I know the ZAM community is full of some creative writers. Blizzard has just announced its first global writing contest, and to enter all you need to do is submit a 3,000- to 10,000-word story written in English and set in the Warcraft, StarCraft or Diablo universe. You have until April 12, so now's the time to hop on the computer or sharpen your pencils.

Since it's a contest, there are prizes involved. The grand prize winner will win a trip to Blizzard Entertainment headquarters in southern California to meet the Blizzard writing staff. The winner also gets a Frostmourne replica worth $429.

Seven runners-up up will get signed copies of archives. If you'd like to enter, here's all the rules.
