You can guess which game world some of them are set in by the titles, but many are ambiguous. As the announcement says, Blizzard will be posting some of them online, but not all, and we might only get excerpts. It's an interesting issue; if someone wrote a great story that happened to accurately forecast Blizzard's pre-existing plans for the plot of a future game expansion, they're not going to post that one, for obvious reasons. See for yourself what you can make out of the titles, after the break.

| The first ever Blizzard Entertainment Global Writing Contest is now complete!
We would just like to say how impressed we are by the overwhelming number of high-quality entries we received. Ranging from epic to earnest and hilarious to horrific, your stories conveyed true devotion, passion, and insight. The judges went through several rounds before selecting the finalists, but in the end only the big man himself, Chris Metzen, could choose the winning entry. We would like to thank all of the contest entrants for the time and effort that they put into their stories. It is always a pleasure to see our fans demonstrate their immense creativity and talent! The grand prize winner will be flown to Blizzard Entertainment headquarters to meet the Blizzard creative writing staff, and will be the owner of a brand new shiny (and pointy) Frostmourne replica sword by Epic Weapons. Grand Prize Winner!
