Put those fanfic skills to good use and join Blizzard's contest for
creative writers. Winner gets to fly to Blizzard's offices to meet with
their writing staff, plus you get a very nice replica of the mighty
sword, Frostmourne. If you love writing and cooking up what-ifs in game
stories like me, this ought to be a fun contest to joinAll you have to do is write a short story, between 3,000-10,000 words, set in the Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo universes. Deadline for entries is on April 12th, 2009, so you have less than a month to get complete your Warcraft hent. Just kidding, Blizzard will hit you across the face with Frostmourne if you submit that.
First prize is a trip to Blizzard HQ in Southern California, round trip coach air fare, two nights of lodging, and dinner with the guys at Blizzard - all worth US$ 1000. Who knows? You might make it to the team if they like you. They'll also be throwing in a replica of Frostmourne, which you can use for cosplaying, scratching your back, or poking the TV when you can't find the remote.
Seven runners-up will receive prize packs containing archive packages of Diablo, Warcraft, and StarCraft, each signed by Chris Metzen, cover artists, and the Blizzard writing staff. That's probably the best consolation prize I've seen in a long time.
So pick up your writing gear, curl up in a nice, cozy corner and start writing!

If there's one thing that annoys me it's that of people criticizing those who already know what they are doing...

also it is relevent NEWS for all because; who can enter is not limited to people who play MMORPG's, but rather ANY ONE, including ps3 owners can enter jamesbrown900.

I honestly think the reason he posted it under news is because if he posted it under the appropriate section no one would read it. So your assertion that anyone can enter is really a load of crap, anyone can enter every sweepstakes pepsi contest, essay etc.... in the world and I still wouldn't want to see it under general news.

So when you start realizing that he is really being self serving, and stop sucking up. Maybe the site can resume posting content of it's usual higher standard. If you let stuff like this go on it'll just be a muddy mess of poor quality reporting.

whitecloud, eunju, and others already told you why it's in the ps3 section, and if you refuse to believe that to go on about your rant, well, thanks for taking the time to visit the site anyway

Now could you kindly stop flaming and admit you were wrong?

Once again, there is no one section for this news, so it was put in generic news.
