Once... there was nothing. Then... a lot of crazy shit happened. Like really crazy shit. Like I think John Stewart was briefly a racist old stereotype. And that shit with Thawne randomly killing everyone. There were many universes. But our parents made us clean our room, and rather than wasting the whole afternoon tediously reorganizing all things in their place... we scooped up all universes and crammed them in the closet and told our mothers we were done. This universe is that closet." - Uatu the Watcher

So is this like a continuous Create-a-Post space (rather than a one-off like on superherohype); where we use it as a drawing board to tell stories we have inklings for?

This is a place where you can just jump in with an idea that doesn't fit anywhere else, revisit an idea that you never got to finish or burned out. Or just whatever, I don't care as long as you don't break site rules. A bunch of us were just lamenting old concepts we never completed and since most of these games result in a handful of people playing the same characters why not just let everyone do what they want and say screw it to continuity. If you want to collaborate with someone, just do it. Don't like what someone else is doing? Ain't your problem no more. Acknowledge what you like, don't worry about what you don't. Interact with everyone or no one.

Just have fun.

I'm in the business of putting together fancy headers for folks... And by business, I mean I do it for free... but a like wouldn't hurt.

Take your time boss, we're low mantainence out here.

Anyway, posted a slightly gussied up version of my old Vigilante / Ghost Rider sheet. Unlike with Spider-Man I don't think I'll be posting the backlog here, but it is still available to read. But when things get into gear, hopefully everyone will be able to enjoy the exploits of VigRider and Chow Yun Castle.

I have to admit, this is a cool concept. I was wondering if it would be alright for someone to post Batman content even if it's already been established?

So my question here is: Why did everyone (that isn't new/making someone new) decide to take a go at these characters again? Why bring them back?

As someone who will be taking a run at Constantine again for what is probably the fifth or sixth time:

Because the last time I played Constantine I burnt out and the game ended before I got into the meat of it, but I still have all my notes and the old posts and it’s probably one of the best stories I’ve ever come up with and some of the best writing I think I’ve ever done.

So instead of waiting for the right game with the right setting at the right time to come around and I’ll post my CS for approval and I may face some derision for repeating myself again and then I’ll Copy/paste old posts to pick up from and face more derision and then the game will die anyway......I just put it here and carry it on here. And I don’t have to worry about, how does my story fit into the setting? How does it fit into the character? Who’s interacting with me and how does that affect what I’m trying to achieve? What kind of widespread events are happening elsewhere in the game that I need to take into account in my story? Will my sheet even get approval? If it does, as I robbing someone else of the chance to tell their Constantine story? Am I robbing people not playing Constantine of the chance to use Constantine in their character’s story because if I get approved I’ll be the final authority on Constantine and how/where he appears, and what they want to do doesn’t work with my story? If I get Constantine and I write my story, what happens when the thread dies? What happens if I lose steam and the story is left unfinished and the character inactive?

I don’t worry about any of that. I just fuckin’ write the damn shit.
