Full Version: 'Death and Dishonor' Short Story Competition
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
On the Black Library Homepage, they have noted that there is a short story competition called 'Death and Dishonor.' It's...well, you can read the details on their site. I plan on entering, but I have no idea what to write about. Perhaps someone could write a story relating to Chaos Dwarves and get it in the book! That would do some serious good for Chaos Dwarf publicity.
Cool, Thanks for putting that out.

Also, welcome to CDO!
sounds great, will most likely enter
Link.

I'm kind of tempted to send them the story I've written for the webzine, as it fits the criteria.
Lot of work or just 210 quid, but i suppose the real rewards getting published by BL
the link doesn't work tommy.h

According to the website, this is actually how they recruit new authors anyway. The real prize would be getting published and potentially commissioned to write more stuff for them. Not that my dream is to write genre fiction or anything, but getting a foot in the door of professional writing is worth a lot to me, even if it's the weird back door covered in gargoyles and gothic runes Tongue

And the link works for me, Kera.

Ah, now that seems a bit more appealing. Shame i'm moving to France tomorrow and it's going to be hectic over the next couple of weeks otherwise i'd probably have entered.

I also like how they said "humans, dwarfs or elves; good or bad" rather than "humans, elves - good or bad - or dwarfs". The future's bright for CD's
Yeah, that caught my eye too. I'm just lucky the two-part story (coming to about 5,000+ words in total) I already wrote is set in The Empire, or I'd have to write something from scratch for this.

If I win though, Word of Hashut will have the exclusive third-part!

Anyway, does this link work, Kera?
all i get is request Denied !!!This must be a gw link i get the same from them.
thanks Tommy h
darn i wanted to write about greenskin Mad
well you can godbob. Remember, the protagonists have to be human/dwarf/elf. The antagonists can be anything you want them to be
As its set in the empire you could have Chaos Dwarfs as DoW for Mortal Chaos armies, Just a ponder.
i found it i went into the gw site Yea

i wanted to write about an orc pirate who sails across the sea

now a nameTongue

Sounds good. Alas, I'm not of lengthy writing style... Uness, my Twilight Campaign ramblings are long enough and can be adapted well enough to fit into the storyline... Either way, CD mentions in the stories are great, even if it's not a major role...
Nice!  time to dust off Fate's Hand and Voorigar, the two stories I had rejected because CD were in them... lol
that's the spirit, spit in their faces.. lol
I won't tell anyone either..
Well, I couldn't come up with anything good, but I did enter something nonetheless...deadline is in 4 days, hopefully I'll be able to come up with something else by then, as you can enter two entries.
