I'm a runner up! :D
As for the stories, I'm sure the winning entries and honorable mentions will see the light of day.
I'm hoping the others will too.
