    When you have roamed through the chaos realms...
    when you have visited the lands of the chaos dwarfs...
    then it's time to boldly go where no man has gone before. :D

    Alas from now on, i struggle to see higher goals. :p

    I tip my hat to you, good sir. :)

    I've already submitted to @Scalenex a possible theme. ;)

    I basically wrote the story in a single day, just one day before the deadline (already extended).
    Being in a rush, there wasn't too much time to expand the piece as i would have liked. :p

    Nothing is stopping me from revealing it now, but I'm not convinced it will lead to more entries. Sometimes a long entry window encourages procrastination and complacency, "I got plenty of time" turns into "Oops I forgot we had a contest."

    And yet you still managed to capture 50% of the total vote. Such is the awesome awe-inspiring power of THE NIGHTBRINGER. It was one of the more decisive short story contest victories.


    (yes, I'm having a great deal of fun with this) :)

    As I've already probably over-advocated the inclusion of Chaos Dwarfs, why not honour your heritage and put forth a Tomb Kings theme? The Southlands versus Nehekhara might be fun.

    I'd say you can make it happen, just start writing ;)

    Just a helpful suggestion. I've already got the Chaos Dwarfs and NIGHTBRINGER incorporated into stories without ever having to put metaphorical pen to paper.
