Well Snyggejugge did raise an intresting point. Exacly what counts as chaos? I think that for this first time, we make it so that the main characters in the story must be chaos of some kind.

I think that all the gods (even malal, hashut, lagoth & shadowlord) should be included in chaos.... Undivided aswell... & besides a story about chaos dwarfs would be so cool!!!

what about cult of pleasure? they're dark elves (so wouldn't be allowed) but follow slaanesh (so would be allowed)..

I'll make the best of my chaos-based story, I've been on this site long enough to get quite a good image of the world of chaos I think ;)

Thats 6 :P I was not counting Hashut. He may be a chaosy god, but he is not "real chaos" (Liber chaotica khorne might say otherwise, but that is written from a khornite angle)

Mainly just to keep it simple this first time.

Or perhaps we only limit it to "dark armies". Anything with an evilish theme. Even if it happens to be a High Elf army gone rouge, a Tomb King invasion force or a fat Nurgle shribe singing is merry tune (although if someone submits a 2000 words song I'll be a bit supprised). This is after all more than just pure chaos site.

1500 words, itīs no short stories there. I love to read such long stories, but the writers may struggle unless used to write so much.

For the first competition, we should keep the content about only the 5 major powers of Chaos - Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Undivided. In the future, if this goes well, we could widen it to include other Dark Armies, Neutral armies (such as the Tomb Kings), and perhaps even Light armies. We want to keep things on a manegable level.

As for the word count, 1500-2000 words is a reasonable limit. It is long enough to make things interesting while still keeping things under control. It would be hard to judge a 300 word Orc ballad against a 5000 word Tzeentchian epic. Remember, this competition is mainly to see if it can be done with relative ease. If this does not work, how do you think a larger one will?

As we have not finalized anything, DO NOT submit any work to Lightbringer as of yet. We will let you know when he and the judges are prepared to take on this mammoth task. Remember, reading dozens of stories and grading them in one night is very time consuming and tiring.

Of course, it will not take one night. Once the competition starts, you will have a while to write and send it in. And then the judges will have a while to read and judge them.
