Thanks so much for the example. Makes it easier to visualize and better word things (I get a little flowery and narrative if left to my own devices). So To everyone taking part in this, may the best of the best win, and those not picked, to still feel accomplishment for daring to try. (I really hope that last part didn’t come out as being pompous or condescending).
Also, Are you accepting only ONE pitch, or can we send in multiple and u choose one?
You'd have to submit one at a time. And while you can drop whatever text into the text field you want, clarity and succinctness is always a good way to go.
Appreciate that. Hopefully my best will be able to impress.
Sidebar: I know u like to focus on ur 3w3m stuffy primarily, but I’d like to ask a question about ur time recently in the X-office. Of all the evil robots that seemed to be showing up, why did a major mech baddie like Bastion never make it into the Orchis hierarchy?
I still remember him back in X-force and Mae one coming, one of the best villains in the X-men mythos, which is why I’m surprised he never came up anytime since 2019. I’m sure there’s an easy answer, but I figured I’d just ask while I could.
Again, thanks for the sample for the submission John. Appreciate it.
Follow up question sir, do I just want the paragraph, or can we leave a few notes to describe anything that we have in our pitch for reference or for visualization?

This publication is what inspired me to self publish my own work in this format so it’s exciting to see it going in this direction. Wishing everyone good luck with their pitches!
FORMAT QUESTION: I wrote mine on my Macbook via Pages. Should I leave it in that file type? Would you prefer it PDF'd for consistency or anything? Or do I need to convert it to Word or anything. Thank you in advance!
I looked at it today, you'll have to cut and paste your paragraph into the text field in the portal. Don't worry too much about dressing things up for us.
Is that really the pitch for F4 you gave? Coz man, knowing what we know now, that is a real tight, concise pitch and somehow covers F4 , Avengers and Secret Wars.
It’s the second greatest, behind the creation of the F4. Anyway sorry back to the contest.
No. When I pitched F4 in the room it covered multiple years, extended out past the allocated whiteboard space and, apparently, was so insane I almost lost the job. Haha. I'm better at it now.
We wouldn't close it in 24 hours no matter how many we get. Won't be a problem. (I don't anticipate us getting over 100 in the first day. I could be wrong, but it's not something you have to worry about).
I have never done anything like this before, but I would be kicking myself if I didn't attempt to fully engage with such a vibrant universe. I am incredibly excited both to take part, and to see what all of us come up with!
Would it be possible to keep the link open for at least 24 hours to allow us poor unfortunates in the southern hemisphere (i.e. Australia) a fighting chance to submit our pitches?

Wishing you tons of luck, Josyah!
Really appreciate that bro!
what time is the link dropping?
Open now.
Hello,
Is the portal opening soon (today)? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything/looking in the wrong spot. Thanks!!
Open now.
Thanks. I actually submitted earlier today, about 3mins. after it opened (just to be safe).

Hi! Will the submission portal be open at least a day to allow for conflicting schedules/time zones? For example it opens at 9 eastern and you get 100
submissions within an hour, but someone was working a shift and couldn’t submit in the first hour. Cheers!
We wouldn't close it in 24 hours no matter how many we get. Won't be a problem. (I don't anticipate us getting over 100 in the first day. I could be wrong, but it's not something you have to worry about).
I think you might be surprised. There are a lot of hungry writers out here!
The link is live on the site. Best of luck to all of us.
Hi, I'd like to ask will the portal link be sent as a new post or is it hidden somewhere in the archives?
I've been waiting for a post all day and just haven't seen one, I'm afraid I might miss the deadline.
Open now.
I have never done anything like this before, but I would be kicking myself if I didn't attempt to fully engage with such a vibrant universe. I am incredibly excited both to take part, and to see what all of us come up with!
Would it be possible to keep the link open for at least 24 hours to allow us poor unfortunates in the southern hemisphere (i.e. Australia) a fighting chance to submit our pitches?
Yes. Not a problem.
Ready!
Excitement rising!
One question… is there a specific time the portal will open? I don’t want to show up late and 100 submissions have already been sent in.
I see the answer. Thanks!
