MMORPG.com World of Warcraft Correspondent James Jackson tried his hand at a little bit of World of Warcraft fiction writing as he follows the career of a Gnome named Tinkerspell.

Tinkerspell looks over a small valley with wolves and strange humanoid creatures meandering about with interest. A nearby gnome catches her attention, and sure enough there is a quest to dispatch a bunch of these bothersome wolves. However before Tinkerspell can move, a massive Flag drops down in front of her. A fellow Gnome wishes to duel. This warlock is more powerful but still not too far ahead of Tinkerspell in experience. The duel starts seeing the warlock open up by casting corruption following by a shadow bolt just as Tinkerspell’s own fireball launches. She surprises the Warlock, and herself, by delivering a devastating blow. The second fireball sees the Warlock running away. With her own life diminishing from the Warlock’s corruption and Shadow bolts, she chases the Warlock down and beats him into submission with her mace. The humbled Warlock runs off as soon he is able, not even bothering to eat or drink to replenish his life or mana. Tinkerspell has a little ‘flex’ of her muscles at the retreating Warlock who is never to be seen again throughout her adventures.

The early times go so fast, with many basic quests to collect lost items, or to dispatch various nasty critters. Without even noticing, Tinkerspell reaches a crucial early stage of her development. Now is the time to plan a trip to Ironforge to learn her trade skills.

Read the story here.

Fanfics... on a news page? At least guides/experiences have information in them, even if it is a bit of a stretch to put on a news page. But this? I don't care how good the writer is, a fic is a fic and it doesn't belong on a news page.

What's next, IllidanXMalfurion?

*shrug* Just trying something new. If it doesn't stick, it doesn't stick.

I thought it was pretty good myself.  Nothing wrong with including a fans view article.

Is it really a fanfic if it actually happened in-game?

Sounds more like journalism to me and if you don't think journalism is news pick up a newspaper sometime.

Maybe create a new in-game journal or travel log section on MMORPG.com?
