Contests


One of the fun things I'm doing on the D3 site these days is running contests. We've recently received a bunch of loot from Blizzard, and it's been amusing to think up ways to pass it out, while including a few hoops for readers to leap through. I've long enjoyed very short story contests, so we're currently running an 11-word Diablo-themed story contest, along with a fan art contest, the entries for which are, unfortunately, pretty lame thus far. Also, just this morning I put up 4 Caption This! contests, which have more than 50 replies each so far, quite a few of which are amusing. (The #2 comment on this one is my favorite so far, but I don't think I could pick it to win just because it's so non-Diablo in theme.)

One of my favorite blog reading activities is to hit the caption this posts on D-listed, ideally about once a week, when I'm buzzed late one night. They get much funnier then, and since I've long planned to have regular Caption This posts on the D3 site, the contest was a nice way to get those started.

I've still got a bunch of the Tyrael mini-pet cards, and 5 Blizzcon tickets, so more contests are in the works. Next up? Probably an LOLDiablo caption contest. I'm just debating if I should limit it to some pre-selected images, or tell people they've got carte blanch to use any officially-released screen/art/wall/etc. Or perhaps I'll include D2 screens in it as well, so people can create their own. Thanks to the handy DIY software at I Can Has Cheeseburger, people won't even need Photoshop to enter.
