CDO Presents: Scribe's Contest I

Chaos Dwarfs Online presents: Scribe's Contest I

Welcome to the first of many fluff writing competitions to be hosted by Chaos Dwarfs Online! They are sponsored primarily by Titan Wargames and are always themed around Chaos Dwarfs.

This round's theme is Chaos Dwarf Infamous Quotes. These don't have to be Dawi Zharr or Hobgoblin words, but could also be quotes about Chaos Dwarfs as expressed by other races of the Warhammer world.

Do you like fluff, minis and medals? Perhaps you even like Sneaky Gitz, big hats, masks, flying bulls and curly beards? Then don't miss the chance to participate in this new fluff contest marathon!

Please read the general rules and guidelines before diving in, though. The guidelines contain a bunch of inspirational material to aid any participants.    :ph34r:

Deadline: 11:59 PM Nov 9th 2014 EST (Eastern Standard Timezone)

Thanks for letting us know. I am not a savvy on fluff, or English but I may give it a try. Or at least read some of the entries.

Give it a try if you like, it's easy. You can win a Dwarf lady miniature and your entry can be as short as you like it to be. After all, longer isn't the same as better. :)

I can't really say that I know enough about Chaos Dwarves to even write a paragraph.

One hour of research, and you'll be able to write a short story.

They are bearish harbingers of doom. They should be right up his alley.
It is not enough to have no ideas of your own; you must also be incapable of expressing them.

Indeed!

Scribe's Contest VII * Sports Edition *: Foul and Fumbles - Blood Bowl Chaos Dwarfs is up now! Deadline 24th of April, so move, move move!

"Goooaaal! It's a GOAL! A bloody, magnificient unparallelled goal! G-o-a-l-err-h! Did you see that, Ham?"
"Sure did, Krogg. Straight out of textbook."
"Cheatnote, rather, by the look of those fans. They're all jumping onto the pitch!"
"Hahaha, now look at that Hobgoblin run! Silly stuff. Ouch! One moment scoring, the next dead."
"Well, so is Blood Bowl, Ham."
"Indeed, Krogg! The fans have both teams surrounded, but why are the mobs attacking their own teams...?"
"Duck! Now they're throwing Gnoblars!"
"Watchout!"
"There went the cheerleaders! Yuck!"
"It's doom on the pitch today. Havoc! Bloody mayhem!"
"Sure is, Krogg."
"Now the referee's gone. In four different directions at once. Oooh, pretty nice quartering there by those Amazon fans!"
"For sure! An' do you know what those curses and obscenities are? Those vomited from tusked mouths, like that sod's blood 'n' guts spewed all over his curlybeard? D'you know what them acid words are, Krogg?"
"No, tell me, Ham!"
"Those are the last words of the players..."

No problem. Hope to see some Empire-perspective writings on CDs. Those caravans to Cathay needs touch on their realm somewhere, after all, if only in passing-by via Pig Barter. :)

It's on! One entrant (regardless of who wins) will be picked for music production, though the lyrics may be tampered with for artistic reasons. Immortalize your lyric text in metal song.

Thanks! Yep. We're in the middle of an exhaustive salvage operation on CDO. Once that is over and I've recovered, I'll try and replace lost pictures across the web. The original files and so on are safe on various backups, but replacement can't happen now. Overly busy ATM:
