I think its a wonderful thing your doing. I hate looking at someones info and it being blank. My only other complaint is the space is to limited. Have fun, and thanks be to you.
P.P. can someone teach me how to read?
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?
Hey Vickie, its Edahiko. Haven't seen you on much lately. I figure you've been playing an alt. Drop me a PM if you wanna hook up again.
"If I didn't enjoy the ludicrous mayhem of an 8-person pick-up team and my eventual glorious triumph over seemingly impossible odds bereft of lucid and competant comrades, I would have left this game a long time ago. " - mean_liar
Wow, what a generous idea.
I have writer's block on one of my alts (Freedom Jones) I may consult with you on.
Nice idea.
As I have often said; No description, no hero.
But don't trust that Leone' guy! He's a bit shifty...

@MadGremlin
I also have an alt I might get your help with.
That is a pretty awesome idea, and thing for you to do Vickie.
If you're open to doing this for people on other servers, I could certainly use your assistance coming up with a background for my character on Pinnacle. My global chat handle is @Bloodburner.
My current bio is.....somewhat lacking. 
Nice to see another pro sf/f writer around here. Though, given our mutual habits for storytelling, if you're going to find us anywhere, it'd be in the role-playing forum. 
Of course, now you're going to drop the bomb and say you're Harry Turtledove (who's been doing some CoH fanfic, I've noticed), or some other author I have to nudge my agent about and say "See?! See?! Why can't you find me gigs like THAT?"
Turtledove's been doing CoH fanfics??? Where??

Right in the City of Heroes comic books; check the written stories.
I had to disable my account back in February. I haven't received a comic since then. I just recently (in the last 2 weeks) reactivated my account. I'll be looking for the new issues.

Bracing myself, here...I am (yes, really) a pro sf/f fantasy writer (and moderators feel free to email me and I will verify this to your satisfaction). I just started playing this game two weeks ago ("Hi, my name is VickieVee and I'm a CoH addict." "Hi Vickie."), and because I am a storyteller in rl, I naturally lean towards incorporating story and backstory into my gaming.
I know there are a lot of other people out there who feel the same, but some of you also feel intimidated when presented with the blank bio box. I would like to help you get your ideas out of your subconscious (yes, they really are there) and into words. I've done some test-runs on Virtue of helping people out (over 5 satisfied customers!) and it seems to work well. Above all, it's given the people I've helped out a lot of satisfaction, which is my sole intent. I'm not doing this for profit, to shill my rl work, to garner great huge steaming heaps of Influence, or anything else. I like doing this because I never get to do superhero fiction in real life, because I love this game and the people who play it are amazingly considerate and kind, and because it gets people involved in the creative process for themselves, (which is always a rush, and makes them happy, which makes me happy).
It's a simple process, a meet-up, and a series of leading questions to bring what your character is out into the sunlight. If you have a character more or less blocked out, but also a writers' block, I may be able to unstick you. What I can't and won't do is read or critique your fiction; sorry about that, but my agent has already been involved in one "you stole my idea!" debacle involving another of his clients a while back, and has threatened to make any of us who read unsolicited fiction into galley slaves. Since I don't fancy spending my declining years fastened to an oar.....
At any rate, if you would like some help, give me a buzz at victoriavictrix at gmail dot com and we'll see if we can't get some word-magic happening for you.
