    Default Aspiring writers & professional daydreamers: if DC accepted fan submissions, what would your submission(s) be?

    Unfortunately, DC doesn't accept unsolicited writing submissions. But if they did, what's the one story (or group of stories) you'd place your best shot on? It would no doubt have to be about a character or set of characters you know extremely well, and give an angle creative and different enough that it stands out. I'm not really asking what you think you could create that DC needs in the current climate per se, but rather what story you think would grip a reader enough for them to give you a call back.

    Writing a comic book story arc is something I'd like to accomplish just for fun out of my love for the characters. I don't think I'd get published, but it's fun to think about and I'd like to think what I come up with is something that other fans/readers could relate to and appreciate. My most recent idea is a Justice League story where the antagonist(s), whoever they end up being, try to destroy the league not by external attack but by internal implosion, preying on and manipulating the existing personality clashes and vulnerabilities of each character so that it caves in on itself. Not necessarily driving them to hate each other, but making their personal priorities shift and cause conflict with their commitments and each others' priorities.

    Simple,the Justice Society of America and Stormwatch (the original) Wildstorm version. I would try to bring them together on one earth together but it would not be a simple task the only thing easy would be the decision.

    I would propose a dcu reboot. I would use the reboot to turn all the gods into weak aliens so that most characters and heroes in the dcu will not be too powerful. The only powerful god left can be the god of Spectre. All the alien gods can use boom tubes to get to earth including the baby Superman. Since the kryptonians are no longer too powerful, can have more kryptonian survivors in New Krypton, phantom zone, etc. and kryptonite can be an energy source similar to the energon of Transformers. If they don't want to use boom tubes, both Superman and the Lanterns can use space ships. Can just say humans and human looking aliens are somehow related so can have more alien races including Kherubim and Daemonites who can use boom tubes to get to earth. New gods, greek gods, etc are just aliens so they can also use boom tubes to get to earth.

    Those sound more like new rules. What story would you tell?

    My Submission? Hehe:

    Justice League Covert: If the Suicide Squad and X-Force made a baby, you'd get these guys. Steve Trevor creates a new team that isn't associated with ARGUS in any shape or form. This is Steve's side team that no one else knows about. It's consisted of Green Arrow, Katana, Hawkman, Creeper, Peacemaker, Batwoman & Deathblow. If that's not a kickass roster, then I don't know what is. They will take on secret societies, terrorist groups & more. They take on missions that are probably too small for the Justice League, but they are just as dangerous nonetheless.

    CAPTAIN CARROT AND HIS AMAZING ZOO CREW!!!

    The ZC issues that worked best were the ones that spoofed comic tropes with it's fun likable cast to connect you, and there are SO MANY tropes to make fun of now a days/since the original book came out!!!!
    Help a fellow fan out and check out my writing, please:
