Yes, I'm aware the month is half over but that other topic is getting big and we have some changes. Don't forget the new addition to claims.
OLD NEWS.
This topic is now officially Feb's since it is so tiny and has the New Year Changes in it. You guys get your three claims to use in Feb now once you are up to date.
"2. There have also been changes to additional claims. We’re reducing it down to three from five with a restriction before you can claim any more. You must be up to date with your title and have posted that month’s title.
Ex: Miller has updated Flash but not JSA so he can make a claim for Flash."
Besides that, the admins have been a bit disappointed about the lack of reading and reviewing across the discussion topics. It seems to be the same people time and time again with many of you only responding to your own topics. I know as a writer myself of 2.5 titles, it frustrates me to see my view count go up but nobody comments. I know there are things I can do better or something I managed to do well but I won't know where to shore up my weakpoints without feedback.
This is a social site, remember that. We really don't want to have to enforce this rule:
"2. You will be asked to read and review other titles. We are all writers and we all write to be read. It's a common courtesy that if you write to be read, you should be reading and writing reviews for other peoples work. I'm not asking for an essay, just a quick blurb of things you like or don't like. I'm not saying you'll lose your title if you don't read and review, but it may get to that point."
We're not going to go that far right now but we are discussing measures to encourage you to provide feedback.
Other than that, if you have claims in the December topic that have not made it to the Master Claims list or had a board created then post here as a reminder or PM me and the admins will get to it.
----
Here is where we will claim titles and characters. Remember to check the rules before you make claims. I'd much rather not have to say no, if I can avoid it.

Jan Claims
Character: Calobis
Title: Ultimate WildC.A.T.S.
Type: Villain
Character: The D'rahn
Title: Ultimate WildC.A.T.S.
Type: Villain
As for my third request, I think I will save it for now, pending on an answer as to what has happened to Leviathan? He hasn't posted an issue in several months now, and hasn't been on the site in over a month. I am not ashamed to admit I covet Zealot for both my series, as well as The Great and Secret War Mini-Series.

Your claims are approved and his title is currently under discussion.
[glow=red,2,300]Character Request[/glow]
Character: Colin Wilkes (Abuse)
Title: Spoilers
Hero/Villain/Support: Support
Character: Falcone Family
Title: Spoilers
Hero/Villain/Support: Villain
I think that pretty much shores up the needed characters for Spoilers Volume 1. I'll probably be making only one more claim for them sometime in February for Story Purposes. Don't think I need anyone else until Lone Haven Knights.

BIG FLAMING ATTENTION
I know we have to be missing a claim here or there from December since the three of us have been leading crazy lives either personal or technological in nature.
Double Check the Master Claims List to see if your claims were added. If you know you're missing someone, then notify me either in this topic or through PM by the end of the week. If you don't, you may just lose whatever it was.
---
On that note, I'm sad to say that Aquaman has been lost again. (what is this, the third time?) and so have the Expendables.

I really wish I had the time to pick up a third title because Aquaman needs to have a significant place in the DC Universe.

Lady Zannah (Zealot) for Ultimate WildC.A.T.S. please.
Oh, when someone has time could the Master Claims list for Ultimate Pilgrim go onto the page?
and, tiny item...it is Calobis, not Calabis (though considering his obscurity, it really ain't no big thang)...
Thanks, now back to writing my mini...

Having not finished the first issue of Outsiders yet, I would totally stop writing that to take up Aquaman.

Support, Hero, Villain? There's that form for a reason. ^_^ I suppose, though if you look at WildC.A.T.S., I got traditional heroes as villains, and vice versa. I don't play well with the traditional roles...hahaha, especially since my main 'hero' characters are straddling a real line between being good and bad guys. Just stick her in Support (with her daughter) for now, I suppose. TY. To be honest, wasn't expecting to have her so other than as part of my big mini, still figuring out how I am going to work her in... |

Makes it impossible to give Kaldur any definitive backstory to the family when people keep dropping it. Other two claims are approved. |

Gaiman's series is a favorite of mine as well, and I just reread it the other night putting together my initial story ideas and character want list (as well as some classic 70's Phantom Strangers, the Amethyst series and the recent Zatanna series). I didn't have enough claims to use every character I wanted, and honestly Mr. E never really appealed to me. He may have a role down the line in the story if he remains unclaimed, but assuming this goes well, there are other additions I would make first.

I don't see the need to claim Gemworld. 2. On the matter of Dark Circle and the Cold Flame... Not sure where I stand with that given the limited info I've found. Don't think I can give Dark Circle until someone else weighs in. As for The Cold Flame cult, unless you can find more info for me, I see you as needing to claim Boodikka as well or talk to Jross. Other than that, given that two of the three Zatara characters have been claimed and the admins need to discuss what to do with in continuity characters that have not been used in awhile, especially those in Zatanna, I grant limited control over him in conjunction with the Shadowpact wrtiers. Edit: Ask and you shall receive. Dark Circle is good to go as a group (without the specific members) but Cold Flame will still need some work. --- Buck: Only going for 3, eh? Fine with me. I'll give you until the end of Jan to decide if you want to add more or change the lineup. Approved. |

Edit: Ask and you shall receive. Dark Circle is good to go as a group (without the specific members) but Cold Flame will still need some work. --- I can work around the Cold Flame for now if I got the Dark Circle. Part of the backdrop is a competition between dark powers trying to get to Tim Hunter, and I can accomplish this with Faerie, Brother Midnight, Tannaruk & Tala and the Dark Circle. The Cold Flame was the most active cult in trying to get to Tim in the original BoM series, so I included them in my initial outlines, but I can edit them out if the claim is problematic. -M |

Oh ho... Look what happens when you search "Cold Flame Cult" instead of "Cold Flame DC" you don't get the Brotherhood of the Cold Flame, you get a group that is opposed to Tim Hunter.
Nevermind. Had it confused with another group with a similar name. You can keep Cold Flame Cult.
And, do you want to replace Gemworld with anything? Also after discussing it, we're granting you John Zatara as Wallpaper. Just please keep the Shadowpact writers up to date if you decided to do something major with him between Ultimate Zatanna and your series.

Hmm, cool. John Zatara was going to be my first claim after I got issue 2 done Guess I don't nee dot do that now. I PMed you about why I claimed Gemworld, I will wait and see how you respond about that before I put forward a replacement if I do. -M |
