Guardians: a superhero dropdown

Pillywiggin · Post by **Pillywiggin** » Fri May 13, 2005 4:57 pm

Eligibility for Guardians requires your comic to contain a Superhero/ine as a central or frequently appearing character. This is a scifi/crimefighting based dropdown: defenders from alien invasions and mafia overlords welcome.

There is a minimum standard of quality for the dropdown. The bar isn't very high, but if your comic makes my eyes hurt or is unreadable due to poor font choice then you might be turned down. A coherent storyline for non-episodic comics would be nice too.

Your comic must also have at least 10 full pages or 20 strips archived and your storyline must have reached a point where I can tell whether or not you qualify.

You also need to place one of the following dropdown codes on either your main page (preferable) or your links page.

Wow, I so going to... Wait, I'm already listed?

Whoah.
*Puts up script*

<edit> Oh yeah, info:

Comic Name: Mechagical Girl Lisa A.N.T (A.N.T for short)
URL: http://ant.keenspace.com
Penname: Ida. Well, pen and pen...
Name of superhero: Lisa, currently. There'll be more, but this far, it's just Lisa.
Comic Rating: I'm not all that familiar with the American rating system (we have a different one over here), but so far I've been classing it as PG for bloodless and cartoon violence and some swearing (so far it's not been worse than 'bloody hell')
This is what you meant by rating, right?</edit>

Oops. Okay, fixed. Come back when you're ready with your new one!

By "superhero" do you mean actually "super" ("powers and abilities far beyond those of wimps like me") or is "costumed crimefighter" (a la Batman) acceptable?

While he may be genetically-enhanced deficient, I've always considered batman to be a superhero. So yes, that's fine.

The word "superhero" never actually shows up on the dropdown anyway.

Okay, then. While the dropdown doesn't say "superhero" your description up above does, so I wanted to make sure.

Comic: Cold Servings
Address: http://www.coldservings.com
Author's Name: David L. Burkhead
Superhero: No "superhero" name
Rating: Web-MA (The intent is to deal with crime and violence in a realistic manner.)

Cold Servings has been added.

Don't forget to put the dropdown code on your site!

Dburkhead · Post by **Dburkhead** » Mon May 16, 2005 1:04 pm

Already done.

Look! I've got super speed!

You might want to check with the authors of Point Guardian and Mindmistress, two other comics I follow, if they'd want to join.

Include Mindmistress. I'll update the "Guardian" dropdown on my next update, tomorrow.
Comic Name :Mindmistress
URL : http://mindmistress.keenspace.com
Penname : Al Schroeder
Name of superhero : Mindmistress
Comic Rating : Um. Mild PG-13 for occasional violence. --Al

Pillywiggin · Post by **Pillywiggin** » Wed May 18, 2005 12:59 am

Okay, Mindmistress is on!

Dburkhead · Post by **Dburkhead** » Wed May 18, 2005 7:59 am

And I have hittage! Hits from both Mindmidstress and Green Avenger on my site, and since neither of those have direct links to Cold Servings*, they must come via the dropdown.

Yay!

*Why is that, I wonder? Could it be because I really suck?

Ryuko · Post by **Ryuko** » Wed May 18, 2005 10:57 am

Or it's because I haven't read your comic.

Hey ya

I'm not sure if my comic really fits here ... there's lots of people with superpowers but none of them are really practicing heroes. In particular there's nothing I can put under "codename" because, well, they're not allowed codenames.

And anyway, I'm a few short of the "20 strips" marker. But, if you say it's good, I'll come back a week on Tuesday and fill out an application...

(For reference: http://specialschool.keenspace.com - I really must knock up some kind of banner or something)
