Good news, Bad news.

The formatting of the Universe bible looks like shit and the first story, Seraph, was supposed to post only the first chapter, but I somehow screwed that up as well so....

You get the entire story the first day!

Don't say I never gave you anything ;)

I am uploading a copy of the story prologue, which is also the backstory, along with a timeline for the stories I will be releasing shortly. Each has a list of Heroes and Rogues as well, to make things easier.

At the same time, the very first Hero League, Inc. universe story, Seraph, will be posted... or, at least, the first chapter. It will be on my regular release schedule of a new chapter every three days. It is only 7 chapters, but between 10-12K per, so my normal, long, chapters.

I hope you all enjoy the new Universe as much as I had fun creating it!

DISCLAIMER: This story idea was developed independantly and has been in existence for about 3 years. It is not new, ground-breaking or even particularly novel, but it is not derivative of any existing universe or series, either.

As stated before, I totally ripped off Mushrooms concept for a Hero support structure though, I found it too compelling and told him at the get go I was doing it. He had no issue with it, so if you do... tough titties. My structure bears only a philosophical resemblance to his in any case, so I doubt there will be problems.

You may notice similarities in names for characters, places, even terms used in my recent story, Lone Star. This is probably because they were written simultaneously, along with a few others I am working on, and sometime cross-pollination happens. I could find no issue that would cause confusion if you simply keep in mind they are two different universes!

It has been a hot minute since anyone reviewed one of my stories, so I wanted to thank reviewer burka_oz for taking the time to give us his thoughts on the tale!

If you didn't notice before I fixed it, then, well, um, nevermind?

I know, I know, don't start grabbing your pitchforks and torches yet, I'll get it fixed. I should be more careful about stuff that have such vocal fans! At least it wasn't swapping from Chevy to Ford.

Here's the deal... I like Chevy trucks, mostly, and started out with her having a bog-standard C10 Restomod, nice but not rare. Then, aside from writing the story, I was doing some work around the house and emptied a bookcase. One of the items was a picture album that contained, among other things, a pic of my sister with her ex-husband, in front of his Mopar Lil' Red Express Truck.

So, like a dummy, and because I loved those and the Warlocks, I switched trucks mid-story, just because it tickled me to do so. And... missed the earlier C10 reference.

DOH!

Anyway, the best laid plans and all that. The first three chapters, edited, have been loaded with fixes.

The response, so far, has been favorable and I can't ask for more than that. Thanks go out to all of you who keep me going!

This story is posting a new chapter every three days, but there are only 4 chapters, it is not an epic, it is a story.

If you want to get your shots in about how short it is, now you can start early! ;)

The other stories out for edit are a mixed bag with the first in the new universe being twice as long as Lone Star.

The second, third and fourth are even shorter than Lone Star though, while the fifth, sixth and seventh are in the works and who knows where they will end up.
