I wanted to ask do the world have to be in Azeroth and where do I send my WiP to?

[Pharaoh_]

You post your WiP(s) here ;)
No, the world can be anything!

[InfinateAnswers]

I dont quite understand the theme... Write about a dead soldiers Resurrection? Nothing specific has to happen [ besides the revival ]? Can it be a fictional soldier? Does soldier make it limited being affiliated with an army?

When you mean possibly, do you mean how he died and was resurrected or what he did after he was revived?

And how do we write any lore on this?

[Grey Nightmare]

It's not a question of what you're allowed to do, it's what YOU are capable of doing.
How do you see that story? What can you come up with, in relation to that information?
As long as it refers to the resurrection, I'm sure you could put any spin you like on it, that is the freedom of writing.

“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it”

Now I rebember my eng dictation. I just got idea for this contest, problemm will be my grama xD. Just to make this clear at least 5000 words and less than 1337 mistakes (i can do it xD). And about reissurection of dead, can this be like he is transfered to undead (they are dead) and is looking for his redemption.

[Pharaoh_]

You can spin the wheel! It can either contain information about the past or the present. The past is what led to the death of the soldier and who or what resurrected him. The present is him being resurrected: what happens now, e.g. he is resurrected back in the battlefield where he died.

It can be as fictional as you like (though resurrection has already made it fictional).

Interesting theme you got there, it gives tons of possibilities, I'll join myself if I can get some spare time,

[HammerFist132]

But does it must to be someone kileed him. I has thinking like he is cursed and transformed to some kind of DEATH KNIGHT and he is looking for his redemption

[sonofjay]

@Hammerfist, do what you want that gives the Reincarnation, it can be anything, this theme is too wide that you can have tons of ideas.

[Codric]

Yeah as long as you guy dies and comes back to "life"

[clockwork2]

This seems like a interesting competition.

[lateris]
