Ahoy-hoy!
Since there's been nothing in the way of official writing competitions lately (understandable, what with all the DFC and new DZC units, etc) I'm looking to kick-start a little challenge for anyone that's interested. Just so we can all keep/get our quills sharp. Take it or leave it - there's still plenty of folk submitting stories, but I always find it's easier to get started on a story when there's a framework provided, so if you're in the mood, drop a tale on us!
Ain't no prizes on offer - just a chance to flick a few choice words explore some more of the DZC universe, and - of course - to keep on writing, and to get - and give! - some constructive feedback.
Ignore that! Prizes NOW offered for the best story! Thanks again to Novus for bringing a set of his custom DZC templates to the party.
So, how about this:
Prompt: "The day the Scourge came"
Final Submissions: 17th July
Max. Length: 750 words
Give us a story from the day of the Invasion, from the POV of one of mankind's lost children on a fallen Cradle World (or Earth), a Shaltari admiral deciding whether to engage the hostile fleet in glorious battle, or (if you can get inside the mind of a reptilian host almost fully overwhelmed by the enigmatic parasite within??), even a Scourge trooper hungering for the blood of his enemies. Anything, really - go nuts!
Cheers, and good luck!
