In most cases, it is poorly written law that results in confusion whether Blizz's competition constitutes an illegal lottery in such locations.

Damnit, they killed illidan and arthas off so people couldnt submit their yaoi fanfics.

GL to anyone entering, win it for TL! The prizes are kind of lame though.

I think anyone who stands a chance of winning this sees meeting the Blizzard writing staff as anything else than lame.

Yep. Write your state legislature because these garbage laws have been around for years.

I think the prize should include some money or a nice computer. How much do you think you would be-able to sell that diablo 3 diorama or the sword for?

Write fanfic and win a trip to Cali? Has Blizzard lost it or are they just ashamed of their writing staff?

"So Kerrigan and Raynor were cruising the deserts of Tarsonis on a vulture, doing an easy 800km/h when alluvasudden zERGRUSHkekekeke..."

This could be fun.

I took WR 224 and WR 324 (both short story fiction classes) so I'm going to give this contest a try. Alas, my college education is not going to waste.

You will be mine!
