Ray's 53rd DCU/GrayHaven Megathread - Beware the Court of OOMPHwls!!!

[Ray G.]

Ooooh, I still have my 2011 5 page Kickstarter reward. I wonder if there's an expiry date on that.

Ask! If you felt strongly about one of your pitches this time, you might be able to get it in, but that's up to Andrew and the editor of that volume, of course.

I can't speak for Andrew, but I think they're still available. The problem is we'd need to know up front so that we can get a proper page count when selecting pitches. So my thoughts would be if any of the next round sound awesome to you, let us/them know right away that you want the five-pages for that volume so that we can allot it.

I wouldn't be surprised if I'm blacklisted for too much engaging Sasha.

Your two were the two I was most confident about. I was proud of my erotica and ghost stories pitches, but I'm not sure if that's what they were looking for. They were challenging themes, and I definitely spent the most time of any volumes puzzling over my submissions there.

Well done for both, looking forward to seeing what you come up with

E-mails for Tales from the Abyss and Erotica are both out. Tales was warfare, as expected, and Erotica had some nice interest from various erotica writers.

Congrats to those who are in!

Yay!

I wonder if there's any chance to get submission stats for these volumes. There were some really interesting, unique themes this time, and I'd love to see what got the most and least pitches.

Abyss got a ton

mostly from newbies believe it or not

Fairy Tales got less than the first time around

*points to Andrew*

I still have my apprentice win to cash in too

I believe Crime got the most interest out of the main books. That one was a battlefield too.

I didn't pitch to that one, because the crime genre usually doesn't appeal to me (with Criminal being an exception), and I figured it would be stacked with people who had great ideas. Looks like my hunch was right.

[Matthew Brown]

Huh, I seem to have only pitched to crime. This will work out!

Ah, cool. Thanks. Looking forward to the next batch already.

Kathryn and Stuart Immonen are the creative team on Avenging Spider-Man #7. Huh. This might be an anthology title in the vein of Superman/Batman, instead of a consistent team-up title by Wells.

[Ray G.]

The Hulk weekly appears to be a flashback tale set throughout the years focusing on his interaction with the Avengers. Tom DeFalco, Joe Casey, Roger Stern, Jim McCann, and someone called "Jan Van Lente" are the writers. I'm not sure if that last one is Jen Van Meter.

Hope wells isn't elaving but I'll take that creative team any day!
