Where to start is the question that first comes to mind.

I didn't see where it said how to submit, was that in the article?

I'm 500 words in to my Archer and Armstrong story. I've got a nice idea, I'm just wondering how long it will be. Not sure I can reach 10,000 words with this one story.

No, I haven't read your Superman story. I've read Intelli-Corps, The Whole Enchilada, and several of your blog posts but not your Superman story. Where can I find it?

It's right here on the site somewhere, but you'd have to find it chapter by chapter. I could just e-mail it to you.

I was releasing it weekly on the boards a while back and a few guys said they liked it as much as anything going on in the real Superman comic world at the time.

E-mail sounds good. I'll send you a PM.

There's a 'short story' category as well, which is well under 10,000 words that you could submit it to if it's got the right wordcount. Can't remember what it is though, but if I remember rightly the information is in one of the links... :hm:

That's cool. The idea I have would be nice for a single issue.

I'll reread some Bendis though for ideas on how to spread it out a bit more.

"And then he kicked him again! And again! Then he kicked him one more time for good measure!"

That might work.

My story A is for Enchilada has 65,000 words. That is insane.
