Our Reading Lists
Anti-Heroes and Awesome Antagonists: Because we all root for the villain on occasion and if that's what your story does, it probably belongs right here!
Girl Power!: This one's all about the ladies! If your story's main character is a kick-ass female hero or villain, this is the place for it!
Heroic Humor: Superhero stories that tickle one's fancy.
Mutants and Masterminds: Think X-Men, and you're not going to be far wrong. If your story deals with powers gained by genetic manipulation or evolution, then we'll put it here!
Myths and Magic: If your story features supercharged Gods, Goddesses, Angels, Demons, or any conceivable otherworld or powers gained via magical means, this is your place!
No Power, No Problem: Technically, Batman stories would go on this list but it's fair to say he'd probably kick our butts if we did that! This is the list for non-powered heroes, stories all about folk who put on capes, masks, and costumes even though they're everyday people!
Super Love: If your story details the budding (or established, of course) romance between a hero and villain, a hero and an ordinary human or, indeed, an ordinary human and a villain, then it needs to go on this list!
The New Guys: For those folk amongst you who've created and written about your own superpowered individuals, this list is for you!
