Finally got the story I wanted created published. Here's my Entry:
Arc Name: The Lure of the Carnival
Author: @Hericane
Publish Number: 92202
Description: The Carnival of Shadows strike Paragon City, and has something in store for its heroes. (Note: one of the map locations doesn't make sense I know, but the Carnival unique map isn't available and the Dance Rave map didn't allow what I needed.)
Length: Very Long (5 missions)
MA Arcs - #67636, #92202

Slag Heap: Why you hurt Guardian!? Guardian no hurt you!
Thanks for the entries. It's beginning to look like a contest now at least 
And Morgenstern, I actually played your arc with the prisoners already and have it rated also so I'd be willing to accept it as an entry if you so desire.
While I've been making small refinements to the storyline and dialogue since it went live, I'd be happy to be allowed to compete based on an earlier version if the Prisoners aren't available again before the deadline - thank you .
Here's my submission:
Arc Name: Teen Phalanx Forever!
Arc ID: 67335
Faction: Vahzilok, Clockwork, Freakshow, Rogue Robots
Creator Global/Forum Name: @PW / PoliceWoman
Difficulty Level: Moderate; there is one AV/EB per mission, but they are intentionally easy AVs/EBs (NOT customized), and allies are present to help.
Synopsis: The Teen Phalanx is on a recruitment drive, and they've extended an invitation to a teen version of your hero to try out! Do you have what it takes to join Paragon City's most prestigious teen superhero team?
Morality: Heroic
Estimated Time to Play: 4 missions, estimate 60-90 mins.
Level range: 15-20, 20, 20-25, 29-30 (mission levels gradually increase to "level" you up)
@PW - Police Woman (50 AR/dev blaster on Liberty)
TALOS - PW war journal - alternate contact tree using MA story arcs
=VICE= "Give me Liberty, or give me debt!"
Not to put a crimp on this or anything, but aren't entries supposed to be in a PM to Projectionist?
I do like the variety of arcs listed though. It gives me a list to play through as well.
"It's hard for you to be yourself, if you don't know who you really are."
Here is my first one.
Arc Name: Operation: Undertow
Arc ID: 81942
Faction: Neutral
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Dragon King
Difficulty Level: Easy to Hard depending on your difficulty settings. Several bosses and only one EB in the entire arc. Meant to be lowbie and solo friendly for all AT's.
Synopsis: Help find Undertow and stop her at all cost!!!
Estimated Time To Play: 5 missions - 45 to 60 minutes
Enemy Groups: Family, Sky Raiders, Freakshow Custom Group, Longbow.
Further Comments: one EB but there is an ally to help if needed. There are level gaps but was done trying to keep the flavor of the story. Tested with low and high characters.
Dragon-King First level 50 -- Fire/Nrg Blaster
(and to many alts to mention)

Since I recently found out that MA arcs are shared between US and EU servers, I invited our European brethren to participate in the contest.
Here is a copy of a post I made on the EU forum to answer some questions about the prizes:
[ QUOTE ]
It can be your own character, those of a friend or a canon NPC (not that many will want a Statesman figure, I suspect).
If it's not your own character I might pose restrictions on how you wish for it to be depicted unless you get permission from the owner (no extreme lewdness, maiming etc. For your own characters no such limitations exist 
). This enables you get something as surprise gift art for a friend as long as I have no reason to suspect it wont be received amiably by the person.
Nothing is ready-made. You will be in on the design from start and get drafts for approval.
The figurines are mainly made in Sculptey-clay. Mixed-media refers to the fact that I might use metal, plastic, fabric etc for details. Since the figures wont be designed for mass producing/molding theres no limit on the amount of details and surface textures that can be put on it.
The figurines will be painted and lacquered unless otherwise desired.
Mini-diorama refers to an extended base of the figurine that can have additional sculpted elements (a defeated clockwork, your favorite base floor tile, a small Wentworths building making your character look like a giant, etc)
Im sorry I dont have any examples of figurines to show you. Its been a long time since I made any but recently decided to start working with them again. I have some practice pieces planned and I suspect the prize figurines will take considerable time to make.
Yes, Leese explained the bit about the in-game tells. All communication with EU will be resolved by PMs and public postings on the UK forum. Since I might revisit your arc several times before the final decision and arcs can be edited and republished, I wont leave any comments until after the contest is over. I will then give any feedback you like, either privately or public. I do however give a star rating right after having played it. This initial rating is part of the total scoring.
I hope this clears up a few things 
[/ QUOTE ]
Nice
Small suggestion, maybe you could draw a quick flyer or something, and have Niv post it in this, or the thread in the MA forum, similar to other event flyers, because I think this one isn't getting the attention it deserves.
Posts drown quickly in the MA forums, so having a red name to track it, along with a nice picture should be a nice boost.
My entry for anyone else who wants to try it:
Arc Name: The Magic of Longbow
ID: 128646
Faction: Villian
Creator: @SkitchNM
Length: 4 missions, short and mediums
Enemies: Custom (Longbow Mystics) and Circle of Thorns
Difficulty: The Longbow Mystics are elemental based so they can get a bit tricky, and you get a powerful ally for the last boss (ally help is optional). No elite bosses or archvillains.
Suggested Level: 40+
Estimated Playtime: About an hour
Description: A new branch of Longbows have emerged, all armed with magical powers. These Longbows will lead to massive death and destruction around the Islands unless someone stops them.
I Will Dance On Your Grave (Arc 92630)
Poster: horror, voodoo, necromancy
Lvl 1-50, no EBs or AVs, soloable, 5 missions
A faction of Skulls (custom version) have turned to voodoo and necromancy. Can you stop them from turning Paragon City into the city of the dead?
If I had a slot, I'd love to do a new arc for it. But since I am slotless at the moment, for your consideration:
#24002 A Farming Tale
Global: @GadgetDon
Farmer Brown needs your help. Four men went out to the back forty, three came back with tales of weird monsters. He needs you to rescue the last man, and find out what's happening. (Not a farming arc, it's an arc about a farm.)
My arcs are constantly shifting, just search for GadgetDon for the latest.
The world beware! I've started a blog
GadgetMania Under Attack: The Digg Lockout
Here's a quickie for ya. Just 1 mish with 5 cute Anime school-girl bosses and bunch of in-jokes. If you've heard of Azumanga Daioh you'll enjoy the in-jokes, but if not, it should still be amusing:
Enter the Father Hat Gang arc ID 21391 (click link for teaser Poster)
Have fun and good luck. Should be pretty breezy with either of your level 50s, you may want to bump it to at least Rugged.
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

My PM has already been sent, but I welcome everyone to take a peek at my arc!
Arc Name: Welcome to the Nexus
Arc ID: 59250
Faction: Custom Groups
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Nibb Nibb
Difficulty Level: Medium
Synopsis: Role play true historic settings and events while following a story fitting both Heroes and Villains. Find hidden contacts, battle secret optional bosses, discover extra clues, all while traveling a three mission arc for a mysterious group. Part one of a three part series!
Morality: Neutral
Estimated Time to Play: 25 - 40 solo / 30 - 60 team
PM sent - good luck to all, I look forward to trying out some of the arcs posted here. Here's mine -
Arc 131158
Dr. Sigler and the ChronoJumper
A long, story driven arc concerning what happens when you tamper with forces not fully understood. A look at the consequences of even the most minor actions, and the hard decisions a hero must face when the fate of the world is in his hands.
For upper level solo characters, some missions will be harder than others, but no EB or AV involved, so should be accessible to most. My first story, I have so much more respect for the story developers now....
For anyone who wants to play my entry:
The Quest for Fish Melee by @rose.
Arc ID:99058

Silence!!! I kill you!
I designed one with lowbies in mind, so it uses 1 small and 2 medium maps, and all the enemies are set to Standard. I also tried to give a slight spin to a cliched mission type ("Runaway toys!").
