The confirmed writers for the 5 short stories are:

Spudsy & Nepath
SympleSymon
Abt_Nihil
Literacysuks1
Alschroeder

Each person has submitted a character, as I understand it the following characters are being used…Fearless, Mind Mistress, Relik, Bombshell & Calvin Ellis.

With the exception of Literacysuks1, I will be assigning each writer a character to work with for you story, it must be between 10-15 pages in length and it is down to you to recruit the artists. Although I am offering to colour the artwork of anyone who works in B&W.

Literacysuks1 will be the only one working with his own charcter 'Calvin Ellis'. Reasons for this to be revealed at a later date!

In the coming days I will start a new thread per 'Chapter' for each writer and will confirm the characters then!!

Thanks

Anything tying these stories together? I know it's more or less solo stories, but is there any common theme or McGuffin they're looking for? Or maybe a larger villain, behind the individual opponents they're facing? After all, this is Heroes UNITE, so at the very least on some level there should be something uniting the stories. Otherwise it might as well just appear in the individual webcomics…

So I'm artist AND writer unless I can recruit someone else for the Bombshell feature? Any suggestions on artist?

What date we shooting for? I know it depends on the two features before it, but I've got a lot of stuff going on—Mindmistress, Flickerflame, Crossoverlord–so just a general timeframe would help. Any general idea?

And please note…I throw out ideas like confetti, and I'm NOT shy about speaking my mind. So I hope that's not a problem.

I think it might be a good idea to give links to where the individual comic characters we're using ARE. For instance, I know where Bombshell is, but I have no idea where Calvin Ellis and a few others are. And it might be a good idea (for me at least) to familiarize ourselves with the other characters.

I'll start. Since mine is a Comicgenesis comic, although CROSSOVERLORD is on Drunkduck, some of you might not be familiar with it. Mindmistress is at http://mindmistress.comicgenesis.com. Any writers who'll use her are strongly recommended to go to "Everything you wanted to know about Mindmistress" section. And please email or address on the forum any questions about how she can be used.

@Alshcroeder:
Timeframe - I know that EGO is being drawn now and has a deadline of 1 month. I would think that The Darkness Within will take a couple of months to get drawn. All in all, The Chronicles is slated for early as possible next year.

The main thing is that The Darkness Within is just short of 90 pages long and i am hoping to update this daily. So even then it will take 3 months to air.

Hope this helps
