Andrew Perron pointed out: {blinks} Blast and damnation, you're right. I could claim that the story was too short or too rushed to fit that in, but the truth is that it never occurred to me. Major league oversight there. - Saxon Brenton

On Tuesday 31/August/2010 Russ Allbery replied: Okay, that's interesting. Am I correct in assuming that it was 'HCC12' in the subject line rather than 'Contest'? In which case I should make a mental note to add 'Contest' in the appropriate subject description in the future. Or is it something else we should nevertheless be aware of?

THE NEW LOOK Why the World Journal Monthly Has Changed On Monday May 10, 2010, the reporters of the World Journal Monthly were told there'd been a change of ownership and we should stay home through Tuesday. We usually stay home anyway. But there was no "new
We seem to be two days from the deadline, with only one entry thus far. And so, I'm using my Magic Contest Admin Powers to extend the deadline until August 29th- one week from now. Commence with the crackalackin'.
He held up one of his Quintom bands, and it lit up the intergalactic medium. Intellectually, Seyfert knew that he wasn't actually seeing anything; though each atom around him was heated to about 100,000 Kevins, this far out, there were only about thirty atoms per cubic meter. But the bands allowed him to sense them, and the metaphor of vision helped him deal with the input.
I came to your Earth with Johnny Flamer, the Man-Torch. He has this scientist friend who found the way there from our Earth. Your Earth's orbit was intersecting our Earth's orbit or something. Most Earths don't do that, but yours was special.
Always ten steps ahead, that Shaka Zoom. Plans within plans, a web of contingencies and feints that are nearly as impossible to comprehend as they are to predict. Proclaimed as the world's greatest mind, and not just self-proclaimed, at that.
The cover shows an aged Weapons Master ducking under several blades as a gout of flame narrowly misses him. The ceiling appears to be getting lower as well. "I'm gettin' too old for this crap," Chuck Morse hissed as he looked up at the rapidly descending basalt slab. This was followed by hoping that his last words wouldn't be a cliche.
In popular media, but a little less so in actual practice, the deathtrap is one of the signature melodramatic tools of the supervillain. But, thinking about all the things that get called deathtraps, it feels like there's more than one kind of thing there. A slowly dropping ceiling in an ancient temple is a lot different in design and purpose from one of Doctor Developer's creations, but both are called deathtraps.

Lalo... There's tons of spam on the LNH wiki... [link] I'm not going to bother deleting or reverting any of it until you ban people without accounts from editing... Anyone else is free to do so if they want... Arthur "Where's the Order of St. Doomas?" Spitzer
A number of factors- including, but not limited to, Yahoo's tendency to become increasingly buggy and frustrating- have compelled me, after seven years, to abandon my old e-mail address. The new address, as you can see, is joltcity at gmail dot com. ==Tom, New and Shiny

I'm working on a website for my stories, and I'm in a bit of a quandary over the various Just Imagine Saxon Brenton's RACCies series. I'd like to put in all the various chapters of the various series - my chapters in the original cascade don't make a lot of sense without context, and Just Imagine IV is deeply continuity-based - but I have no idea how to contact

First, thanks to everyone: everyone who voted for me, everyone who voted for someone else, everyone who has participated and kept these contests going. It's surely a great honour to have won another contest, but it means even more to me that these contests have become, in Saxon's words, our current play-thing. It's been over a year since

The LNH, or Legion of Net.Heroes, is a society of those beings who emulate the spirit of adventure and undying quest for justice while clothed in spandex and a never-ending stream of bad jokes. In short, we are super-heroes, or at the very least authors who spend what spare time we have writing about super-heroes.

Since I'm low on idea juice, I'm going to with an old standby of mine: DEATH TRAPS! How complex can a death trap be? How simple can it be? Can you make a death trap out of ideas? Philosophy? People?

First and foremost, RACC is a site for people to post comics-related fiction. Stories about long-underwear vigilantes, anthropomorphic animals, SF, westerns, even Kleen Teens if anyone is so moved. As long as it relates to comics it's okay. So whether you're a reader, a writer, or that fabled creature the critic, or even all three - welcome to RACC: it's all the story, none of the art! (yet)
