Fan fiction writers, gather round! Well, first, close out of all those Word documents you’ve been agonizing over for the past few months. You know the ones we’re talking about. The ones which involve throbbing. And quivering. And Sonic the Hedgehog. Why not put your unique skill set to good (and infinitely less creepy) use, and participate in Blizzard’s Global Writing Contest?

The company is accepting 2,500 to 7,500-word pieces of fiction set in the Diablo, StarCraft or WarCraft universes until August 23, 2010. The grand prize winner will receive a tour of Blizzard HQ, where they’ll meet the team’s writing staff, and will walk away with some sweet Blizzard collectibles. Also, though the contest’s FAQ doesn’t explicitly prohibit it, we’d strongly advise against sending in your steamy, Kerrigan/Thrall-fronted erotic fantasy-thriller.
