Bring on the origin stories. 
Is it ok that all the origin stories are about challenging hellions to a duel I won?

A link to format and length guidelines would help a lot.

Grudge's Origins Digitally Mastered
I was sitting on an origin story for a while now, didn't know what to do with it. I'm gonna send it, see what happens. 
Perhaps it's time to share the Origin of Sgt Liberty with more than just the Justice Server...
Sgt Liberty - 50 Martial Arts / Super Reflexes
Verdigris Eagle - 50 Archery / Energy Manipulation
Stormeye - 50 Storm Summoning / Electric Blast
Length? Format? Style? For example, writing a story for a novel I'd handle differently than writing one for a comic format.
Ohoho.

Do the comics have villian stories too or just heroes?
Ai-yah. What a floodgate I've opened.
OK, my bad for not posting the guidelines - somehow slipped my mind.
Official guidelines found here:
http://www.cityofheroes.com/communit...uidelines.html
(see this link for the fine print and more precise details, please)
To sum up:
Comic Book Fan Fiction:
* Be as creative as you want, but keep it PG-rated.
* Submissions should be in .doc, .rtf., or .txt format
* Suggested length 1000 - 2000 words.
NOTE: If your writing is very good, I will consider longer pieces (or breaking them up). But long pieces will still likely be published in 1000 - 2000 word parts, so some sense of rhythm and dynamic pacing is very important. Likewise, the longer the piece is, honestly, the less chance I'll have to read it thoroughly.
* Screenshots encouraged!
* The by-line can be your real name or a character name (or both)
Comic Book Fan Art:
* Send us your best City of Heroes-inspired artwork. Any original medium is acceptable (pen & ink, digital, oils, etc.) as long as you keep it on a PG level.
* Let us know if you want credit under your real name or a character name.
* Images should be in JPG format. The full image should be between 100 x 100 and 2000 x 2000 pixels and be less than 380KB in size.
NOTE: We may also ask for a higher resolution (300dpi) image in .tiff format so make sure you save a high-resolution version of your submission!

Style -- think short story. I don't want comic scripts, but prose fiction. Usual "rules of good writing apply." If you want to see what stories I've selected, you'll see my first community section in the PDF of comic #8 (available now off the
comic page), and also see the short pieces (Clockwork, Outcasts, Carnival of Shadows, etc.) I've written (or that Awry has, for that matter) for the website.
Does that help?
Also, Umagon asked:

Villain stories would also be fine, although will likely be harder to pull off (striking the right balance of sympathy and wicked badness).

Immensely, thanks.
May we submit a HeroCorp link?
Can you be specific about what sort of guidelines the origin stories should follow, as in length and such? And provide a link perhaps to submission guidelines?
...
Y'know, I'm not going to bother. Shinsektor wins.
He hasn't even posted here, and I already know that.

Heh... It happens. Thanks for the info.
Oy... It's the word limit that constantly keeps me from submitting anything. Every time I think "I'll just make this a short peice." It takes on a life of it's own...
*Shrugs* Oh well...

LOL! And that also happens...good luck. 
Good luck to everyone!
Hi folks,
As the (still relatively) new CoH Web Content Developer, I wanted to drop by and wave 'hi.' One of my duties is to solicit material for the Top Cow Comic Community Section.
I would like to encourage people to submit their fan stories and art to cohsubmissions@plaync.com.
I know that sometimes it is discouraging to submit something and receive no feedback for it. Quite often there just aren't enough hours in the week to give it all a proper reply. But I will endevaor to answer what I can, when I can, over the next months.
So I encourage you creatives to submit.
However, to both give direction and inspiration, I'm going to annouce "themes" and see if that helps sparks the fire. This is an experiment, and we'll see how it plays out, but initially I'd really like to see Origin Stories.
This doesn't mean you can't submit a different type of story, but Origin Stories will receive my foremost attention.
I'll annouce a new theme in roughly a month.
cheers,
Arctic Sun
