The Zocho recently had a chance to talk to Chuck Kallenbach, a very well known figure in the TCG industry (I only refrain from saying "legend" to avoid brown-nosing) who was the brand manager on the WARS property with Decipher. He wrote several WARS short stories, and was the author of the comprehensive WARS fiction timeline. It was a real treat to get to talk to him, as he worked on not only WARS but other tcgs such as Decipher's Star Wars and Lord of the Rings games, as well as tcgs for Sony Online Entertainment. So without further adieu: READ IT HERE! http://thezocho.weebly.com/chuck-kallenback-interview.html Last week we announced our WARS fan fiction contest to promote Grail Quest Book's release of "WARS: The Battle of Phobos Vol.1 Preludes", offering a cards and a T-Shirt if you wrote a WARS story and put a post up on your wall about the novella's release, linking to the wars page. Well today we have a new announcement, and some of your minds might be blown. The winner of the Zocho WARS fanfiction contest will get their story submitted to Decipher for potential inclusion in an upcoming short story anthology. Yeah. You read that right. Note that it is potential, not guarunteed, and also take note you will not recieve finacial compensation for the story. You will however have the chance to be published in the same anthology as writers like Michael A. Stackpole, Chuck Kallenbach, Mark Tuttle, as well as the authors of the Battle of Phobos novella series, and te upcoming comic series. Heres the fine print: Winning entry will be submitted to Grail Quest Books & Decipher, Inc. for consideration of publication in the upcoming WARS anthology. Winning does not guarantee inclusion into stated anthology, nor that it is considered official WARS canon if not included in a Decipher-approved publication. Further, publication of winning entry in a Decipher-approved publication in no way includes an agreement to financial compensation, or any other compensation related to said publication of entry. Winning entrant will sign a written agreement acknowledging these terms before entry is submitted for approval.
