20/10/2006 : Short Story Competition

There was a huge last minute rush of entries for the Warhammer short story competition. In the end, we received well over 300 entries - so thanks to all of you who took the time and effort to respond. Over the next couple of weeks we'll be going through the entries, winnowing out the wheat from the chaff. Skaven stories appear to be the most popular at the moment, but we won't get a clear view until we've been through them all. And to the person who submitted a Dark Angels story idea - erm, thanks, but not really appropriate for a fantasy anthology. :-)


I thought they were supposed to contact every winner before oct.24 :huh:
does this mean I lost?

I guess so, I didn't make the cut either...
I think it was because our stories were too good and they would of put all the other writers out of business
:P

If you'd be one of those that is chosen to write a full piece for the book, then you'd be contacted WITHIN two weeks after the 11th of October, which was up to yesterday... Though, for those that have a full story that could be published, there is always the Skavenblight Gazette (UE.net online magazine) that is searching for articles to publish. If you're interested, I'd say you can contact Sebrent whom is lead editor.

wow tho 300 entries

I dont know they might hold onto the skaven stories... we are popular after all. I just think its hard on us as we may have focused on skaven but the goodies might have focused else where...

should/might want to give blacklibary some more time to see if they are going to do anything with the "excess skaven" entries before we give up hope of seeing our words in print.

What about we send them in the campaign mail and then show all entries right after the last turn update?

*is just thinking of ways to get more status with it*

Wow 300! Thats awsome! Hopefully theirs still a chance for someone from here

Though I figure we'll get maybe one of the Skaven stories in it if were lucky given GW and Black Library's disposition on stories told from the human perspective... <_<

Bit of a shameless bump after app. half a year, but this one could be interesting for some. ;)

Invasion!
Marc Gascoigne: Jul 07 (UK)

A superb anthology boasting some of the Black Library’s best-loved authors.

Invasion! Is an exciting collection of short stories set in the fantastical Warhammer World – a world where man is beset on all sides by invading monsters and from within by the insidious forces of Chaos. Exploring the theme of invasion, both literally and metaphorically, this collection features a linked pair of special elf tales by Mike Lee (co-author of Darkblade) and Nathan long (Blackhearts series, Orcslayer). From the shores of Naggaroth, the Land of Chill, to the dark forests that lie at the heart of the Empire, these tales will thrill and entertain.

Battle rages across the Old World. Take up your arms. It is time for war.

Read a sample extract for free!

Enjoy the read...

But really, were those the ones that got chosen? Maybe they pick up a little later along... :unsure:
