Monthly AE Author Contests from The American Legion
The deadline for submitting AE arcs for the August contest has passed. Please wait until September 1 to begin submitting arcs for the September contest.
The winner will be announced on Friday August 26 at or shortly after 20:00 Eastern time. Thank you to those of you that submitted your mission arcs!
We are announcing a themed Arc Contest for one of the upcoming months...December's contest will be Christmas themed.
Christmas is my favorite holiday so I would like to see some great Christmas themed arcs for us to run that month. And as a special bonus...the December grand prize will be doubled to one billion influence. So Merry Christmas writers! Get your mission editor warmed up--I am looking forward to what you all can come up with!
(September's AE contest is not themed)
Congratulations to the winner of our August AE author contest!
Arc ID number 12285 SMALL FEARS by author @Wall of Knight!
You may submit your arcs for the September event beginning September 1! Thank you all for competing; and great job @Wall of Knight!
Congrats, I've been on that arc a lot recently - filming it for my next On Your M-Arc review, and it's a good one.
December's contest will be Christmas-themed?
I've got this in the bag, I hope.

Whoo, thanks! This, along with Bubbawheat's kind review, has actually given back some of my confidence in my writing... it was kind of flagging, although I'm not really sure why- maybe just a rough few months *shrug*
Nice to see that the work I put into it paid off, though. Was fun to do, there's something weirdly appealing about seeing just how far you can push the CoH costume creator for making weirdies, ghosties and goblins.

And a quick plug to you AE buffs; The American Legion Family of Super Groups on Virtue will be hosting a Patriot Day Event on September 10, 2011. Among the various events we will be putting on there will be an AE challenge; so you may want to come check it out and earn yourself a few extra bucks(inf). Other contests are detailed on the Player Events page so feel free to go check that out...good luck to you all with the September contest!
Two weeks left to submit arcs for this month's contest!
I would like to resubmit #183832 Save the Diver, Save the World - a Coralax story for heroes levels 25-30
I have made some significant changes
- adding a new race (referenced in the canon)
- changing a few mission bosses and allies
- replacing the bomb objectives with something else (based on feedback)
- adding a touch more detail in mob descriptions
- eliminating (I hope) the few remaining typos
- removing many, many (sometimes duplicate) clues
- and ever-so-reluctantly switching it from heroic
(I understand why I received the feedback to make it vigilante--and it should be a "little" unsettling for heroes--but after all, you do save the world without hurting anyone that doesn't deserve it and help a villain on the road to redemption--so I may just change that back. )
Anyway -- hope you have fun playing it! (I sure have making it.)
Try out my AE Arcs! (solo friendly, canon related, & some contest winners)

September's Winner is Arc ID: 183832 by @Ankylosaur
Save the Diver, Save the World
Congratulations!
Thank you to those that competed. October's contest is now active and you may submit arcs through 23:59 Eastern Time Friday, October 21. The winner will be announced at or shortly after Friday October 28 at 20:00 Eastern Time!
I have a new arc up. It's a work in progress, really, but what arc isn't? I figure I will enter it in the contest and see what you guys think about it:
ID 522067: "Project Dragon" (Working title.)
You have been invited to a martial arts contest on Tub Ci's secret hidden island. The FBSA has asked you to infiltrate the competition and find out what the Tsoo are up to.
I love the Tsoo and I don't think they get enough action in the game so I decided to make an arc with them. I recommend that you play it with your strongest character and set the difficulty as high as you can manage, to get the proper amount of enemies on the screen at once. Feel free to listen to your favourite kung-fu movie or beat-'em-up game soundtrack while you play it.

Save the Diver, Save the World Congratulations! |
Hopefully it will bump its plays a few ticks above it's current 19.
I am busy working on another canon inspired arc, though the immediate pressure is off as I can't submit this month.
A heartfelt thanks to the American Legion for supporting the AE system, encouraging authors, and giving additional rewards for our curious and incessant need to create/tweak stories!

I'll give it a try for this month:
Attack of the Atlantic Kingdom
Arc # 497681
The Atlantic Kingdom, a ruthless undersea military dictatorship, is demanding the United Nations to recognize them as a sovereign nation - a nation that includes the entire Atlantic Ocean! To press their point, they have invaded Paragon City! Is this their plan or is there 'more' to the attack?
