The Monthly Claims Thread that isn't in the archive will work fine. We didn't have any claims for a while so there was no need to start a new thread each month.

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with Orm. I think everyone would rather wait on a writer to really establish the present day Aquaman's story outside of JL than potentially scare on away by taking arguably his arch enemy (although I personally believe Black Manta deserves that title).

So, I'm really sort of struggling to get into the Flash.
Full disclosure, I am terrible at Origin stories. I much prefer to jump into the story and go from there, so I am struggling a little bit in setting everything up. Obviously, as a first issue it needs to set up things - Who is the Flash? What do they do? Why are they around? and introduce characters and conflict but...I dunno, my opening section is really bland and weak, I think. I feel like there needs to be more, and I'm unconvinced that the actual "origin" I have and main goal for Flash is achievable. Why is there such a curse around this character?

Thanks man, that would be appreciated.
I'm just kind of stuck. I know where I want to be, but getting there...that's causing some difficulties - like to the point where I am/considered leaving Flash and going for something else.

Do whatever you feel you must. If it's not clicking, it's not clicking. I will say the small writer base we've established means you'd potentially have the time to just write a first issue before you claim anything without your claims being interrupted or taken. That way you won't have to keep claiming and dropping, rise and repeat, with a title. I hope that doesn't sound mean. I'm just trying to help (....and limit the number of times we have to clean up the MCL).

What are you feeling? There's the majority of the DCU that hasn't been touched yet.

If you're still interested in Flash, send me what you have and we can talk about it and bounce some ideas back and forth

Cross - I've just sent you my first part of issue #1 for the Flash.
Drake/Adrini, in terms of what I am feeling? I've had lots of feelings but not really settled on anything. I keep heading back to two concepts - One is this sort of high-fantasy idea involving the Elemental people of the DC Universe, but I'd really want to do it as a kind of second gen thing to get behind the whole "Ultimate" idea. So, Maxine Baker instead of Buddy, that sort of thing. Or just...de-aging. Who knows? I'm not sure I know what I want to do anymore - Confused.
I dunno. I really wanted to do Flash but something about it is just making it difficult.

If you really want to do Flash, I'd recommend just going with what you've got or tweaking it slightly, simply because you may never find that "perfect" story. You may not even realize it, but your idea may be perfect and you just haven't clicked with it yet.
