Every hero has a legend, this much we know. But of the heroes that we know, what has led to them to their current role? This contest will resolve that.
Each entry must first state their intent to enter, upon which they will be privately given a random hero from any of the three games. You can state which game you would like a hero from, but not the specific hero. It is the up to the entrant to write a short story that tells of the circumstances that leads the hero they have been given, into the fight they are now currently involved in.
Your story should be measured with a word count (you can use http://www.wordcounter.net if you don't have a word processor with the feature). It should be no less than 2000 words, but no more than 10000. Good spelling and grammar is important, but not essential, you are being judged on your story being interesting, compelling and most of all relatable to that character.
Your story's focus is on one character, but you can include others if the are required as part of the tale. Where or when you begin the story is up to you, but it should end with the hero's decision or ultimate involvement in the main storyline of the game they are a part of.
Requirements (My lawyer made me write these)
- You have until 7th July to submit your entry (7 weeks).
- All entries must be submitted to me via a Private Message.
- I will accept edits and updates on your entries up until the closing date. Please resend the entire entry and I will use your most recent submission.
- I need your entire entry in one PM. Sections sent separately will not be counted.
- I will perform a final word count on your entry. Entries under the minimum threshold will be disqualified.
