Undead_Lives</div>
Previous stories done by Undead_Lives can be found here:
Orcs are coming; the story \'Orcs are coming\' is about a young soldier that finds his way in the army and on the battlefield with several hostile orcs. An interesting story to read, but not easily readable in a busy mood. Best read when you have some free time and feel like reading something.
Ramblings of an old man; An interesting look at life and common questions that people ask them selves often but do not receive an answer of. Best read when you are in a normal mood and are interested in doing some thinking about something. Done excellent and definitely worthy of a look.
You can find Undead_Lives\' finished story here
<div align="center">
Hunter_Destruction</div>
A previous story done by Hunter_Destruction can be found here:
Untitled; A short story about the daily life of a person that doesn\'t like his life as much as some people want him to. If you don\'t mind reading something depressing it is highly suggested that you click the link and read through it. Despite a few grammar mistakes here and there, the story is interesting to read for those who like the genre. Best read when in either a depressing mood already (or perhaps not) or when in a very positive mood you would like to get rid off.
You can find Hunter_Destruction\'s story here
<div align="center">
SKriK</div>
No work posted on the Anvil forum before.
It\'s a teenage lovestory about a guy named Andrew Mits; 16 years old and lives with his dad and two sisters.
His maingoal in life is to become a movie director. The story begins two days after the summer semester begun. It\'s titles "An Autumn Crush" at least for now.

Kem Rixen</div>
Previous stories done by Kem Rixen can be found here:
The less-than-ordinary life of Kem Rixen; A story about a day of the life of a character. Quick to read and quick to forget because of its length, but nice if you like to read about how someone lives their life. Best read in a normal mood and not too busy to read something. Perhaps while eating lunch or dinner. Easy story to read with nothing in particular in the high lights.
Old Stories; Old stories of Kem but still nice to read. Stories are often about a fantasy race or humans, but writing ants is a new one. A good story to read whenever you feel up to it as it is easy to read and does not involve anything mind shocking. As it will not necessarily pick anyone\'s interest in particular, it can pretty much be suggested to everyone at any time.
You can find Kem Rixen\'s finished story here
<div align="center">
Fladian</div>
If, and only if; Probably the longest story available in the Stories Galore forum at Wc3Anvil but a slow but interesting story. If you don\'t mind reading a story where progress in the story is made slowly and has little action for its genre, then If, and only if is your story to read. Highly suggested to take a few hours off when you want to read this. Best read when you are bored and have a lot of free time.
Rick wake up; Again, a story about a day of someone\'s life while nothing in particular happens. If you feel up to another slow but short story, it might be a good read once.
Nothing is known about Fladian Lince\'s story yet. Fladian will not be participating in the contest.

IlidanStormrage</div>
No work posted on the Anvil forum before.
<strike>Set over ten thousand years before the events of Warcraft I, Azotha: Tribes of Kalimdor follows the journey of the Azotha humans in the final years before the Great Sundering. It shows their strife against the Aqiri in the western deserts and grass lands the against the Amani Trolls in the east, as they migrate there to settle. A:ToK is an epic tail of love, hardships, battle, and loss.</strike>
IlidanStormrage has already posted his story. You can find it here
<div align="center">
Escurial-Noxer</div>
A previous story done by Escurial-Noxer can be found here:
The eye of the storm; A very unfinished story about a character that is ready to explore his life further. An interesting short little story to read, but because it just ends at a certain spot, it is unfortunately, not very satisfying. Yet something you don\'t want to miss out off. Best read whenever you are feeling up to read a short story and are ready to be disappointed by a lack of another part of it.
"It\'s about a cheating of a city."

<div align="center">Final Note</div>
Finished stories should have their own thread and in the thread it should say that the story is for the contest. The story will then be moved to the thread where the finished stories are located. But I personally (Fladian) suggest that you don\'t do this until the contest is nearing its end.
If you are in need of help to write, or just need someone to talk to I\'m sure everyone here is free to talk to. If not, then you can always knock on the door of Fladian who will try to help in a neutral way. Do know that you are doing it on your own risk then. Even though he will help as a judge, it will also mean that there is a possibility that you (unaware) help him with his own story as well.
Posting in the thread is fine to tell about the progress, but if you want to hold a conversation, feel free to use a chatting place such as MSN, AIM or the Chatting room of Wc3Anvil, where you will find several other members of Wc3Anvil too.
I think that\'s about it, so get writing!
