Group Info

Superhero fiction is a niche area and it can be difficult to find in the sea of regular literature and fan-fiction. This is a group for writers and readers, and general lovers, of superheroes. We will exclusively feature literature featuring superheroes. This includes original characters, fan-fiction, and fan-character stories. All ranges of talent welcome! At this time, we will not accept art, but in the future we plan to open a folder for illustrations of lit pieces.

Membership

:bulletblack: Membership is open and automatically approved. Feel free to join or devWatch the group.

:bulletblack: We expect all members to be respectful to other members and the admins. We don't like to ban people, but members will be removed and/or blocked from the group for aggressive behavior.

:bulletblack: Remember, in order to get feedback and comments, it's polite to give feedback and comments. We encourage members to frequent the works of other members.


Submission Policy

:bulletblue: Submissions are open. They must be approved by one admin, but that should generally happen within 24-48 hours of submission.

:bulletblue: Stories MUST contain a superhero or sidekick. Superhero is defined as being a costumed or themed character, with or without super-powers. This can sometimes be a gray area, but for clarity, this group was created to help writers of superhero fiction get their writing seen. There are numerous groups for Pokemon and video-game characters, and thus those characters are not considered superheroes by our definition. Think Batman, the Green Hornet, etc.

:bulletblue: We will accept entries with mature themes (meaning sex and blood), but they MUST contain a mature filter. Sorry, but we have kids and we want to assure safe-surfing for them and our members.

Superkid Issue # 3: Doctor Red part 1
  
    I’m sure you’ve noticed, but it’s only after the superhero comes along that the supervillains rear their ugly heads to wreak havoc on the world--the mutated giant spider is a case in point. But if you really think about it, if it happened the other way around then the hero would probably never rise up to save the day because there wouldn’t be anything to rise up from! Well I guess there are some that actually do but stories like that are called dystopias, and who really wants to listen to all the griping about the lack of freedom, dismal living conditions, and downtrodden voices, eh?
    Now you probably remember that I mentioned Doctor Red before. You know, in the first part of Issue # 1? That’s right, we’re going to be meeting him in this issue.
    Previously, in Issue # 2, Superkid had fought a monstrous spider that Character profile: Grey TigerRiko Haloga AKA Grey Tiger
Favorite color: Brown the color of 'her' eyes
Best friend: Jimmy Haloga my bro
Catchphrase: 'will you stop being a idiot'
Powers: I'm an acrobatic ninja with feline abilities.
Age: 16
Enemy: Spider girl and the rest of my team.

A simple two wheeled farming cart, being pulled by a slightly withered looking grey horse, was bringing a very saddened couple back to their home and farm after spending the entire day journeying to the town of Metropolis, after their meeting with the town’s doctor.

Both were dressed as the usual “farm bumpkins” some would say, and the moon was brin

Artists of Relativity - Vol. 2A monthly series which will feature artists and artwork from the Relativity serial, which is published over on my `mirz-alt account and can be found at #RelativityComic. As I frequently showcase work from the series, I wanted also promote the individual artists and feature some of their other work.  This series will spotlight deviants who have created art for us through commissions, gift-art, contest-entries, requests or other means.

As I had intended to do an article to feature Relativity art we received from a project which we're wrapping up, I thought it would be a good way to launch this series. Note that in the future, a wide range of superhero art and literature will be showcased, not just my stuff =p.
The Relativity Profile Project
Back in June of 2012, `Ravenswd and I planned a special project for our fiction series, Relativity. Looking at our group gallery, we noticed that we did not have a lot of good, full-figured pictures of our characters. This made creating profile sheets and other promotional items difficult. So we set up a little fund in order to purchase a few commissions of the main heroes. We were on a tight budget and looked for artists that would work wit

Legend of the Cheese Maidens   "And what, dare I ask, is a Cheese Maiden?"
   Ravenswood chuckled. "Sorry. They were the cheerleaders at my high school." He sat up in the bed to face Melody. "I grew up in an area that was little more than a bunch of dairy farms. Pretty much everything in town had a name relating to cows, milk, or cheese. So my school newspaper was The Daily Moo, the football team was the Rustlers, and the cheerleaders were Cheese Maidens."
   Melody smiled coyly. "So it would really turn you on if I dressed up as a cheerleader?"
   Ravenswood hid his face in embarrassment. He was still uncomfortable talking to his wife about his sexual leanings, even though the number of suggestions she had made about bedroom activities far outnumbered his, and were generally much more adventurous. "Yeah," he admitted.
   Melody thought for a moment, then asked, "So, was there any girl in particular?"

The room was large and dark, dark enough that they could only see each other when sitting close enough at their large round table. There were four of them. Three seemed human enough in appearance, with, but one looked odd, as if not human at all. They had all been discussing the plan they had formed. It was not usual for all of these people to be together, or even to join together for that matter. But thanks in part to the dealings and offerings made by the leader of the group, that made all the difference.

"So, are we agreed?" the lead figure asked, as he sat

Valentine's Contest + New Visual EntryAfter a good amount of positive feedback, the deadline for the contest has been extended. The new deadline is May 31, 2013. �No further extensions will be given.
Support stamp!

In celebration of Valentine's Day (which is today) we are hosting a Relativity contest! Note, this theme is a bit different than our past contests, so be sure to read everything.
The theme is Romantic Love
Just what that means depends on you. Perhaps it's a shipping of two characters. Perhaps it's unrequited love where one side gives and the other doesn't reciprocate. Perhaps it's a tainted love that ends with screams and gunshots.
Who's in love? That's up to you, and you have TWO options:
:bulletwhite: One of your original characters paired up with one of the Relativity OCs.
or
:bulletwhite: You may pair two of the Relativity characters who are not currently in a relationship.
The reason we are doing it this way is to allow as many people to participate, regardless if they have an

Rippling pectorals, Muscle Man! An acceptance message! It was like they were waiting for us!
Never doubt the power of a friendly greeting, Boy Biceps.
