I only ask that you be kind, and give me some kinda feedback if it's not too much trouble.

For $19.95 I'll print you a copy and sign it. 8-) (j/k...Superman is a copyrighted character and all rights reserved. No animals were harmed in the typing of this post. Buy REAL DC comics so that they won't sue me!) :P

Is everyone confused?

Sorry.

Here is the deal. I wrote a Superman Story. It was called Superman Sacrifice, until I found out that in 2006 DC put out a GN with the same title. I have tentatively changed it to "Choices".

Here is a brief outline:

Lex Luthor has used his ties to the current President to push the Mission to Mars agenda through-no matter the cost. Investigators discover the presence of the largest kryptonian meteor ever discovered. Obviously, Luthor is up to his old tricks, or is he? It turns out he has far more humanitarian ideas in mind. Apparently, Lex is a bit of an environmentalist. Without giving away too much, the situation ends up being that Superman is given two choices: Die or leave.

Its a very good story, if I do say so myself, and I did research on it even. Green Lantern appears, as do Batman and Wonder Woman. Unfortunately Supergirl's cat Streaky or whatever, does not. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish you gave me your e-mail sooner! :P

So, NOW who wants a copy?

How many pages is it and is it something that you could post to the board in chapters or segments the way the online "Playing God" Valiant story is being posted?

:hm: I personally think that would be a kick *SQUEE* idea. Always wanted to see a solid Fanzine section on the board.

I totally could. The only problem is-you know how slow Hobo is with the artwork. I bet he's not even started on it yet!

(I sent it to him roughly 55 seconds ago.) :roll:

So, where would I put it? :?

I could always e-mail it to someone more smarter than me...

I got a good running imagry as I read it and I'll re-read it again with my arsehole glasses for edit tomorrow but as a fan-boy I give it a solid Thumbs Up as a damn good story that you've obviously put some time, effort and craft into.

IOW: Applause
Take that you doubters! :wink:

Cuz those are 2 very different declarations, they are.

Can they all break down to awkward love scenes, and include the author as a cool character that everyone of the fictional characters loves?
