Epilogue

Congrats go out to everyone who made it in. The selection process for this was REALLY tough. Generally speaking, there were some very very good stories that didn't make the cut, purely based on space in the book, whether that/those character(s) were already used, or overused, and also continuity.

Of course, it's practically impossible with something like this to guess or organise continuity before or even during the submissions process, so I guess it was a bit of pot luck in that respect (Bill and I wanted to see what everyone came up with on their own, with only our prompts to guide them).

I'll be in touch with everyone who was accepted soon about continuity issues, and general editing bits and bobs.

As a sort-of taster, these are some of the characters who feature most prominently in the book:

St North and Dr Pustual (of course), Goatman, Crisis, The Canadian, Evil Penguin, and Nykee, with a bunch of other characters getting cameos, walk-on parts, and so forth. I honestly think we've got a decent little universe here, and hope it does well when it gets published (publication date is still TBA).

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

Oh noes!

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

Thank you to everyone who submitted, we've got a tough time ahead of us sorting out the wheat from the chaff and we'll try and get back to everyone asap.

However: I'm moving house this weekend and Bill's away so it's unlikely we'll get in touch with all y'all 'til sometime next week (because we'll probably both be offline) - just a heads up, a cruel twist of the tension knife BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Come along Bill, my diabolical cohort, let us away to cause more awkward mischief!

THE HOUR IS AT HAND!

Today's the final day for submissions, kiddos! Get 'em in, chop chop!

TICK TOCK

Time's almost up!

CLOSER, IT LOOOOOOOOOOOMS!

Deadline's just under a month away, kiddies!

Woop!

I WANT TO FEEEEEEEEL IT!

Hey kids,

Every story we've received so far has been different to each other, so no duplicate ideas, which is ace, but *I* would like to see more stories that take into account the villains discovering there are still heroes left and also take into account how normal people and the governments of the world are reacting to the aftermath of the Cataclysm.

I won't comment on any of the stories received so far, but I will say stories that don't really reference the Cataclysm are fine, of course, but it would really put you in my good books if you can make me feel like our world really is in the grip of supervillains and everybody's struggling to cope.

Just over a month left 'til deadline, so get cracking you nutters! Woop!

Oh yeah and please please follow the guidelines for submission format. Thanks!
