Sweet crap, am I ever going to enter this thing!
Yay for Julian Drake!
This looks like fun...I think I may extend my subscription, now...
Hmm...on second thought, it's a screenshot comic. That knocks me out, too.
Hm...screenshots? Well, I guess that leaves my story out.
Oh gees, sleep vs chance to win 8800? who needs sleep!!!
Hmm, might have to give this a shot.
Question, can we include our own artwork on top of screenshot backgrounds or draw directly on top of the screenshot? Something like this... LJs
Love that chest emblem!

As long as you fit the rules, you should be good!

All submissions must be recognizable as consisting of screen shots from City of Heroes or City of Villains. Editing or moderation such as applying filters or other artistic adjustments are fine, as long as the content remains recognizable as consisting of screenshots from the games.

This sounds interesting and fun. I don't usually do this type of stuff, however I may enter.
LightHouse I do have a few questions. First, does it need to be an entire story? What I mean by this, does the story have to conclude within 8 pages, or could it end with "To Be Continued"? Also, are we allowed to get help from other players? For my story, I would need access to Keldians, however, I have yet to reach 50. Last, as long as we don't mention any copyrighted stuff, can we mention things outside of CoH/CoV? Example, for my comic book, the main hero will have come from a different dimension. This is my first time entering any contests like this, and I want to make sure I do it right.

But...

Are we in some sort of alternate dimension? Or was someone just really not paying attention? Cause I could have swore that today was TUESDAY March 27, 2007. Does this contest start on Friday? Or does it start on the 27th? I am confused.
And I know that "Technically" this doesn't matter, but this is a rather odd typo that is ALL OVER that contest info, and I just wanted to 1) bring it to their attention if it wasn't already, 2) Find out exactly when it starts, 3) make sure that the end date is not messed up too cause that could seriously upset late entries, 4) make sure I am not going crazy and that it really is Tuesday the 27th of March 2007 today. 
Thanks Lighthouse, your the best. Thanks for pointing your beacon of light this way.
And good luck to all you entering the contest. I wish you all could win.

According to the rules: 4-8 is the min/max limit. The 8 part is so everyone isn't sending in long stories that would take forever to read and would extend the judging portion much longer. I wouldn't doubt that it is also to see who can be the most creative in a limited space.
Good luck

You might want to avoid using obvious Spider-Woman and She-Venom look-alikes if you want your entry to qualify though.

Hi Lighthouse,
I'm sooo going to participate in this contest! I just wanted to know if we can add elements to our screenshots using image editing software like Photoshop, Gimp or Paintshop Pro along with our screenshots. The rules aren't clear, at least to me, whether this is permissible or not?
Darkjedi, I can only imagine what fabu stuff you're going to do /em shake in boots!
