As a long time avid fanfiction reader, I have read through many fanfiction, some good, most bad. Most recently, I read PeteSkizzle's "Starcraft: Forward Unto Dawn" and Toasterman's "The Confederate." I highly suggest checking out both those books, as they were my main source of inspiration for the writing of this story.
While I loved both stories, I was slightly offset by lack of characters and character development in both fanfictions. Now, don't get me wrong, both are fantastic reads, but I just felt they could have developed a little more, a little better. I was also a bit disappointed in the lack of characters in both novels (more so in SC: FuD than the Confederate). And there, a fanfiction was born.
I have never written fanfiction in my life. I was always content to simply read and give helpful criticism and reviews. But this idea I could not pass up.
It's funny, actually. It took me longer to think of the title than the actual plot of the story. Yes, there is a new Blizzard MOBA-style game coming out shortly under the name "Heroes of the Storm" and a lot of the characters used in this fanfiction are also used in that game. Yet it felt so appropriate that I just had to use it. I hope I don't get sued by Blizzard :)
Anyhow, enough of my rambling. I humbly present for your pleasure, Heroes of the Storm.
