Insane until further notice.
Ok, so this is COTECS first ever fluff competition! Basically, you will send a piece of fluff to Lightbringer who will pass it on to the judges.
(Edit from LB: Just so you know, I would much rather have them as PMs here on cotec than on mail, and remember you can't send the entries directly to the judges, see rule 5),

EDIT:YOU HAVE LESS THAN A WEEK TO SUBMIT YOUR FLUFF! SEND IT IN TO LIGHTBRINGER UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY!!!!
The rules are as follows:


§1 All stories must be written by the one that enters them into the competition, you cannot submit an entry for someone else.

§2 The stories must be set in the Warhammer Fantasy world, and must be about chaos in some way (Only Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Undivided). It can be about a village attacked by chaos forces, the chaos forces doing the attacking, a deamon, a priest hunting said deamon or anything else where chaos plays a major part in the story. Also, you may not center your story around official GW characters.

§3 Entries must be between 1500 and 2000 words. To avoid misunderstandings different interpretations and arguments this interval is absolute, if you are one word over, you must remove one word.

§4 No "to be continued" or continuations from old stories are allowed. Your entry must be able to stand on its own, with a propper beginning and ending.

§5 All entries will be given to the judges without the name of the author to ensure that judging is unbiased, therefore you may not use characters you have used before in other stories rules or posts, since this would give away your identity to the judge.

§6 During the competition, you are not allowed to post your fluff here or on any other site, nor comment about its content. Doing so will get you disqualified. After the competition is complete, you will of course be free to do what you want with your story.

§7 Once you have submitted an entry, it is final. You cannot change into another text or change the text you submitted.


The entries will be earn points in three categories. How well it is written, how good the story is, and how inspirational it is. Each categories can earn you between 0 and 5 points, meaning your total score will range from 0-15.

§ Writing Skill: How well does the story convey they feeling of another world, how much does it make you a part of the story instead of just making you the observer? Spelling will not in general give you lower points (since not all people have English as first language), but at least spell check it with the computer.

§ Story: How original is it, does it have a good plot and good characters? Your score will be lowered if the story is not believable, or does not properly fit, in the Warhammer world.

§ Inspiration: Did it make you go Wow! Did it make you want to create something of your own, paint or convert something, or perhaps read more fluff? How inspiring was it?

§ Once the judging is over, all stories, with their ranking, will be posted by the organizer at the Cotec forums.

The organizers are as follows

§ Organizer – Lightbringer
§ Judges – Lord Marixis, Whitethunder500, rogge_85

From now you have 4 weeks to write your fluff, and pm it to Lightbringer. So in actual fact, the competition will end on 14th February.

So get writin' ;)

Btw, full credit for writing the rules and guidelines goes to Lightbringer

There is now only 2 days to submit entries. And unfortunatly, unless we get some in, the contest must be called off. With only 1 entry so far, it would be a bit of a dull competition ;)
