For those of you that missed the mention, I have a Celestial Steed loot key to award to one lucky winner. Thanks to lawman30’s creative input, I’ve settled upon an idea for the contest. It is to be a creative writing essay about how you tamed the mount.
Yes… tamed. This is a hunter-exclusive competition. You don’t necessarily need to have an 80 hunter to enter, but if you win, you’d better at least have a level 20 hunter that can saddle up on this mount for a screenshot.
Celestial Steed Contest Rules
- Write a short story about your adventures encountering, then taming this beautiful mount. Send the story here.
- Stories should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,500 to 3,000 words.
- Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation are a huge plus. The winning submission will be published on here for thousands to read, so try to have it post-ready.
- Screenshots helping to paint the story are another huge plus.
- Get the story and screenshots to me by May 20th at 12 am. You have one week.
- The winner of the contest is to submit an additional screenshot once they’ve redeemed their prize, with their hunter mounted on the steed.
- Contest is open to players on US servers only. Sorry EU peeps. 🙁
As I mentioned in the contest rules, after the winner has redeemed their mount, they are to send me one final screenshot or two with them poised atop their new winged horsey. Once I receive those, I will prepare and then publish the story for all to see. Should be fun. 😀
Good luck to all those who enter!
Contact me if you have any questions.

May 19, 2010 at 10:28 amSweet! I had a harder time trying to send the email than I did actually writing the story. =P Ah well…we all have our own areas of expertise, i guess.
GL to all who took advantage of this. I hope we at least gave Gar enough stuff to read that he can sit down with a stack of stories, a cold brew and tell the wife “what….it’s work.” =P
Garwulf says
May 19, 2010 at 12:06 pmThat’s right… “quit peerin’ over my shoulda… can’t you see I’m workin’ here..?! Go make yourself useful and grab me a brew..” I got a long night ahead o’ me of readin’ RP fantasy and doing in-game ‘R&D’…”
She’d so smack me if she saw this. 😆

Garwulf says
May 15, 2010 at 9:57 amI’m sorry traveler. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do to accommodate anyone outside of a US account. 🙁 I’d like to be able to offer the prizes to anyone, but Blizz won’t let me.
